an ode to american eagle

I really ought to give good, old AE more credit. I tend to categorize it in the group of stores I worshiped as a preteen because I thought it meant "cool." It was one of those stores that I tended to accumulate multiple graphic tees from simply because they were the only things I could afford on my twenty dollar shopping limit.

But unlike Hollister and Abercrombie & Fitch (two stores, which thankfully I have outgrown, save for the random sweatshirt or cute tank top), I still find myself loving American Eagle. It tends to make it on my stores to stop by when I'm at the mall, and I always find something I adore--usually for cheap. My current favorite jacket? My new polka dot tights? My favorite sweaters? My favorite sandals? Nearly half of my jewelry collection? All from AE.

So, sorry American Eagle, for not appreciating you more. Because I can honestly say you are one of my favorite stores, and I cannot wait until your spring collection goes on sale =)
