Work (office) clothes: J-crew. Everything is classic cut, they do a great blazer, lots of great work appropriate dresses, skirts, dress shirts etc..

Regular casual clothes (v-neck tshirts, leggings, socks) and jeans: GAP Lots of well made classic items that fit well and don't change. Their favorite v-neck tees have been part of my wardrobe since I was like 16 lol

Day dresses: ModCloth It's online, so many choices..lots of amazing pretty day dresses that are very well made.

Undies: Victoria's secret Not because I like the company (because I don't) but at 6 for $25 it just works. Lots of great cuts (their boyshort and yoga no show undies are awesome) and they hold up.

Bras: Nordstrom They ACTUALLY measure you the proper way and find a bra that works! Plus so many styles.

Formal Dresses: Modcloth, ASOS Both are online, both have awesome return policies and great dresses plus they aren't popular so very small chance of someone wearing the same dress as you

Work-out clothes (sports leggings, sneakers, sports bra): Nike mostly but old navy has some great lower price items

Fad items, one-time-use items (dresses to wear to clubs or places with sweaty dancing and spilled drinks), cute socks just EXTRAS: Forever 21 or H&M The prices are RIGHT lol they have just about everything and it's a great store to "try out" a style you aren't sure about yet. The quality is a hit or a miss.

Coats, winter stuff ColumbiaThey have never steered me wrong, great warranties, great prices.

Jeans can only come from Delias since I have yet to find another brand that fits as well.

Everything else? Eh... Rue 21, Target, Hollister if I'm looking for something specific. I mostly just wear t-shirts on weekends though lol. And scrubs for work so that's easy.

It depends. I don't really shop a lot for myself unfortunately.

Jeans are typically from Buckle (in the mall). I like their Silver jeans, Big Star and Miss Me. I'm very picky with my jeans, so I'm willing to spend good $$$ on them. Most of their jeans are $90+. Actually, I like Buckle for everything, but I can't ever get myself to spend over $50 for a t-shirt.

I've always had luck at Target and Kohls.

Shoes are either amazon or Lady Foot Locker, and there's outlet malls near my dads house, that have a few different shoe stores that I like.

After reading through a few other replies, I realized I do most of my shopping online at underarmour.com and only go to the mall stores for jeans and "nice" shirts. Most of my clothes and shoes are athletic wear; I work with dogs and live with dogs after all! :lol-sign:

I still can't find a good place for jeans :( American Eagle and Hollister jeans fit me weird, and I don't like the shape, fit, or material of Forever 21 jeans.

Luckily, I virtually never wear jeans, but I'd still like a pair of perfect jeans.

I forgot Nordstrom!! All of my favorite bras are from Nordstrom. I'm cheap and can't spend too much on bras, but I still find such a huge selection of adorable, pretty, and sexy bras there for a price I can afford.

Rag and Bone. Problem solved.

Yes, their jeans are in the ~$220-$300 range. Yes, they're totally worth it. All of my jeans are R&G or Diesel. The fit is impeccable and they will last for YEARS. If you can ever score a pair or two you won't have to buy another pair for probably 5 years.

It's really hard for me to find jeans, too...I have one pair I bought at Pac Sun in high school that's lasted all the while (probably going on 10 years now!)...the other pac sun jeans have since worn away to nothingness.

Otherwise, I get them at Express, or Levis. I have one pair from H&M but don't usually get that lucky there.

I shop a lot at Eddie Bauer and the Gap. Now that I lost weight, I adore the sweaters at Victoria Secrets. So comfortable.

You can't put a price tag on an ass that actually doesn't sag. Plus, if it lasts over the years, it's really just spending $40 - $60 a year on really nice jeans, which is less than I spend already on jeans I never wear. My two favorites are both $187.

And seriously... no more saggy butts??! Now I need this. Hate you and your nice clothes and logic.

I get my work clothes (suits and whatnot) at Express, The Limited, Banana Republic, or J. Crew. Sometimes Khols.

My casual clothes I do from the Gap or Target.

I usually spend a fair amount of clothes because I buy quality, classic cuts and colors, and only things that I LOVE.

Hell, it was Lance who convinced me this logic was sound. I usually balk at spending a lot on clothing with dresses and sometimes shoes being the exception, but after my first pair of R&B's I was convinced. Dat ass don't lie.

Walmart, Kmart, DAV/Goodwill, Target, etc. Mostly Kmart because spring and fall they have ALL THE SALES and I can get dress pants and jeans for $2-$5 each.

Shoes - VFFs online from whatever store has them on sale when I need them, everything else from Walmart or the like.

Goodwill/thrift stores for the majority of clothing. I find the most awesome deals there - this week I bought seven pairs of jeans, three t-shirts, three track/running shorts, and a skirt for like $25. Awesome.

Undergarments I'll usually buy at Target or Wal-Mart, I'm really not picky. I try to go when they're having some sort of sale.

Shoes I'll buy at Wal-Mart, Target, Pay-Less, whatever. I have a $50/pair limit on shoes, and when I find comfy work shoes I buy an additional couple pairs and then I have shoes for a year!

We have to wear logo'd stuff for work, and its ridiculously expensive. I could get like five Goodwill t-shirts for what one work shirt costs.

The Limited.

Oh gosh, I love that store. Everything actually fits. Everywhere else expects professional women to have boobs and hips. I don't have them, but the smaller limited sizes fit my body. I buy everything there--work dresses, semi-dressy tops, and jeans.

Once in a blue moon I'll find something elsewhere, but really that's the only store I am continually successful in.

Jeans: Usually Delia's, simply for the fact that I can actually find them in my length IN the store and I don't have to get them tailored. I have a 26ish inseam, so even most "short" length jeans are too long. (Most short length are 30 inches.) If I find a pair that work elsewhere though, I will snatch them up.

I LOVE Target t shirts. They just fit really well, are really soft and pretty flattering. And usually on sale.

Other than those two things, I will buy anything anywhere.

Oh, shirts I get at Michael's, then strategically spray bleach all over them to make really cool shirts for around $3 each :p

Hahaha God bless Delias!!

Last time I needed new jeans, I tried desperately to NOT go to Delias because I'd really rather just spend like $20 on a pair. I couldn't understand why every other freaking place on the planet had "short" jeans that were still like a foot too long. Caved and went to Delias and realized they are just geniuses by having a PETITE size (and I felt dumb because I didn't know that's what the "P" on the tag of my old jeans meant LOL).

And yes, the fact that they actually have them in stock at the stores is a wonderful miracle in itself.
