    I'm a penny pincher so I buy second hand. Well, except for things like bras and undies. The idea of used underwear... no. Just no.

    Wal-mart, especially now that I can fit into the regular sizes and don't have to buy shirts that look like picnic blankets.

    Ann Taylor, Loft, online, some of the basics at Target. DSW for shoes, Sierratradingpost.com for hiking shoes (small feet, hard to find in stores).

    I used to hate to buy clothes, so now I love to treat myself. I like to save money, but I also enjoy a nice splurge!

    Clothes: Everywhere! But mostly Forever 21, Target, Kohl's, Guess, Macy's, New York and Co.... okay everywhere

    Workout Clothes: Usually Target, but sometimes I splurge on lululemon

    Undergarments: Victoria Secret and Frederick's of Hollywood

    Shoes: EVERYWHERE! I am a shoe addict.

    Sneakers: Usually I research online for shoes that are best matched to the activity that I am doing and my foot type and order those, and for running shoes, I go to a specailized running store and have them fitted.

    Where do you go for clothes, bra, underwear, workout clothes, and shoes shopping? Do you spend alot of money or do you buy them on clearance?

    I LOVE this topic lol.

    Clothes: Maurices always! That store is affordable and amazing. Jeans I purchase at the Buckle. Expensive but 3 pairs will keep me happy for multiple years.
    Underwear: Soma for bras. BEST EVER. Expensive but SO WORTH IT. Socks/undies I purchase at WalMart
    Work out clothes: I bought a bunch of junk on Nike's store... they've lasted awhile. I don't plan on buying anything soon.
    Shoes: Payless Shoes lol. Cheap & affordable. Great knock offs of regular brands. I would love to get some Tom's but so damn expensive!!

    I spend $60 a month. And I get extra money from tax returns, my birthday, and Xmas.

    We don't have many of the cheaper stores mentioned where I am. I'm still in the plus-size department and I find lots of great deals online at Lands End. They have sales all the time and their stuff is usually pretty good quality. I buy most of my son's stuff there too. Another bonus is that you can return their stuff free to Sears.

    Maurices? My Maurices is expensive! Cheapest outfit I bought there was $75! And that was either the top or bottoms on sale! But I do love their clothes!

    Regular clothes I buy anywhere that I can find stuff I like and fits... usually it's on sale, but sometimes I treat myself if it fits perfect. On an unrelated note, I went shopping yesterday and my nephews grabbed some random shorts in the JUNIOR'S section (which I haven't fit into in YEARS) and they fit! Not plus size!! I was so excited!! I haven't been out of plus sizes in forever!! Nice little NSV surprise. Anyways, usually I get stuff from Macy's, Old Navy, Gap, wherever...

    Bras, I typically get from Dillards because I love their brand, they fit like a glove!

    I'm not picky about where I buy underwear... I just got some from American Eagle and they fit great, but I have a bunch from Gap.

    Workout clothes I get from Kohl's because I was actually working there and it was convenient; also they have a really good selection, despite my opposition to them in general. Sports bras I buy online from Moving Comfort, though.

    I don't have a particular place I buy shoes. I have some from just about everywhere, but I did get my workout shoes from Kohl's.

    I live in a small town so some of my choices are limited.... I buy a lot at Target! I live in some of the C9 gear and bought most of it when it's been on sale. I have lost enough weight to finally shop at Old Navy and have most things fit. So I haunt their sales a lot and try to maximize their cash back deals.

    For nicer clothes I did get a couple of things that can be mixed and matched at Coldwater Creek and J Jill. I was visiting friends and hit their mall before coming home. I have worn the J Jill linen capri's and linen shorts to death this summer. I love line when it's hot and humid out. I have stuck to mostly to basics and waited until I really need something so that it might be on sale. I have been good about not buying something just because it fits and I'm excited to be wearing a smaller size..... I only buy it if it looks really good, a decent price and I really need it.

    In about a month or so I need to find something to wear to a wedding. I hate when I have to go shopping for a special outfit but at least now more things should fit than in the past.

    I gave birth 7 months ago, and I started to work out in March. I lost about 9lbs so far. I haven't really got the chance to buy any new clothes for my new size just yet. I have bought one outfit right after I started to work out at the NYC. That outfit is already big on me. Then I bought a cute outfit for my birthday in May. The skirt was a little tight at first then when I tried it on again it fit a little better. My husband doesn't like me to mention this part but since he is in the military it does help and become handy to get discounts on some stores. I am still wearing my maternity bras and underwear and I first bought my bra and underwear set 4 days ago at Aerie and I got a good deal. I bought a pair of work out shorts at walmart, AAFES (the Exchange) and yesterday I bought a work out shirt at AAFES as well. That's what I have bought so far since I lost 9lbs. When you are on a budget and need of clothes I go anywhere I can and hit the sales rack, go online and I try to compare prices. I also like to to shop at the outlets. They always have great deals. I am not a fan of VS anymore when it comes to shopping there for bras and underwear. I still need to go clothes shopping bad. lol. I am still wearing maternity clothes and it's really baggy on me. I do need a good pair of running shoes. I was thinking of going to the Finish Line to get a pair. I was just trying to get idea's where everyone shops for clothes and everything else. Thanks for sharing :)

    I usually hit Marshall's or Ross first. I also shop at Rue 21 for Jeans and casual clothes.

    No need to spend a ton of money for clothes. If you are smart about it you can get really good stuff for less.

    I have a serious problem when it comes to buying clothes. Some people have even gone so far as to call it an addiction. I mean, okay, just because I have a completely full closet, a dresser on the verge of bursting because it is so full and a second dresser with one drawer dedicated to just scarves and tights (when I live in Florida...)? It doesn't mean I'm ADDICTED. It just means that I'm...passionate....

    Anyways, my favourite place to buy clothes is ModCloth, but since that is expensive, I only get things when I have some extra money or when things are on sale. H&M is another favourite place for clothes that aren't too pricey but still nice quality. I like Forever 21 because the clothes are cute and inexpensive but also relatively cheap/poorly made, so when I buy things there, I am prepared for them to fall apart after only a few wears, basically. I also usually find things at Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshall's, Target, and usually anywhere with a clearance rack. I tend to buy my underthings from Victoria's Secret and shoes from all of the above places as well. I also enjoy thrift stores! And making my own clothes as well.

    Nordstroms
    Nordstroms Rack
    Victorias Seceret
    Marshalls
    Forever 21
    Target
    Local Boutiques.
    Or anywhere I find something cute, but 90% of my clothes are from those places. It depends how much money I have when I'm deciding what to spend. :tongue:
