Forever 21- Oxford Street UK



SO...
Forever 21 Finally comes to London. Yaaaayy!! But wait i know what your thinking. Is the clothes cheap? Do they look good? What styles do they do? Have i been there?
To answer your questions yes i have been there. I went there in the first week of their opening as they opened 27th July i think.. I went with my mum.

First Impressions:
When i first entered the store i thought wow it looks amazing, there's about 3 floors and they all have a very diverse sense of style. Unfortunately i was very disappointed with the store. As i looked around the store appeared to be very messy. Due to the diverse styles prepy, rock, girly etc.. There was alot of help and loads of staff on hand all smiling and greeting customers around the store. It was very fast paced aswelll and there was hardly any space near the escalators to walk. I think that because it was still in the week of opening everyone was just very excited to be there. Me. Well... Not to so much. I only liked a few places in Forever 21, this consisted of the girly section on the bottom floor. This revolved around the Jeans and the lace and really pretty outfits in Forever 21. I also liked the section that involved the accessories. They were in fact amazing and again diverse. However the rings were very small and were all stored in one small place with most girls blocking the other sections.

The prices:
Well the prices which i checked out in my favourite sections ranged from £10- £24.75. To me i thought they were very expense as i could easily get a cheaper yet similar top from H&M for less than the asking price in Forever 21. On the otherhand i did agree with their Jeans as the price seemed reasonable with skinny Jeans from £19.75. I didn't buy one as they didn't have my size (12) they only did there're sizes in e.g 28, 30..

I decided to buy something but then again it was quite difficult finding things i liked in a hectic setting. I managed to find a top and i also bought some earring's which looked great.

I then went to Forever 21 two weeks later with my friend. Having been there before i wasn't really looking forward to it as i was disappointed with my last visit. However i was really impressed by this visit as the store had removed some of it's clutter and was less messy. I was able to see far more things which i liked on not only the First floor but also on the Second floor. There was less staff on hand and this seemed better for the store but i was still able to find one on any floor. I wasn't planning on buying anything but then i stumbled across some lovely earrings and a necklace. In total I paid £4.80, It was surprisingly cheap and it made me reconsider my previous thoughts on Forever 21.

Anyway If you found my comments about Forever 21 useful or have something to say about the store then comment or reply.
Thanks for reading
