What's your favorite place to shop for (non-maternity) clothing?

I just got an Anthropologie catalog and part of me wants to buy stuff I won't fit in for a while. MUST RESIST.

Re: What's your favorite place to shop for (non-maternity) clothing?

  • Banana Republic, J Crew, Old Navy, Express.  It's definitely hard looking at new stuff and not buying b/c I know I won't fit them for a while.  I will say that I am hoping I can fit into a ton of regular cotton dresses as I get bigger so I can hopefully avoid buying more maternity stuff.

  • Haha! I was thinking about posting this on FFFC. I love American Eagle. I can't seem to outgrow it. I'm addicted to the color blue.

  • I went into Romy clothing store the other day. I love that place and of course they were having a sale :( I wanted everything, haha!
  • Express & Forever21.  I also have a swimsuit, um, "problem".  I think I have like 45 Victorias Secret bikinis.

  • I have a JCrew problem. And I'd have a serious Anthropologie problem if I was richer.

    OOH, I so relate to this!  I buy several every year, and DH is always like, "Don't you already have a billion?"  Me: "Yes, but NOT in this color!"

    In addition to Anthro, I also like J.Crew, Ann Taylor, Ann Taylor Loft, Banana Republic, Gap, White House Black Market, Express, The Limited, and random places that catch my eye.

    I love Eagle too. I'm short and thin and they still have cute age appropriate stuff I think. If you skip the really graphic t-s their sweaters, hoodies, t-shirts, jeans are pretty good.

    I like Express as well (again, skipping the skankwear. They have the best work pants).

    I used to love NY&CO but their clothes all come apart in one wash lately, so I gave up.

    I'm learning to like JCP again. They restyled and have some really cute affordable stuff.

    Herberger's and Macy's are my other go to's.

  • Old Navy & Kohls. I don't like spending a ton on myself since I'm a SAHM. I splurge on shoes.

  • Probably Bloomingdales.

  • Bloomingdales and Nordstrom for big national stores.  I love Anthro too, especially their jewelry.  I grew up on Loehmann's but the ones in the DC area aren't great.

    I used to wear a lot of J. Crew but their quality has really gone downhill and their vanity sizing drives me insane.  (Ditto Loft and BR on the sizing thing.)

    I also like a lot of random online stores like ModCloth.

  • I loooovve H&M! They have the best stuff! Love it!

    Best part? They have some maternity friendly tops and dresses there! lol.

  • Wish I had a H&M, but not even one near here. I shop Tj Max, Express, Nordstrom, Francesca's Collections mostly. I love the BR Outlet too, it's just that it 1 1/2 hrs away.

  • I love Ann Taylor Loft. I can relate to the poster who said her whole work wordrobe is from the loft. When I'm feeling like I just can't spend anymore money there I'll head to Kohls. Kohl's can be hit or miss but the prices are fun!

    They also have maternity jeans; the pair I have are great! Aside from H&M, I'm also a fan of Express, Zara, JCrew, Banana Republic and sometimes the Gap. If I had the money, I would be shopping in Nordstrom and Bloomingdales all the time.

    I love anthropologie, and also jcrew.  Not to tempt you, but anthro def. has some cute flowy tops you could probably get away with up until 3rd tri-ish.  On an unrelated note, anthro just sent out an email that said they're debuting a wedding dress line on Feb 14th.  I wish they had it when i got married!!

    Also, I vote jcrew should get a maternity line.  Who's going to start the petition?

    I wish they had a maternity line!  I would love it.  I wish Anthro did too.

    I was looking and they def do have some tops that would work.  I would wear them after the baby, too, so it might not be the worst idea.  hehe

    Exactly! I'm relatively tall (5'8") and not a stick.  I should not have to get an extra small for it not to look like a tent.

  • should be "where WAS your favorite place to shop"....  it is so hard for me to remember that this is a temporary body shape...
  • Jcrew and Anthro

  • I LOVE Ann Taylor Loft because there stuff is adorable andthey have petits, but I am too chepa to buy anything (if I was rich that wouls be the only place I would shop sad, but true). But I love ON and Target. I have a really hard time buying anything full price and they always have awesome sales.
