I need to buy some blazers. I'm a tall size 6-8 and want some that are a bit fitted and hit at the hip level. I could go hunting through Macys and Bloomingdales but I was hoping to save some time and just get a bunch of recommendations from you guys
Ann Taylor or WMBH usually have selection. There may be some in the Scandal collection from The Limited. Banana Republic.
I usually scour online instead of digging through stores when I am looking for something specific. If I can buy online and return in the store, I usually go that route.
Ok, thanks, I have a banana republic coupon and they are actually on the same plaza as Ann Taylor Loft and WMBH (or is it WHBM?) so maybe I'll take off a little early next week and try to drive down there. I buy everything online except for clothing. I'm just so picky that I feel like I usually need to try on 10 things to buy 1 that I like and the thought of charging all that to the card and then worrying about returning it is just not comfortable.
I'm another Banana Republic/Ann Taylor girl. I also have a few JCrew suits/jackets, and I've had some luck finding jackets at Nordstrom Rack if you have one in your area.
Also, I score a lot of great things from all of these stores at our local resale shop. I often find things with tags and it lets me try new looks with very little risk in terms of $$. Some of my favorite things are from there. The key is to find one that carries the brands mentioned (and doesn't trend down to Target or up to couture).
I was also going to chime in on the limited. They can be pricey, but I have found some good sales on them in the clearance section that match existing pants I have just fine.
