Trip To South Coast Plaza With PSAs

[deveandepot1]

Yesterday I took a sick day off at work (If they ask I had violent diarrhea) and took my gf to South Coast Plaza.
Here is the results and PSA's

Banana Republic- BR Monogram Polos for 25 dollars each. Originally 70+ plus. We bought We bought 20 Smalls and Mediums (Only 5 for me, The rest for friends and family as gifts).

Club Monaco- Cheap raw jeans in big sizes. A great blue and white check car coat for $35, Originallly 150. Nothing else amazing on sale for men though. My GF found some great deals though.

Zara- Nothing great on sale, but as always their quality to price is much better than H&M. Their new "Super Slim Ts" are the highest quality ten dollar shirts I have ever seen. I am a small in both AAs, Armani undershirts, but a medium fits almost too tight. I am tall so having a shirt with the right length was a blessing. I bought one in every color.

Barneys Co-Op- Nothing on sale. I went to Cabazon Outlets a couple months ago and I found the same items for 1/3 the price.

J Crew- This store made me sick. They had no items I wanted from online, and they were selling full price items from as far back as 2005! The only thing on sale was some amazing vintage looking belts from 20-35.

Macys- The only thing that interested me was some Ben Sherman shirts, sweaters, and polos for
1/2+ off.

Nordstom- Nothing on sale I liked, but they have some amazing looking Sperry and Chucks for full retail. I would have bought some, but Nordstrom shoes almost always end up at the Rack by my house for less than half.

Saks- Nothing at full price or sale I would buy.

Theory- I love this store. They had RandB jeans, and Cps. They had some reasonable sale item, but again I saw this stuff at the Cabazon outlets for almost a 1/4 the price.

Ted Baker- Nothing on sale, but some of the shoes looked great.

Gap- I usually hate the Gap, but from the window I saw some jeans. I went in and checked the quality. For the price I liked them. The only problem is they are too thin (they are closer in thickness to pants than jeans).

The Cafe on the 1st floor(I forgot the name)- Best tasting yogurt/coffee/tea me and my gf have had since living in Europe.

The Toy Store- Some vintage looking Yo-Yos. I bought ten (Only 1 for myself, the rest will be gifts)

Every other store I went into (Bloomingdales, Allen Edmonds, Polo,..) Had nothing in normal people sizes on sale or was too expensive at full retail.

I hope that helps my Socal Friends.

^They do, it's just that their selection is pretty limited.

It is funny because I looked through the store window didn't see a mens section so I left my GF to go check the B Republic. My GF looked around for herself and found the men's section hidden in a small corner in the back.

Thanks for the PSA. It seems like good sales have been hard to come by lately.

I was there last night and didn't really find anything at all. I dont even bother going into zara or the gap at all. Bloomingdales is pretty boring now and have weird sizes like you said. Jcrew has the men section back but its limited and boring, Jcrew really doesn't peak my interest anymore

Club Monaco as said has a ridiclous price for its stuff What can I say is that South Coast has gotten pretty boring with the mens stuff. Or I'm being too picky. I remember coming home with like 5 bags of stuff before. BUt ill still keep on going

Oiriginal poster must have spent half a day there! The place is sure big enough.

Two things:


1) south coast i can go there and find a few good deals on men's clothing. not streetwear. the mall caters more to that genre.

2) you guys are going there between sale seasons. there is nothing really there right now you got to go around holidays/after new years
and
during june/july
