MNG ( mango ) at JCPenney - YouLookFab Forum

Maya, have you ever checked into their I HEART Ronson line ? It has gotten great write ups. People Style some had pieces that were really, really cute. There was a really great tweed fabric moto jacket in one issue that was just sooo great.

JC Penney doesn't usually exlcude clothing brands from coupons, so it would really surprise me if that did that in this case.

Thanks Isabel. I'm not much of a JCP shopper so I'm not sure what their policies are nor was I aware of the I <3 Ronson line. Off to check that out.

I am loving all the following:

Great picks! The sheer print blouse and black dress with lace sleeves are lovely. Also really dig the bold graphic sweater and the moto jacket.

OK...this could actually be bad....I am 20 years older than you and live in the middle of the woods and I want to dress like you, now !! Those picks are so FABULOUS !!!!!!!! I like everything. The blazer, the moto jacket, the sheer blouse with the twist, the.....well, everything ! The zig-zag shirt ! OMG!

( The reason you don't shop at JCP is because you don't shop for pots and pans and towels and sheets and old lady underwear that won't ride up, so on. I love JCP ! And what a wonderful treat with these new lines. )

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.

Khris, this isn't a derivative budget line. It's actual branded MNG.

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!

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.

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.

Isabel, thanks for posting this. JCP has been upping the fashion ante in recent years, and Mango (MNG) is a good example.

Vigoss, an excellent premium denim brand based in Istanbul, Turkey designs VGS jeans especially for JCP. They are FIERCE and under $30 a pair.

JCP also has Liz Claiborne - more conservative looks, Allan B. (Schwartz) - killer moto-style fashion and the forever clever Nicole Miller line. Fabulous!

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

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.

I don't find them juniors at all. Perception, I guess.

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!

And yes, they have great housewares and bedding!

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.

Maya - That dress looks a lot like one I know...

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.

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&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.

Thanks Bella I would like to try a few pieces but can not wear junior sizes and I am an online shopper.

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&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.

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.

Scarlet, I don't rule out ANY store! There are fashion gems awaiting discovery in places you would not ordinarily look.

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 ? "

OMG, look at this : http://www3.jcpenney.com/jcp/X.....atId=70660|70662

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 !
