Welcome all to Saby's 2 Cents!
I like to live life, and in the process I tend to discover great restaurants, make- up, clothing designers, and basically just cool junk. Don't get me wrong I have no problem ripping into things that suck and I am more than happy to share these things with you. You may get something out of this today, you may not...No worries! I'm here to share!
So today was a beautiful day in Soho NYC, perfect for brunch and just walking around shopping. I had my first experience with a clothing store called Ariztia NYC. A pal o' mine was just so pumped up to go there so we went to check it out. First off..... REALLY?.....this place was all about a sale meanwhile, the clothing there was ridiculously too high priced for a "Sale". A sheer blouse that looked like a potato sack was $115 bucks! I would not pay more than $25. There also happened to be signs posted everywhere that all sale items are final! that sucked, it was a bit of a turn off... The clothing there was not bells and whistles. The styles happen to be loose, flowing, sheer, and shift type garbs. That's great if you wanted to look like a shapeless old fart (I'm apologizing in advance to my friend that bought stuff there today, she happened to get something normal). I noticed they had catalogues on the little waiting tables by the fitting rooms to show how some of the clothing was featured in popular magazines. Nice advertising or a bit to presumptuous? I saw some the items listed, for example there was a camisole. It was displayed in a popular fashion magazine along side other camisoles that were prettier and frankly cheaper. I will say that I did see a couple of nice blouses here and there, but they did not have the power to make me want to go try shit on, forget about going into my wallet! I saw they carried Citizens of Humanity brand jeans (which I happen to own quite a few pairs of.. ), priced at $175 an up and that's normal for that brand, it just didn't seem like the jeans fit in that store. I happen like designer things like that but since the store itself just didn't do it for me, I had to walk away!
So in a nutshell folks... I didn't see the fascination with this store, maybe they should lower the prices and get more fitted things. Until next time....
