Where do you shop?

[pfunk12]

For work clothes, I shop at Ann Taylor, AT Loft, Nordstroms (usually only sales), Banana Republic, or Limited (mostly for pants). For casual clothes, I usually order from Title Nine, Athleta, or Patagonia.

I love the consignment store. I have a nice one I love to visit, especially if I need pants. I just pick up everything I sort of like, in my size, from their rack, and I eventually find one or two pairs that fit. At regular stores, it's a lot more complicated because the range is not that wide.

I've scored two pairs of obviously new - maybe worn once - Banana Republic pants recently. Now I know that I can go check out the store. It's a great way to see lots of brands at the same time.

Of all the pants (and jeans), I've bought in life...only 1 pr. i never had to alter hem by shortening it, etc. on my sewing machine. I have a 28" pant in-seam.

I expect most pants and long sleeved tops not to fit me in limb length in the store --99% time it's too long. Either I alter the length or for some tops, roll up neatly into a wrist cuff. It is a problem with tailored long-sleeved tops with buttoned French cuffs.

There is a whole group of stores I just don't bother walking into anymore...I might have a decade ago. Eddie Bauer is one of them.

Many stores do provide size 0 or 2. But often it's the only one left..so if I really want it, I buy it instead of waiting for discount sales. Hence, it gets expensive...
