I'm doing some overhauling of my waredrobe and eventho I know where I'm going to grab those last few things I nerd to update and make it complete I thought it'd still be fun to ask you guys where you shop and why. what are your fav stores or sites for clothes, shoes, etc.??.. I'm old so may be overlooking some gems out there. :-)

Lmao!. velen, you are too funny..
I do buy stuff at 4eva21. but I never see the stuff I buy on others. but I don't shop much anymore and I don't wear stuff soon as I buy it. ppl always ask where my stuff is from. I don't style it lime they do and I wear expensive shoes. lol.

I get my classics from Nordstrom, Saks and few other places because at my age,39, quality over quantity rules. For trendy pieces I pull from H&M and Forever21, Urban Outfitters. The lower priced items are lucky if they survive a season due to wearing out with a quickness while I have items in my closet that have lasted 10+ years...shoes included. Forever21 is notorious for falling apart...holes popping up, fabric fading(and I don't even run them thru the dryer). Sometimes I'll even hit up estate sales for pristine classics like Hermes scarves that I scored for $3 each or my greatest score...never worn Giorgio Armani suit (skirt and jacket).

Lol @ velen New email name. ;-) I will email you. thanks!..

@Shelley.. I lovvvveeee me some Nordstrom and nordy rack!.
I need to start going to estate sales. they have a house n the close burbs that does resale on special occasion. my cousin goes spends $100 and comes back with all types of crazy. but she's 50 and describes herself even as frumpy so we have way different styles but I need to see if I can find things that fit my vibe.. ;-)

@michele, they just put a Plato's closet near my gym. I'm going to b going in there often dropping off my stuff. I'm going to see what they have going on.

Plato's annoys me. I took a huge pile of Joie and Hudson jeans in that once retailed for $175-250 bucks. Only two seasons old but the girl told that she never heard of the brands before so they didn't want to buy them. I was able to unload them with a consignment shop in Orlando two hours away. I think if someone is going to work at such a place needs to be educated about the various labels out there...and I shouldn't have known better because the place was exploding at the seams with A&F and American Eagle gear.lol.

I always check thrift stores for clothing! Sometimes there isn't much I really like and since its so cheap, I usually buy a bunch of stuff I don't wear... I have been trying to downsize my wardrobe (got rid of about 500 items last week and still have much more to go), so I have been trying to be smarter about what I take home from thrift stores. I do always buy up leather, fur, and quality accessories when thrifting.

For staple items of great quality, I usually stick to department stores like Bloomingdale's or Neiman Marcus. This is usually limited to good pairs of jeans, winter coats, LBDs, or anything I need to get a ton of use out of where quality is imperative in keeping around these items for for longer than a season or two.

For seasonal/trend items I go with Forever21 or Target. When I shop at Target, it is usually for seasonal accessory trends like bags, jewelry, and shoes. I'll buy clothes from Target if I need something ASAP for one specific event where I probably won't wear the item again. The quality isn't bad, but I can usually find cuter things for a similar price through ASOS or Forever21. Forever21 is not really great quality, so I buy trend items there. I don't need these items to last more than a season since they'll probably be out of fashion or I'll grow tired of them by the time the clothes get worn out. The prices seemed to have increased quite a bit in the past few years, so I don't shop Forever21 as much as I used to.

For longer standing trend items, some staples, and any items I like that I think will be able to last in my wardrobe for a long time, I shop at ASOS. Their quality is pretty good, the have a wide variety of prices and sizes, they have many sales & discount codes, their shipping is fast, and return are super easy, not to mention their customer service is excellent. I paid for a year of "premiere membership" and I get free 2 day shipping, access to sales early, extra discount codes, ect. With the amount of clothing and the frequency I buy from this site (and paid for $12 two day shipping), it has paid for itself MANY times over since I bought into this program and I couldn't be happier.


I have a very hard time finding unique clothing since I am plus sized and cannot walk into just any store and select an item from XS-L or 00-12, so this is basically all I have to work with that suits my style, my sizes, and is age appropriate =/

I feel the same way about target Natalie.. I feel it's a bit overpriced.. they selling jeans for 29/$39 but I can buy expensive jeans on sale at department store or at tjx or nordy rack.
forever21 has definitely gone up on their prices n certain things I just won't but there because of the price.
its cool that you've had such a good experience with Asos. I plan to buy more there going fwd. always see stuff I like there.
