Express and Limited are both upping prices - however, at least at Limited, there's been an increase in quality as well.

Agreed. I love the Limited store. Although I miss the day when they sold jeans-I still have a great pair of Limited jeans. 
Limited has great & affordable clothes that are work appropriate.

They do still sell jeans - both the Tierney and the Drew fits come in denim.

My favorite one is when they have a sale on blouses for $29.95...and you find out that the blouse you picked isn't really on sale eventhough it is on or by the sales rack!
As for style...I LOVE their clothes. Gap, Bannana Republic, Lerners, Limited, etc. is a little too conservative for me. Places like Forever21 is a "cheap ho-bag" skanky store. Express' style is the happy medium.

1. Rave
2. G+G

Speaking of skanky stores does anyone remember that store called 5-7-9, from a way long time ago.
I remembered their clothes were always really ugly and stuff my mom would never ever wear. No wonder it went out of business, the clothes were awful.

I've never heard of 5-7-9 but it makes me think of the store 1-3-5 from Mean Girls. The store that carried stuff only in sizes 1, 3, and 5.

LOL, actually Edison Brothers (who also owned Coda, Leeds, and JW) went bankrupt. Probably because no one wanted to look either a) ghetto fab or b) a skank anymore. 
I tended to stay away from Charlotte Russe because their clothes were the same quality as Forever21 even though they were pricier. They had cute dresses, though...and I got a nice jumpsuit and robe I wore to formal.

we had a 5-7-9 in our mall (which says a lot about our town.....we have charlotte russe, wet seal, forever 21, Rave, all that fun stuff) but i dont think its open anymore. our express is right next to 5-7-9, and last time i was there, they were closed
speaking on The Limited, omg it's my favorite store ever! Express is starting to grow on me, especially now that they carry more classy clothes. but i agree about the prices going up. i was surprised to find sweaters for $60 in there that weren't worth more than $30.

There really was a 1-3-5, I used to shop at it when I was a teenager in Houston.
The girls and I were at Express yesterday--but only briefly--because:
1.There was nothing, but nothing, that anybody even wanted to try on. They used to LIVE in Express.
2.The store was blasting Christmas music--what was yesterday, October 23?--so loudly that it literally hurt our ears.
