Review list of Green Parks topic
The inside has a natural style and I got an impression that I could relax in that space. There were many natural products such as green plants and vegetable aroma items. There are also sewing items and tableware that are recommended to housewives. It has new items regularly. Particularly, there were pretty Christmas tree decorations around Christmas time. They were glass angels and carefully made despite they weren't expensive, and I could feel the festive atmosphere even though I didn't have a Christmas tree.
This store is located on the first floor inside the mall, and they carry things from Earth music & ecology. The store was using warm looking wood, and it has realxing feel to it, and the store is spacious and easy to look. I might have an impression that Earth music & ecology is a brand for younger generation, but they also carried a bit sophisticated adult clothing in the corner and there were a lot of young housewives around 30s. I could not find anything I wanted, so I just enjoyed window shopping, but I got an impression that the store was easy to look around.
I was looking for Spring knitwear in nice colour as it was getting warmer. The inside was crowded and a few people were queuing up for the fitting rooms, but I could wait comfortably as the staff occasionally talked to me.
When I tried it on, she gave me some co-ordination ideas based on the clothes I normally wore. If I follow my own instinct, the co-ordinate would be more or less same as before, so I encouraged myself to try something different, going with her advice.
I bought a Mint Green jersey top and the all shop assistants were serving with smiles, I was more than happy with my shopping experience.
I'm not sure if they want to sell… It's like "help yourself". They didn't monitor stock available.
I went to sale. I bought a shirt, a one-piece, a cardigan, and pants. It was the first day on sale so it was pretty crowded. Salesclerks look calm, but the salesclerk who talked to me was not that nice. I bought a shirt and a one-piece with dot pattern, and she said "Aw. Is it ok ? They're both dot pattern. You must like the pattern a lot.". When I asked her about a cardigan, she said "it's your choice to make.". That was terrible. But still she followed me around and showed no smiles, which made me regret to walk in the shop. I bought the clothes because they're all cute, but I don't think I'm going there again.
Clothes designs are for woman at the age of 20's to 40's, and the shop has calm and cute atmosphere. There were 4 or 5 salesclerks, and the shop looked pretty busy. They all looked very busy because they were just having time sale. Anyway, the price showed 50% OFF already, but they became 20% more at the checkout. Therefore salesclerks could not afford to talk to each customer, and they were too busy to call in and checkout and tags' control. They looked so tense to me.
Particularly, a salesclerk who looks like a new face was upset clearly and ran around in the shop.
I'm sure that they were having time sale so that's why she was acting like that. I don't think she always acts with tense.
It's a shop near the entrance of APITA.
I feel the shop's target age range is teenagers and those in their 20's? however there are many clothes in natural style and you can find nice items if you search for them even if you are a housewife in your 40's. Sometimes they have a limited time sale and you can see further 30% off from the original discounted price of 50% off. If you aren't sure what to buy, shop assistant might give you some information about the limited time sale...
OZOC used to be a shop with other bands before AEON Ichino had the major refurbishment. I went there around 11am on the first day of new years sale and it was crowded with families and female customers in the whole AEON building, most shops had only a few lucky bags left and there were some brand shops whose bags were already sold out.
There were 2 bags from OZOC, one for 10,000yen and the other was 5,000yen, I bought the cheaper one after thinking for a while.
It was because the 5,000yen bag had a Black and White inner to, a no collar shirt, a Green pleated skirt and a Red scarf and I thought that was good enough.
Although it was my favourite brand, there were something I didn't like.
Then I came up with an idea, buying another bag at same price and contents from different brand, playing games with close friend (in my case, it was my sister I did with). I bought another bag from Green Park TOPIC which was totally different taste from OZOC which style was slightly older girls'. It had a pair of Blue Summer denim culottes, a Grey Summer T-shirt (tied up at the bottom), a check shirt style dress, a duffle coat and a shawl.
Get those 2 bags and divide the contents into categories like 'inner', 'outer', 'bottoms' and 'small items' then play a game you like and the winner gets a pick.
For instance, the skirt from OZOC bag and the culottes from TOPIC are going to 'bottoms' and compete with Karaoke, whoever gets the higher score will be a winner and entitled to choose one from 'bottoms' , in this case, either the skirt or ulottes.
Normally each lucky bag has 1 inner top,1 bottom and contain several small items so make up 'small items' combining similar ones such as 'pretty' or 'natural taste' and so on.
The important thing is to discuss when we divide them.
Specially for small items, if one of you feel 'this set is more useful' or 'this set looks more expensive', it will be unfair and you don't want play any game at that point.
Ideally buy those bags together.
In our case, OZOC bottom was Winter item while the TOPIC had Summer bottom looking cheaper, so I added a T-shirt and made a set to level the price range. Although we decide categories, you can amend the subsidiary rules. you can make a set of total co-ordinate.
The games should be something you can more or less equally play at similar level and you can enjoy.
We played Karaoke who'll get higher score. guessing how many minutes it would take to get to the certain place, the numbers of new year postcards and best of 3 goes in Rock, Paper and Scissors in the end.
You can enjoy your own lucky bag but it'll be double the enjoyment if you have someone to play towards.
How about giving it a try if you get board with same new year habit.
