Admission: I love bargains! For most items, I feel that unless the clothes are being made in Italy, you are ending up with the same quality, so why pay an arm and leg to cover your arm and legs? If I am going to spend a pretty penny, I want to go big or understand the value. The shopping experience and selection at Topshop is fun and stylish if you enjoy UK chic, but I found myself circling like a vulture and simply spying on price tags. Everything was about 2 to 3 times more than I anticipated, so I decided to leave without a shiny new item this time. For example, some Tom-inspired shoes displayed on plastic hangers (not in boxes) were around $50. Here is a case where I'd rather get the Toms for a little more and do a little good in the process. I will probably head back to see if there are sales that make some of their items look more "must have" when discounted.
