I can't say many good things about Old Navy, their quality for women's clothing is absolutely appalling. The men's clothing does seem to be made a bit more durable, but the women's department is just...ugh.
I'm not afraid of a little color. Uniqlo's website has made it into my Delicious bookmarks and I may even take the train down to the City at some point to check out the store. It'd be a great excuse to hit up my favorite spot, 7A Cafe in East Village (bangin' omelettes).
I don't mean to sound like I'm singing it's praises, BTW, when I say that I've had decent luck with Old Navy. I'm fully aware that their quality is suspect for the most part and that their style is usually pretty garish and / or boring as well as geared toward the very young. But I'd be lying if I didn't tell you that I have a couple of jackets from there that don't look half bad (for what they are) and have held up surprisingly well as far as wear and tear goes. Perfectly, actually. And my two pairs of boot cut jeans look fabulous on me, fer realz. So that's why I don't feel that they should be completely written off. Now as to their stuff for women I'll just have to take your word for it, I wouldn't know.
...because without the bitter, baby, the sweet ain't as sweet.
