    Most of my closet is from LOFT or New York and Company. I wear jeans and semi-casual shirts to work every day, so those brands have a lot of easy-to-wear clothes appropriate for my day-to-day.

    Calvin Klein has slowly been creeping into my closet. I've found a brand called YEST that I can get at a local boutique, and I love it. Other than that, IDK what the brands are, I just buy pretty things.

    Shoes are a different story. If I stumble across a deal on a name brand, it's mine. Some of my favorites in my closet:
    -Badgley Mischka ($200 retail, bought for $50)
    -Paul Andrew ($1200 retail, bought for $100)
    -Sergio Rossi ($830 and $1350 retail, bought each for $100)
    -Rene Caovilla (glittery silver soles - take that Louboutin!)

    I love clothes that fit my frame and will last for awhile so I don't mind spending a bit of money. That said

    Workout:
    Under Armour
    Nike

    Regular clothes:
    True religion (jeans fit great especially with my long legs)
    Free People
    Michael Kors (Love their tops and dresses)

    Purses/Shoes

    My weakness and they are designer which I'd rather not list.

    No specific brand but do have a couple.. I am not a foo foo girl.. So I stick to basic American Eagle jeans, teva flip flops, workout workout gear that fits (any thing), and my ankle boots in the winter..

    I work at home so my clothes are all casual to PJ's... LOL

    Goddamn it, I almost sweettalked that fitness chick into knitting me a jumper and now the thread is gone :'(

    I almost talked someone into knitting me a vicuna scarf and wound up empty handed too.

    I stick to H&M, Express, and TJ Maxx mostly. Sometimes Forever21, their contemporary line because it's usually less hooch. I love to online shop so I usually will order a huge lot at once and go through it all at home and try it on with stuff I already have, then send back what doesn't work. Saves me so much time.

    Why? The MyPakage First Layer’s signature feature is a “keyhole” pouch built to cradle a man’s, er, package, preventing overheating, reducing chafing, and eliminating the need for constant adjustments. “Super-comfortable, and kept things from getting too muggy down there,” reports one tester. A seamless panel in the crotch eliminates rubbing, and four-way stretch ensures the pants moved with testers for everything from ski-touring to fatbiking.

    I dont have a brand preference for workout clothes, but I am obsessed with Calvin Klein for work. It's like their sheath dresses were made just for me, I have yet to meet one I didn't like. I also love Lucky jeans because they are so much softer and more comfortable than other jeans I've worn, without looking like jeggings.

    Current obsession is Hollister, simply cause they do so many v cut tops which are slightly baggy, so perfect for the gym without feeling like a 12 year old in a t shirt !

    Liking the Victoria Secret Pink range, for work out clothes, and super cute socks!

    got a lot from Jack wills and Asos but I'll buy what I like, just cause it doesn't have a label won't stop me buying it

    I want to write up my go to brands, but it's pointless. Most of them are unheard of in the United States.

    But I am very particular about seeing "Made in England" in my clothes :D Out and out anglophile.

    Thomas Pink has started manufacturing in Morocco and Indonesia and it's giving me the heartburn. As soon as that stupid effing Mugatu company took over TP, they are starting to manufacture items in sweatshops outside of western Europe.

    I absolutely hate wearing clothes that were made in China or even India, unless it's local grown. American companies have zero oversight and all that *kitten* that hits Gap or Kohls or Banana R are made by workers who live in terrible conditions and make 100 shirts a day without food.

    I hate using the iPhone too but I have no choice.

    When I go to Brooks Brothers I hand pick items either made in Italy or the United States. Their black fleece line is mostly made at home.

    I hear you but... I just can't afford $30+ for a shirt. Just not happening. Especially with kids, a cat, and a dog, which mean stains (some of them mine - I'm clumsy too) and rips.

    Where's the husband?

    He doesn't typically destroy my clothes, lol.

    under armour because I have had skin cancer twice and its fabric is designed to stop harmful rays. I'm allergic to lotion so have to use a baby sun screen and only lightly apply it. I also like them because I can buy a new shirt on ebay for $30-35 and sell it a year later for $25-$30 as used so it basically costs me about $50 a year (10 different shirts) to dress and I can normally make that up in shipping charges.
