I very much like the tshirt, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted my money. I'm just saying I've been shopping at Penney's a lot over the last year, and find the quality as a whole can be iffy at times. That said, the prices are very inexpensive IMO, so I don't expect the item to last forever.</p> <p>I agree about the I &lt;3 Ronson line. I like it. I've found some ANA pieces that I like. The Olsenboye shoe line makes some cute designer knock-offs as well. I just like browsing through Penney's honestly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney/page/2#post-240978 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 13:18:34 +0000 Jonesy 240978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such an interesting thread! Like several of you, I have not set foot into a JCP in decades. It just reminds me of my childhood, and not in a good way! But, this new Mango line just might entice me into crossing the threshold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney/page/2#post-240965 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 12:32:15 +0000 Barbara 240965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One more factoid, ladies: I HEART Ronson is a line of clothing designed by Charlotte Ronson especially for JCP. Another good reason to go there!</p> <p>Isabel, I will continue to post. This is fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney/page/2#post-240855 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 03:27:05 +0000 annagybe 240855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I trolled the website but couldn't figure out what stores actually carry it. Would love to see in person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney/page/2#post-240848 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 02:54:55 +0000 Angie 240848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I meant to go see the MNG line in stores. Need to still do that! At one point (10 years ago) half my wardrobe came from MNG. I am still all over Spanish merchandise. Will report back soonest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney/page/2#post-240844 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 02:43:15 +0000 Isabel 240844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The great thing, for me personally, is that I am not looking for investment pieces. I have all my basics that have lasted me years and years. But I definitely want to look a bit more modern and have a little "splash" added. I really liked the stuff that Maya linked too and I am looking forward to mixing some in. Either way, options are always nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney/page/2#post-240813 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 01:45:24 +0000 Maya 240813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't judge the entire line from an inexpensive tshirt to be fair. Mango makes amazing jackets. </p> <p>Sure they're not couture quality, but why would anyone expect that? They're at least as good as Gap to me, and far more interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney/page/2#post-240616 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 19:30:10 +0000 chellebrate 240616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to agree with Khris. You do have to watch quality with JCPenney. I do shop there and have been happy with the quality for what I've paid for items (very inexpensive.)</p> <p>I actually have one shirt from the MNG line. <a href="http://www2.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?GrpTyp=PRD&#038;ItemID=19b470c&#038;Ntt=MNG&#038;pagesize=1&#038;Ne=840+4+877+878+5+961+6+29+3+598+11+15+12+506+10+23+585+596+1031+8+18+904+903+969+949+833&#038;hdnOnGo=true&#038;submit%20search.y=0&#038;SearchString=MNG&#038;submit%20search.x=0&#038;N=4294959029&#038;Nao=0&#038;SO=0&#038;PSO=0&#038;CmCatId=searchresults" rel="nofollow">http://www2.jcpenney.com/jcp/X.....rchresults</a></p> <p>It's thin and will likely not hold up for a long time, but for less than $10 I'm not going to complain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney/page/2#post-240602 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 19:07:53 +0000 shana 240602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I'm just getting old! Mango is definitely not juniors in an F21, Hot Topic way - I would say more of a twenty-something, young professional place as Bella says. In my mind, it is a step above H&amp;M - maybe a quarter step below Zara in terms of quality. Now that I am closer to 40 than 20, I am starting to call everything of that age bracket juniors!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney/page/2#post-240586 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 18:48:35 +0000 Isabel 240586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Airin, great to know, thank you !! It sounds to me that you are already modeling for them...you apparently wear their clothes well ! ( Besides, really tall, beautiful super-slim women are genetic freaks....that's why they get picked out from the rest of us and land on Sports Illustrated. )</p> <p>Barbara, Barabara....I so need a dose of cool and hip. I am feeling very conservative and staid. You have ridden in just in time. You MUST post !!!!! Anyone who lived in Europe for so long and can spot these great looks at JCP, needs to post, post, post .</p> <p>I don't know if you read Steph's post on finding pantaloons and an adult baby bonnet for a costume. Yup, I knew that the VT country store carries bloomers and cuddle caps for adults, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT RALPH LAUREN AND LIZ CLAIBORNE ARE AT JCPENNEY. I need to be demoted somehow... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney/page/2#post-240537 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 17:39:57 +0000 Irene 240537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Half of my wardrobe is from Mango. Many times everything I wear except for accessories and underwear is from that shop -and I mean jeans + top + coat. This is because MNG is the only shop I've found where pants actually fit without having to spend big quantities of money. Guess if I was taller, prettier and slimer I could model for them or something. I'm a truly MNG girl Happy you guys can enjoy it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney/page/2#post-240515 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 17:00:08 +0000 Barbara 240515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're welcome, Isabel. My style is very unique! I think living in Europe for 12 years changed me in many ways, especially in how I perceive style and fashion. I am fearless. </p> <p>I was a teen during the fantastic 70s and wore ALL those clothes. That was a REAL blessing style-wise, too. Like Kendall Farr said, "If you lived through the 70s, you don't need to be told what cool is."</p> <p>Angie has very politely requested photos from me and I'm working on it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney#post-240508 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 16:40:23 +0000 Isabel 240508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Barabara - I can't believe that this is going on so close to my house ! I want to run over there now. Coincidently, in the same magazine that I saw a couple of I heart Ronson and Mango, there was a killer "bandage" black dress by " American Living "....and I thought, " What the heck is American Living ? "</p> <p>OMG, look at this : <a href="http://www3.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?GrpTyp=PRD&#038;ItemID=1847b80&#038;DeptID=70660&#038;CatID=70662&#038;PCatID=70660&#038;SO=0&#038;CatSel=4294953014%7cdresses+%2b+skirts&#038;Ne=4294957900+598+5+23+3+29+585+596+593+1010+1011+1031+18+904+949+833&#038;CatTyp=RLE&#038;Dep=AMERICAN+LIVING&#038;N=4294953014&#038;Pcat=AMERICAN+LIVING&#038;Cat=womens&#038;Nao=0&#038;PSO=0&#038;CmCatId=70660" rel="nofollow">http://www3.jcpenney.com/jcp/X.....atId=70660</a>|70662</p> <p>After I read your description of your style, I am following you anywhere you take me and JC Penney is it . Oh I can't wait to go there.....or even just browse on line. I am so glad that I posted the start of this. Worked wonders for me ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney#post-240502 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 16:28:22 +0000 Barbara 240502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How could I forget! J C Penney also has a line of clothing and bedding called American Living. Designed by none other than RALPH LAUREN! Perfectly preppy AND affordable. I found some madras pieces that are fabulous - the plaids ARE bright, but delicate and not too big. </p> <p> Scarlet, I don't rule out ANY store! There are fashion gems awaiting discovery in places you would not ordinarily look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney#post-240480 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 15:20:26 +0000 Maya 240480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mango is very similar to and comparable to Zara in terms of quality, price point, and style. I'm really surprised anyone would describe them as juniors. I think of juniors as F21 or BP at Nordstrom. Truthfully I don't actually own anything from there, but whenever I go I'm actually surprised at the quality. It's definitely much better than H&amp;M and the detailing is amazing. Not too excessive as to be tacky and cheap, but not plain and dull either. I really should do more shopping there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney#post-240466 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 14:50:11 +0000 Reneeb 240466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Bella I would like to try a few pieces but can not wear junior sizes and I am an online shopper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney#post-240458 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 14:40:02 +0000 bella 240458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mango is not a junior brand in the sense that F21 or Charlotte Russe are junior brands. I would put it along the same lines as H&amp;M - college + young professional, but also lots of options for those who want to pick up pieces from this store in mix them up in more grown up outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney#post-240416 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 13:05:43 +0000 Dawn 240416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Mango, and their quality is superb. The line does look slightly different to what is available in European stores but they look fantastic. I particularly love Mango dresses and knitwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney#post-240356 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 06:06:26 +0000 Scarlet 240356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Barbara, it sounds like I need you to lead me through a JCPenney! You have that place figured out while I have been avoiding the store for years.</p> <p>Maya - That dress looks a lot like one I know... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney#post-240196 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 02:40:13 +0000 Sparky 240196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel, next meet-up we will make it all the way down the mall to JCPenney, okay? I had no idea either! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney#post-240195 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 02:38:58 +0000 Barbara 240195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Isabel, when I was a teen, I used to think JCP was an old lady store! They have come a LONG way and are very clever with marketing to the 20-60 year old demographic. I'm definitely over 35 and can always find fresh, modern, fun clothes there. Usually on sale. With coupons! </p> <p>And yes, they have great housewares and bedding! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney#post-240188 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 02:32:48 +0000 Isabel 240188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Barabra, I had no idea ! I gotta get my head out of pots and pans ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney#post-240169 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 02:23:26 +0000 Maya 240169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm team online. I don't have time during the week to go down to Soho and anyway, JCP has coupons out all the time. </p> <p>I don't find them juniors at all. Perception, I guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney#post-240166 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 02:21:20 +0000 shana 240166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember someone posted about this awhile back and I had totally forgotten about it! Penny's is really not on my radar (unless I need curtains!) so I haven't checked to see if our local store has this line. I'm curious - is this somehow different than the Mango merchandise in their stores? Maya, why wouldn't you just shop at the actual Mango store??? I usually pop into Mango when I am in Europe and it definitely has a very "juniors" feel to me (including the quality). I did like some of the stuff that Penelope Cruz designed for Mango a couple of years ago - I remember a gorgeous print dress that was sadly sold out in my size </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney#post-240165 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 02:20:33 +0000 Barbara 240165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel, thanks for posting this. JCP has been upping the fashion ante in recent years, and Mango (MNG) is a good example. </p> <p>Vigoss, an excellent premium denim brand based in Istanbul, Turkey designs VGS jeans especially for JCP. They are FIERCE and under $30 a pair. </p> <p>JCP also has Liz Claiborne - more conservative looks, Allan B. (Schwartz) - killer moto-style fashion and the forever clever Nicole Miller line. Fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney#post-240144 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 01:54:30 +0000 taylor 240144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had never heard of Mango before. This is new to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney#post-240143 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 01:52:09 +0000 Isabel 240143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Maya, it has nothing to do with grown up....you just have a real cool factor that unless I suddenly turn into Halle Berry or Iman, I just can't see happening !!! Though you bet I am going to try some of this stuff on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney#post-239740 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 14:30:52 +0000 chewyspaghetti 239740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know it is Maya- but some of the Ronson line is pretty cheap quality, too. Anytime it's a synthetic fiber- I want to feel and try it on first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney#post-239738 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 14:26:45 +0000 Maya 239738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, this isn't a derivative budget line. It's actual branded MNG.</p> <p>Isabel, I don't think most of what I post and what I wear is limited to my age bracket. I'm sure you could find more grown up ways to wear it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mng-mango-at-jcpenney#post-239720 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 14:10:45 +0000 chewyspaghetti 239720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the look of the line, unfortunately quality is hit and miss with JCP. It's one of the few local stores that I have, but my store didn't get the line. </p>
