I don't buy new clothes very often. When I do, it tends to be at discount-type places like Ross...or at Macy's or a similar department store when they are having a big sale...or at a thrift store.
Today I accompanied a friend to American Apparel, Urban Outfitters, and H&M. I know very little about these places except that:
American Apparel has a reputation for being sleazy (or at least the owner does) and supposedly the working conditions of the ppl who manufacture the clothes are actually not all they're cracked up to be, the store's ad claims notwithstanding
Urban Outfitters has been around since at least the early nineties. I bought a sweater there once. They sell little novelty-type impulse-buy books there in addition to clothing
H&M- I had never been to one before today. I'm still as confused as ever as to what that store is supposed to be about. I noticed that they had outfits hanging up on the walls that were made up of horribly clashing color-combinations. Also, it seemed very youth-oriented; like all of the clothing that they were selling seemed to be aimed towards teenagers.
Clue me in/give thoughts, opinions, etc.

You've probabaly been to a H&M Divided; that's the department that's more teenager-oriented.

haha, yeah. then afterwards i went into a Starbuck's. it was a weird day for me.
dell sounds mad disconnected
no way, man. i'm the originator of some of these "street styles" that some of these stores are trying to capture. heck, i've been wearing yellow and purple t-shirts forever.
