I assume the “bug” was the fashion bug? lol I wish I liked clothes more but I just don’t get it. I see pictures (on here) and I’m like damn that’s cool but I could never. I’m sure my wife appreciates me not catching that bug because I’m a very addictive person by nature so I would be all in.
I just glanced at it but I’m for sure going to read it now. It seems interesting.
I agree about the stores you mentioned being all in the same tier though. The closest Uniqlo to me is 100+ miles away so I only own two things from there but I like them both. It’s just not convenient to go there. I’ve got a Gap between my home and work so I’m glad they worked out for me and I was able to find what seems to be the hidden gem for me.
