Lovers of Forever 21 and H&M rejoice; the next big name in fast fashion has arrived in Boston! Primark, an Irish-based retailer, has just opened its’ doors in Downtown Crossing. The store boasts low prices (we are talking $7 skinny jeans), and on-trend fashions. The beautiful new 4-story store is quite possibly heaven on earth for fashionable students on a college budget

I had my first Primark experience earlier this week, and am now an avid fan. Immediately upon entering the store, I was handed a bag to fill with my prospective purchases. It was almost like they knew me and my habit of bringing 10+ items into the dressing room. Initially, was excited by a first floor filled with beautiful knits in rich fall colors. Even more exciting, all of them were marked under $25.

Taking the elevator up to the next floor, I browsed my way through a basics section that rivaled H&Ms, and found colored skinny jeans marked for $7. Dreams do come true.

The third floor was split in half. One half contained business clothes for affordable prices, ($8 dress pants), while the other housed an accessories department like no other. Hundreds of different jewelry designs filled rack after rack, while scarves hung beautifully from their hangers, and shoes filled aisle after aisle. The options were endless, but everything was well organized and shoppable.

The fourth floor housed children clothes and housewares, all of which matched the beautiful yet low price theme of the store.

Overall, my Primark experience was a success! I highly recommend it to anyone who loves fashion, but, quoting Macklemore, thinks spending $60 on a tshirt is some ignorant… stuff. I left spending less than $30, with a bag full of beautiful clothes and new style inspirations from their beautifully dressed mannequins. Why can’t all of my shopping trips end this way?
