When your job is to spot emerging trends and show your fashion-conscious friends the seasonal must-haves of each brand, you need to be an open-minded shopper. Very rarely do I ignore a trend before trying it out for myself. But admittedly, I tend to shop in certain stores for certain items. Take & Other Stories for example. As soon as I crossed the threshold of it (either in real life or online), I knew I was going to bring one of two things: a blouse or an overcoat. jeans. Similar, Mangoes is my one-stop shop for shoes, while zara serve as my top pick for blazers. Underwear? Marks and Spencer. Wardrobe staples? Arket. And such.
The downside is that sometimes I’ll walk into a store blindfolded, looking for items I normally buy instead of picking up other things on sale. But recently I realized the mistake in my way. I’m totally a dress girl, and lately, all the long dresses I’ve admired have come from one place: COS.
