maybe it’s just because i went from looking at steven alan’s new spring arrivals to checking out the latest at the gap, but i couldn’t help noticing some pretty striking ‘inspired by’ pieces in the gap’s spring line:
are you seeing it too? not that i’m complaining…i actually love that breezy plaid/floral thing, especially if you put them together – and layering contrasting patterns is going to be huge for spring. i can rarely afford to splurge on the real deal at steven alan, but most of the gap pieces are under $60. even better, this week you can score 25% off all new arrivals with code GAPNEW25 through sunday (2/21).
OK, I’ve checked it out, and the shirts pictured here seem to be good quality (for the Gap). However, the long-sleeved button-up floral shirts are in this itchy, cheap-feeling fabric, which is really disappointing.
oh, this bums me out! i’ve gotten that impression several times at the gap lately…i think they’ve opted to spend money on design instead of fabric, which sucks 🙁
