Completely different setting/era but I was a loyal Jack Wills girlie as a teen (i.e. when One Direction members started appearing in hoodies that proudly proclaim JW)—their preppy dresses and tops were perfect and made with actually decent material (not like Abercrombie or Hollister!) and I've worn some of them for 10+ years. They still exist in some form in the UK but does cheap quality asos/shein-style things now. Huuuuuge shame.

Anyway hi from across the pond!!

i miss the mall too. but, i think the main gripe w/ mall brands is that the quality of the garments (cut + fabric) has gone done while the cost has gone up. personally, i don't really think gap will be revitalized 🙈

i’d be so loyal if they didn’t change up the production for bigger profit margins

London has spoiled me as well, but the odd thing is everyone I talk to is OBSESSED with the concept of diner coffee so even if I have to add two hazelnut creamers dammit I’m proud of my roots!
