Forever 21 Adventure: Harajuku, Tokyo

Yesterday I took a much needed trip to Tokyo. I visited the fabulous Daikanyama and Harajuku for a Forever 21 adventure! It was even better than I expected. I thought that like H & M, it would be more expensive than in North America. I was wrong! It was so cheap! There are a total of five floors, each one better than the last. They even have an entire floor devoted to Men's wear. Each floor features high ceilings, fabulous displays and racks and racks of inexpensive clothes!

I went at around seven o'clock at night and it was still extremely packed. The store has been open for about a month now and they still have the red rope out the front. Apparently, there are still crazy line ups throughout the day. I was lucky there was no line! I managed to pick up a few things, all under fifteen dollars! It was a great adventure and nice to know that I can still find cheap clothes, even in Japan. Nothing beats thrifting though :) After the chaotic mayhem inside Forever 21, I walked by H & M and there was barely anyone inside! It was actually kind of sad. It would be hard to compete with Forever 21. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out once everyone gets used to having Forever 21 in town.

Forever 21

First floor chaos!

Accessories galore!

Can you imagine trying to keep this store in order?
As you can see from this pile of yellow sweaters..
everyone was throwing things around and up in
the air. FUN!

One of the second floor featured yellow
floral wallpaper. It was really fun but
it didn't really match the theme of the
rest of the store.

I could not imagine visiting this store in the daytime.

Shoes, shoes glorious cheap shoes!

Basement floor.

Loved this display.

It was dark by the time I left. Only an hour
inside though..not bad!

Poor H & M. Will have to pay a visit
next time!
