Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

I'll be the first to admit it;I'm a sucker for fast fashion. Quality concerns be damned--H&M is almost godsent in a vast mob of tasteless mall stores. So I'm always happy to see a chain store expand its horizons. After Gap became the new old place to shop this season, it looks like there's another one hot on its heels.

And I have to say, I'm reasonably impressed! They're not quite replacing H&M and Gap, but as they say Rome wasn't built in a day. Naturally I'm more impressed by the womenswear.
