I must stop though…I don't need all these jeans!!!
But the bargains at loehmanns/century 21/nordstrom's rack are so good :^:
and I love the hunt!!
These are mainly bottoms cause I buy tops from H&M - I find that their tops fit me well and the quality is pretty good for the regular price!

The area that I live in doesn't offer a lot of shopping options, so my typical shopping route for clothes is between TJMaxx and Kohl's. If I drive out a bit more, I can hit the mall but that's a 20 minute drive on good traffic, and it isn't bargain worthy - so it's a rarity that I even go there. That said, I LOVE going to the mall during the holiday season - the music, the decorations, it's so festive! Oh, actually, on eBay you can find a lot of great brands at a fraction of the cost. I bought lots of cute tops ($10) and swimwear ($25-30) - the swimwear can especially get pricey.. like $50 a piece pricey minimal.

I'm doing a lot of consignment store shopping, so some of these are a lot cheaper because it's secondhand.

My most recent -
denim capris at Kohl's - $7.70 plus a 20% off coupon
jeans @kohl's -$4.40 plus a 15% off coupon
cute batwing tshirt @ Kohl's - $5 plus 15% off
twill pants @the Gap - $11 plus 20% off plus 15% off
2 maxi dresses @JC Penney - $8 each
down jacket @Land's End - $40 plus 25% off

Consignment/Ebay bargains -
2 pairs of gap jeans - $8 each
new J Crew white jeans - $11.50
some designer I can't remember denim dress - $8.50

I've turned in to quite the bargain hunter. I can't stand spending a lot on a temporary wardrobe.

The Talbot's outlet store is starting to be like crack for me. They're having a big sale this month and I've already been twice. I think I might go one more time.

Last time, I got dresses for $20 each, originally priced at an obscene $150-$200.

I always check out the clothes at BJ's (like Costco) and have found some great stuff there.

Hehe, I am also guilty of getting too excited about going to the mall around Christmas.

I buy all my clothes CHEAP. Clearance racks, Marshalls/TJ Maxx, H&M, Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, and thrift stores. I am "saving myself" for my next European vacation!

There's a Tanger outlet near my fiancé's house. Using coupons and shopping in the clearance racks, I get SO MANY things for cheap.

I just did good at the mall near me though. Used the sales to my advantage and got about 12 things for 32 bucks!

I pretty much ONLY shop in clearance racks now :lol: I got used to that when I was losing and being a smaller size has made it super easy to get clothes cheap.

When I was in New York last year I got an A&F hoodie for $22, normal price I think was $50something.

Got a pair of fabulous heels last Christmas for €36 marked from €72.

I mostly shop in thrift shops. Recent finds include a pair of black Calvin Klein jeans for 2euro and Ralph Lauren trousers for 2.50.

I can't help myself from checking out Century 21, Last Call, and Off 5th whenever I get the chance... and I love Woodberry Commons Premium Outlets... not exactly "bargains" but they have Gucci, Prada, Ferragamo, Armani, Burberry, Barney's, Coach, Cole Haan, etc... for usually 25% off (sometimes more) and that's better than paying full retail in my book...

Oh... and I can't wait to get down to my GW so I can start going to "sample" sales again... you can find amazing Fashion Week and runway stuff at pretty incredible "bargains" as long as you're willing to fight with the fashionistas over them... Definitely not for the faint of heart...:)

I'm obsessed with thrift store shopping because I always find something awesome every time I go!

Last time I found:

Michael Kors Jeans- $6
Nike workout pants- $4
Zara top- $4
American Eagle sweater- $3
American Eagle sundress- $3

I once found True Religion jeans for $6! They didn't know what they had, apparently.

I also shopped at Kohls recently and got jeans and capris for only $7 each and a few tops for about $5 each. I love getting a good deal!
