aeropostle is where i get my shirts and i get jeans from american eagle

As sisypheanme said, Forever 21 isn't just for teens. :-) Well, not from my perspective anyway. But, I *do* go for trendy as I said...I guess it's a personal preference.

But really, I see all ages in the store. I really like their clothes.

If there is one in your town check out Plato's Closet. They buy brand name clothes from people and then resell them. They only take gently used clothes so most things look brand new. I especially like getting jeans there. Way cheaper than new jeans which is great since I'm still losing weight and only plan on wearing them for a month or two anyway!

Yeah, me too! In fact, I'm so cheap Goodwill is too expensive! I like the thrift store, which is actually far cheaper.

But I'm also oddly on the other end of the spectrum as well. I do not like "cheap" clothes and am willing to spend money on quality. The nice thing about the thrift store is I know the name brands I like and I find them there, dirt cheap! I love that. Now that the weight is gone I plan to do the basics at the thrift store and then splurge on nice pieces.

It's nice to be in this frame of mind again. For the past 10 years I didn't care to shop anywhere else. I do need to step outside the thrift store a wee bit now. LOL!

Don't be intimidated by the name ladies, Forever 21 has some fun pieces at great prices. You can find some really trendy things, and they actually last quite awhile. The sizing is small, but they have started making plus size clothing. The quality is really good for the price.

For jeans, I like American Eagle. They're around $30 a pair and last really well. Gap has gone down in quality in the last 10 years, but if you buy a pair on sale it's worth it. J Crew is great (stick with their sales though!) and Ann Taylor tends to have great sales in the store.

I love CATO. If there is one near you, check it out! Their clothes are cute, in style and priced really reasonably.

i don't buy much of any clothes lately since I am only just saring my weight loss.....but for motivation I have been looking at all sorts of cute clothes to inspire me..even copying images and mixing and matching them with other clothing images

the sites I have found the best stuff (for my preference) is www(DOT)asos(DOTcom & www(DOT)zara(DOT)com

^i hope it's oke for me to do that ^

when i am able to fit into these clothes i could do all of my shopping on those two sites, or at the zara location near me...both sites seem to cover most price ranges, especially asos ! stuff from $10-$500 and maybe even higher on asos....the zara site however, i lovvvve it, i just can't seem to figure out how you actually order online ? ...oh well...guess that doesn't matter for now (except for shoes !)
