What "skinny" store do you look forward to shopping in?

When I went shopping the other day I LOVED waving at Lane Bryant and went into The Buckle instead!!! It felt so good!

Thrift stores! All my skinny friends can pull it off, where as I look like a frumpy big girl lol

Haha I love how our responses are exactly the opposite

lol! that is crazy! I have these 5'1 under 100lb friends that wear these sweat shirts from the 80s, and jackets and all this awesome stuff, and it fits me because they are larges, but its not cute at all lol

I'm 5'1 and aiming for 105 C: I don't really go for vintage, though, just whatever fits and isn't too hideous

Vintage is hard to pull off and is def not everyones taste lol. This is the best example i could find, and we all look retard (Hopefully the pic works) im on the left, shes on the right, I love her style because is so her own! I cant wait until I can create my own look!

haha! it worked! (slightly embarrassed) lmao

Abercombie and Fitch and Hollister

but i've secretly kind of hate those stores because they fit so tiny! i don't think i'll ever fit their clothes cause my boobs and shoulders are so large. lol

Same! Most of the stuff I wear comes from my older cousins, so I've never really had a chance to decide what to wear...I'm excited

Hollister and Buckles. But I most likely will only buy one outfit from each im a poor chick.

I am going to say Zara, but I probably won't be small enough to shop there and find everything. Not all clothes come in all of the sizes. XL = US 12 most of the time. And some things only come in XS, S, M. Most items only come in XS - L. (Lots of cute stuff though!) The good thing about Zara? The price tag tells you what sizes are available for a particular item, so you don't have to waste time figuring out if size X exists or is just sold out.

Also Mango, Armani Exchange and Club Monaco.

Maybe Madewell? Some stuff looks cute. But overpriced.

I kind of have a tricky shape to fit, so I could fit into tops at most stores. Pants have always been iffy. And dresses are hit or miss. So for me, the real milestone is if I can wear the pants! Right now, Gap and Ann Taylor work. Haven't tried on any at Banana Republic yet, so I guess we will see. H&M is still too small for pants, but dresses are fine.

White house black market...
S.W.A.K
Express
Nordstrom
Saks fifth Ave.
Bebe


Even if I jus get to buy one damn sexy dress and it cost me $1000 I will do it cause I finally can!!

Victoria's Secret! I haven't ever had matching bra and panties, and look forward to fitting into their underthings so I can feel beautiful.

Not even holding my breath I will ever fit VS bras. I'll either be too small in the band or too big in the cups or both.

Cabelas, REI, etc.

When I was a size 24 I said I'd never shop at Lululemon or Lorna Jane because they don't cater for larger ladies. Their XL is a Au size 16 (US 12).

However, now I'm an Au size 18, I've decided that as soon as I can fit into an Au 16, I'm going to buy myself a cute gym outfit JUST CAUSE I CAN.

I've been wearing daggy clothes to the gym for over a year now, it'd be nice to have just one 'good' workout outfit.

Big W, just like my fat store ... I'm cheap.

And 'look forward to' and 'clothes shopping' are mutually exclusive for me.

Victoria's secret!!!!!
Even though my sister surprised me with a beautiful bra-panties set she was able to get in my current size from the Victoria's secret website, I can't wait til I can go in to the store location, get measured, and not asked to try on a bra a few sizes too small :P

But more importantly...vintage and gently-used designer label pieces I.E. Crossroads trading co. and others.

I'll continue going to the thrift store. I have my pick of many of the brands listed plus so many women give away practically new clothes when they gain weight, win win :smokin:

Eventually I'll have to rebuild my wardrobe and I would love to get some pieces from:

Ann Taylor
Gap
Express

I also love Old Navy for various items.
