What to Buy and Where to Get It

I don't know about you guys but I absolutely love to try out and make new outfits! But I also know that it can be quite difficult to put together certain pieces; especially when you have a limited budget or closet. Here is a list of stores that I wrote about for the good and bad qualities. I hope you find it useful! Because you are beautiful! XO- couturequeeen

FOREVER21
All of you probably know this fashionable store. You probably also know that the prices are most likely the cheapest you will find in your local mall for teen clothing. Whenever I come here, in my opinion, shorts and skirts are much more stylish then the tops and dresses. I have found high wasted shorts and floral skirts that I am so excited to wear and am obsessed with. The shoes are also unique, but cute and come at a relatively good price.
Pros
-inexpensive
-stylish (for the most part)
-huge amount of variety
-very accessible (in almost every mall) 
-constant sales or clearances

Cons
-Some pieces are questionable
-some fabrics tear and produce holes easily
-everyone shops there, it's hard to find
something not everyone already has
-crowded fitting room/lines

brandy melville  
Before last year, hardly anyone knew what Brandy was. Now, their store couldn't be more popular. The store provides a vintage/edgy style of clothing combining floral patterns with modern slang. This store for me is where I would go to get tops to pair with simple bottoms like jeans or plain skirts. I've wanted to get rings for the longest time but haven't gotten around to it. I've seen several of their rings and am in love!
Pros
-Adorable clothing and accessories
-large variety of styles and clothing
-thin fabrics perfect for Summer weather.
-no other store has same style.

Cons
-some items can be quite expensive
-extremely crowded with long lines
-limited stores in certain area
-many people shop their making it difficult
to find unique items
-fabrics are thin causing tears
-jewelry is cheap
-one size fits all
 
FOREIGN EXCHANGE
Foreign Exchange is the store that not many people know about, but when they shop in it, like the clothing and style. Whenever I go in, I swear I end up with something when I walk out. The clothing is an indie combined chic look that provides an equal amount of both varieties. The store has anything from camos to florals!
Pros
-inexpensive
-cute clothing
-large variety of styles
-never crowded or long lines
-constant sales
-discount with student ID

Cons
-some fabrics are very thin
-selected pieces often don't come in
many sizes


So I hope you found this post helpful and these are just a few of my favorite stores. These are just my opinions so if you disagree that's totally up to you. Thanks for reading!
