Favorite clothing lines?
| Sun, 03-06-2005 - 5:14pm |
I have been spending some time thinking about what I'm going to buy when I'm thin this summer. I was wondering if anyone wanted to share some of their favorite catalog sites/stores...or even some of your "inspirational" peices (for example, I want to be able to buy some cute capris this year). I want to find some great peices that I will order when I get to my goal weight. I would appreciate any suggestions!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has had the Victoria's Secret experience. although I am aware that my size has gone up now, I was always right about my size when I order from them once and was surprised to find that there was no way I was getting my rear in those pants.
I had been wearing medium forever when I ordered a medium pair of pants from their sportswear line. I love those pants with the stripe up the side; these were white with the black stripe and had snaps instead of the side zipper in the leg that some athletic pants have. I had to give them to my teenage sister.
Oddly enough, I ordered a set from them around that time, in a large this time. The shirt was nearly too big, even though I lift weights often my shoulders are slim, but the shorts were way short. They fit, but they were some short shorts! Maybe they were supposed to be that way, but they didn't look quite that short on the model.
I do like VS's stuff. It's a bit expensive for me, but a lot of it is cute.

I'm a huge Banana Republic fan also....
I have a 'ruler' build.
What store are those sold in?

I like Ann Taylor Loft too. Her stuff is made very well.
Well, I have been living off the Walmart specials for the past few years. There just doesn't seem to be much money left once I shop for everyone else. Besides I have never been able to pay $60 for a pair of jeans. And I am a jeans and T-shirt gal all the time. But I have been eyeing some things in the mall lately. Just want to wait a bit longer until I am at a comfortable weight .

I was in a Lerner NewYork when I was in college in FL. I had a few friends from NY. They went into one in the mall, and one of them bought the nicest long skirt and top set I had seen in a long time. We don't have any around here, but I wonder now if I saw or got a catelog from them? I think it was them.
Anyway, I am basically a JC Penny fan as far as work clothes, and jeans. I know what size Lee jeans to buy and they lasted through a grueling two years of work in a press room once a week and the weekly washing that followed my Wednesdays in the press room. And the pairs I didn't wear to work on Wed have lasted a long time.
I like Champion for athletic wear, but they're kind of pricey. I try to find them online at locations other than from them directly.
I too really look for clothes that will last, jeans, workout clothes even good suits, but I hate paying full price for stuff.
