H&M in Seattle - first impressions

I saw it. I shopped in it. And I quite like it. It occupies two floors in the new wing of Westfield mall and has all sections: women's, men's, baby/children's, maternity, accessories and lingerie...


From the perspective of an experienced "H&M shopper" the selection of clothes was not spectacular (at least the ones I liked) but let's attribute it to the "in between seasons" time... and let's be honest: H&M is not a "I like it all" store... It's more a "hunting ground" kind of a store - where one can find one good thing out of a thousand items...

Fortunately, accessories and basics are, as always, well equipped and very price competitive:-)

I ended up buying a black men's fedora, a scarf and several basic black t-shirts, and paid total of $35.00... a bargain.


Great thing to see was how packed the store was - although it was only 11:00am on a regular weekday... A tip: downstairs fitting rooms and registers are much less crowded - so pick your outfits and instead of waiting in endless queues upstairs take the escalator downstairs and you will be done in half the time...

One more thing: if you want to win a $50 gift certificate to H&M check out this site: http://www.nwsource.com/contests/ (Thanks for the scoops Jen!)

Did they have the line from Rei Kawabuko in stock yet? Did you like it? I will have to camp outside to see it.
