What is your favorite store to shop for clothes?

I love Express! Ooooh I just love their clothes. I like the music they play in there too.

BTW, have you guys noticed that the eighties style is so coming back? Like skinny jeans and pants with over sized shirts?

Ann Taylor, hands down! Banana Republic a cool second

This is going to sound funny, but I've always had good luck shopping at J.C. Penney's. They always have nice clothes there.

I also shop out of catalogs a lot: Chadwicks, Willow Ridge, Bedford Fair. They have some nice clothes in there at decent prices.

Irish Diplomacy: The art of telling someone to go to hell, and having them look forward to the trip.

My give a damn is busted.

JCPenny's does have a great selection of clothing especially if you have kids .

I'm a big fan of the clearance racks at Macy's and Dillards. I'm also an internet shopping freak, so I get alot there also.

This may surprise a few people but I hate to shop for clothes. I absolutely hate it. Actually, I hate shopping in general.

That being said, I prefer:

Urban Outfitters
Urban Body
Bluefly.com <--pricey clothes at last season prices.
Hollister Co. : Their jeans make your ass look good, but heir printed shirts are cheaply made. Go with Old Navy if you want cheap printer shirts. At least Old Navy's prices are cheap, thanks to Saipan Garment worker sweat shops and Tom Delay.

Finally, I like the Ellenton Factory outlet 30 minutes south where I live.


Trust me folks, I hate to shop, but these places are nice bargain places to shop.

Nordstrom

Thrift stores!

I also like Old Navy for the basics... sometimes. But now, through my job, I can a lot of my clothes for half wholesale prices.

Oh yeah...and at Express the sales people are actually nice! Really...they are so helpful and not snotty.

Also I'm not gonna lie...I love getting clothes from Target! Do you know how many items I've gotten from that place and people are like "Oooh where did you get that???" I got this yellow jacket from there that cost like thirty bucks...everytime I wear it I get someone like "AHH that is so cool! Where did you get that?" I'm like Target...they are all .

Yeah Target's great for stuff that's pretty low-priced and still looks like you paid more for it...

My absolute favorite place to shop for clothes has to be Victoria's Secret...no seriously.

The Marshall Fields clearance racks have been very kind to me.

Value Village

I'm diggin' Bluefly lately for shirts, the SweetPea stuff is killin' me

Victoria's Secret usually has one item per catalogue that I just LOVE, all but the pants (they fit funny)...

Express isn't as good as it used to be but I still hit them for shirts/sweaters especially if I have somewhere to go...

Macy's & Nordstrom for whatever, but mainly coats & jackets

Urban Outfitters has the occassional cute item but I don't like their policies, they're always selling some incredibly racist shit... Abercrombie & Fitch has some cute jeans & pants, but I always get treated like shit there & that bugs me, I don't go anymore...

I'm tall so I tend to go w/ Alloy or Delias for pants (not jeans usually). They have inseams from 34" - 37"!!! I love knowing there are jeans that are too long for me

I'm trying to back off from this designer jeans thing but the pockets are so damn cute! Thinking about a pair of Taverniti So jeans but I swear I'm trying to resist

Ann Taylor is good for classic pieces, as is Banana Republic & J. Crew but I rarely dress like that. I like stuff that's relaxed & not too fussy looking, like I wouldn't mind sitting on the floor in it. I gotta be cozy...

They've sold racist board games, racist T-shirts. People have to boycott them to get them to stop. It's pretty shitty...

what! how do they get away with that?

it is truly amazing you can buy completely new stuff for $2, kids clothes and shoes especially - my son has the coolest converse sneakers $5, stickers still on the soles!

It's insane, I would never pay full price for anything. My sister is a genious at finding good bargains, she spends very little and her whole family looks like the GotRocks.

I guess the people who stock the shelves & make the decisions have no conscience about stuff like that. So it seems to take a boycott from a minority group to get it stopped. & even then I'm not sure it stops completely, they may just pull the item for a while. It's pretty sad, I guess most of their shoppers think it's harmless or funny

Holt Renfrew
Club Monaco
Tristan & America
Jacob

express
carson pirie scott
tj maxx and filene's basement
the Levi's store at downtown chicago

TJ Maxx, Ross, and Marshalls..all discount stores but I love 'em..I pretty much refuse to buy anything unless its discounted or on sale...every now and then I'll pay full retail for something but its rare..when I do, its usually at a surf or skate shop...High tide (local shop), Pac Sun, Outter Limits, etc...
