Is it all worth it?<\/p>\n

Dim lights and dark sights\u2026 does it sound like a horror film? Well no, it\u2019s not dracula. It\u2019s a store. Abercrombie is notorious for it\u2019s heavily perfumed, dimly lit outlets, and the unusual clothes sold there.<\/p>\n

Even more notorious than the clothes are their outrageous prices. A single jacket at Abercrombie may cost you your week\u2019s salary. The wrinkled brown jacket shown below this article is called the \u201cHaven\u201d and it costs $350! Will you see me<\/em> wearing that jacket? I don\u2019t think so. And that\u2019s not the only expensive item\u2026 the \u201cMia\u201d, the \u201cLucinda\u201d,and the \u201cJulia\u201d are also brown jackets priced at $350. The white handbag shown below just happens to be over $300, along with the \u201cPaker, Kori, Hannah, Banson, Lila, Lexi, Lacey, and Madeline\u201d which are handbags priced at over $300 as well. Don\u2019t even get me started about that $120 \u201cMallory\u201d skirt… and what\u2019s up with the $60 clearance items?<\/p>\n

Looking at the astonishing price tags, you would think that Abercrombie would have no customers at all, but walking down the halls of Wayland Middle School, I can\u2019t help but notice that Abercrombie seems to be what almost everyone<\/span> is wearing. Why<\/strong>? To find the answer, I asked the students themselves. \u201cThe clothes on sale<\/em> are perfectly priced, and really wonderfull. “Everyone should buy them!\u201d Says 6th<\/sup> grader LT. On the opposing side was AG, saying: \u201cIt\u2019s just an insult to Hollister, really. They have basically the same clothes, with very different prices.\u201d SM agreed, saying: \u201cEverything in the store is all the same color, and it doesn\u2019t change.\u201d<\/p>\n

To really find out everyone\u2019s true opinion, there was only one thing to do: a poll. In my poll I asked 20 WMS students \u201cDo you think Abercrombie clothes are really worth the price?\u201d The results of my survey were very surprising. A total of 16 student said \u2018no\u2019,and only 4 students said \u2018yes\u2019. Furthur proving the results of my poll were the comments I received. Such as:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an insult to nature. It\u2019s not bright and happy.\u201d -Anonymous\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cThey have some strange bags there. I like it, but honestly don\u2019t love it.\u201d \u2013PC<\/p>\n

So has reading this convinced you of anything? Or has it left you more confused then before? Well, looking at the results of my survey, I think that you can make the decision for yourself.<\/p>\n
