On sale at Old Navy: Cool clothes for identical zombies Response
The article, "On sale at Old Navy: Cool clothes for identical zombies", can be summarized for me with one word, wow. After reading this article i think that the writer and the people he quoted were absolutely right. We go into these stores and buy so much, but then as soon as something falls apart we go back to replace it. Then as soon as someone says cute top, where did you get it, you say oh its from old navy. Or someone says i have the same shirt, did u get it from old navy? We buy clothes and we start to look the same, dress the same. We lose our individuality. They may offer clothes for cheap, and try to be Calvin Klein and people like that but what are they really doing? They are just trying to beat Klein and have lots of people buy from them, they want to be just as famous as Klein, and they are well on their way. I for one have only shopped at old navy once and i bought a scarf that i never wear. However, my aunt shops there constantly as does her daughter, they think they have the best clothes and the best deals, which isn't necessarily true. My aunt has so many clothes she doesn't know what to do with them, she thinks "oh this is on sale, a good deal, i want this or i need this." this leads to her over-consumption of goods she doesn't actually need, nor do i ever see her wearing. So i am in complete agreement with the author, these places just trick you into buying things and lead to over-consumption.
