Though Lee is familiar with Club Monaco and likes its clothing lines, she said she doesn't see the new store replacing Express's place in her closet.
In fact, Lee said she went to Express at the Cambridgeside Galleria last weekend and bought a sweater, a pair of pants and a fleece.
Of Club Monaco, she said, "I'll probably browse there more than I'll shop, because my budget won't allow it," Lee said.

Adidas moved in last year, replacing the century-old Square music store Briggs & Briggs, and a Sprint telephone store is scheduled to replace neighborhood market Sage's, which closed last spring.
Staples occupies two floors in the Crimson Galleria, replacing a Swatch watch store and a downstairs space that used to house the Sony Janus movie theater. The store carries a range of office items, from notebooks and pencils to cellular phones and computer games.
