Ladies-Where Do you Clothes Shop?

[sweetpeakaris]

I have lost 95lbs and counting, I will need some new clothes for my upcoming Disney trip. It's been a long time since I have been a size 10/12 and I don't know where to shop for new clothes that are Stylish and don't cost a fortune. I would pay up to $50 for bottoms and $30-$40 for Tops. I really like stores that have frequent Coupons or good sales! I don't like Discount Stores like TJMaxx, Ross, etc. as I am too impatient to look through the stuff. Any advice on where I can find Nice Quality, Stylish, Cute Clothes would be great. I am 31 and a SAHM, so I don't need anything that is very Dressy, but I do like to dress Business Casual, a little Sexy, as well as everyday clothes.

I have not bought any new clothes since my weightloss, so you can imagine how I have been walking around looking these days with huge clothes on, lol! I'm really excited to go shopping!!

Thanks in Advance!

My favorite store is Talbots, and by shopping sales and the outlet you can get some great deals. However, I'm about 20 years older than you.

Congrats on your weight loss.

I have recently started shopping at Ann Taylor Loft. Lots of choices and if you can hit the 50% off the sale racks you can get great deals.

Christopher and Banks is another favorite of mine. I also like the choices at JCPenney.

90% of my wardrobe is Ann Taylor Loft. I find their stuff affordable (they have GREAT sales), classic, fit well, and last for seasons. I typically pick up suits or dressier business clothes at The Limited (also have great sales and coupons).

If you want cheaper stuff, try NY&Co. I find their quality is pretty stinky but if you can find their stuff 50% off, it's worth the money. I am wearing one of their sweaters today and bought it for about $15.

I'm your age

Congrats on the weight loss!!

MACY's - they have great sales..i love INC shirts which go for about 50-60 each i always buy on sales and get shirts for about 20.00 - just went this weekend to pick up some sweaters - got 3 for about 50 bucks!

Congratulations on the weight loss! That's wonderful!!!!


I'm 31 as well - I actually do a ton of my shopping at Target - they always have very stylish tops that are budget friendly. They also have great shoes! (And my bras come from there, too!!!) My younger sister gets her jeans at Target (I can't, because I require a "long") and they always look great! They also have super cute dresses (I'm a teacher, and I wear a TON of dresses!)

I have bought jeans at GAP since I was in high school - I really like their "long and lean" jeans (don't let the name scare you!). I also have gotten a couple pairs of jeans at Old Navy - but you have to watch their quality. I sometimes get Levis at Macy's, too...

Have fun - it's always great to shop for new clothes!

Congratulations on your weight loss. I like Kohls, Macys, and Talbots. Look for sale racks and coupons.

I am a big internet shopper. I love Lands End and LLbean. You can find some good sales and I like the quality. I also have luck at Macy when I shop the sales. Carsons is another store that has great sales. Congrats on the weight lose and happy shopping!

Congrats on the weight loss......the rides at Disney will feel so much different at the lower weight (I lost about half what you did last year)

Thinking about MI...

I would say check out a Sears with a LandsEnd to try on some of their styles. I got a great skirt there not too long ago. I buy a good amount from them online, LLBean too.

Macy's is okay, but their quality can be low in their house brand. There are coupons galore, so I never buy there without. I find Ralph Lauren pants fit me the best, but for tops I am flexible.

If you are near Michigan City, IN (the Lighthouse Outlets) they have a ton of good stores including Hannah Andersson which can have really cute clothes for mom's too, not just kids. I also scored some rocking Burberry cords last year for like $10.

I too like Talbots, Ann Taylor, just depending upon what I need.

Another good place to shop is Nordstroms or Von Maur.

My suggestion to you (since you need everything) is to go and get fit at one of the better department stores for a bra. Once you have your fitted bra, to then go out and shop. I think it will allow you to have the best idea of what styles will be best for you.

Once again congrats on the weight loss

I'm 38 and I buy my clothes at Target, WalMart or Aeropostale. I also buy them online at Body Central.com, those are more dressy outfits tho, for everyday it's normally the other 3.

Congrats on your weight loss, that's a GREAT accomplishment!

Ann Taylor Loft - They have great prices, and styles a little younger than Ann Taylor. Congratulations on your weight loss!!!

Congrats on your weight loss! I'm about your size and age (33) and mostly a SAHM, and I love LL Bean, Lands End, and Gap. Probably the majority of my clothes are from those 3 places; I don't shop much as the quality is so good that it lasts and lasts. Once you know your size in LL Bean and Lands End, you can probably shop online as well, and usually get free shipping. Enjoy shopping!

My girlfriend is 33 and wears a lot of cute clothes. I know most of her clothes come from Old Navy. I like the things she wears. They're pretty nice and she says they hardly cost anything at Old Navy.

Congradulations. That is awesome. My favorite place is Kohls.

 

[threeboysmom]

I buy 99% of my clothes through Ann Taylor and Ann Taylor Loft. Absolutely LOVE everything in those stores, and their clothing all fits so well and looks so stylish. I pay a lot there (maybe I'm too impatient to wait for sales), but the clothes to me are well worth it.

 

[Heather1101]

My favorite stores are: Kohl's, Target, JCPenny, Old Navy, and Macy's.

I also love Ann Taylor Loft. I need petite pants most of the time and they have a good selection. I was sad when they closed the store closest to me and I haven't been to one in ages. I also like Macy's and Kohl's for tops.
Congrats on the weight loss. I am just starting mine and and I am really looking forward to getting back into my Ann Taylor pants I bought a couple of years ago.

Lands End....my favorite.

Their stuff looks great - wash after wash.

 

[neatokimmo]

I can wear casual stuff to work and I shop at Old Navy. Get their credit card, you'll get lots of coupons from them.

 

[skw444]

I'm another one that loves Ann Taylor Loft. Stylish clothes, good quality and when you buy on sale, great prices. I also like Macy's...with coupons and sales, you can find some great deals. H&M has stylish clothes and great prices as well. And for more casual, Old Navy has some cute clothes.
