where do 40 year old women shop for clothes?

meshashesha2012

Forever 21. Just kidding, wherever they want I guess! Not in my 40s yet but I'd like to think if it looks good on you and is appropriate why limit yourself? I didn't know 40 was so old as to switch over to granny panties and/mumuus.

this... and oh yeah i've bought things from forever 21 mainly blazers, tunics, tees and leggings.

I'm trying to find things that will fit for longer than a few weeks. I've lost 61 pounds in the 10 weeks since I had my gastric bypass .
I'm looking forward to shopping but so far with just the little bit i've done, It's been discouraging. I don't want to spend a lot, so I've been going to thrift stores for a few items and have been trying to arrange a clothing swap type of party.

Wow, I didn't realize i was supposed to shop somewhere special. My jeans (favorite ever), still come from American Eagle Outfitters. Tops, depends on what I like.

My work wardrobe comes from stores like Talbots, J. Crew, White House/Black Market, et al because I work in a professional environment and have a dress code to which I need to adhere. But on the weekends? I wear whatever I please... because I couldn't care less about someone else's opinion about how I dress. Today I wore a Hollister polo shirt, rolled up skinny jeans from 7 for All Mankind, and my favorite pair of worn-out Converse All-Stars sneakers. If that's dressing "too young," then so be it.

I'd rather dress in whatever makes me feel comfortable, and not have to adhere to what someone *else* thinks just because I'm 40+.

Totally with you here! AEO jeans for sure. A lot of tops from a website called zulilly.com that has lots of different, fun stuff. I'm 55 but didn't realize there was a cutoff where I was supposed to go conservative. Oops!

I pretty much live at Ross. I love it there so much. And Target. And one of our local resale shops that I love to pieces. And Walmart. That's basically it for me.

LOVE my AEO jeans as well... though I find it rather funny that when I worked there almost 20 years (and 80+ pounds) ago I couldn't fit into *any* of the womens' clothing there. :laugh:

I love Modcloth.com for dresses and shoes!. I am 45 btw. jeans- what ever fits my booty, even if it's got bling! lol Shorts and casual everyday wear and exercise stuff... walmart and target!

NSV recently bought a cute pair of peach colored shorts at walmart in what was a 5. did not realize they were a jr size but they fit! lol woo hoo!

Good luck and have fun shopping!

Your mind set is AWESOME!

I'm 40 and I love the Loft and Express. Like someone else said, I love how American Eagle jeans fit but the rest of their styles are too young. I wear mostly Calvin Klein for work dresses.

Did you really mean this to be as offensive as it reads? h
