specifically clothing for yourself!

for casual?

for work?

and for other?

the other thread of how much you spend on yourself got me thinking curious where you people pick up your wardrobe?

Mosrly junk stores. Most of my tops are 6 dollars. Baby clothes 1 to 3 dollars. All new, often brand name or samples.

Theyre like neighborhood stores that don't really have names...and very hit or miss kind of thing because turnover is daily or so.

Brooklyn here-I used to buy all my tops from Macys and Junees...Skirts mostly Junees because Im tall and they always have short skirts that cover my knees. I have bought dresses from Fashion Island. Lately I have discovered people who sell clothes from the house, like Fallons and Forever Young Trend. They sell Linear collection tops and Go Modest Couture dresses, I can wear to work or Shabbos...Im not fancy.

A bit off topic, looking for Shabbas/simcha wear online. The cheaper the better. Any links?

Weekday--a lot of my tops and pjs are from target
Shabbos--Local Jewish stores which cost a fortune
Makeup--ipsy, sephora, riteaid
Shoes--Nordstrom, DSW, Zappos--usually online
Skirts--Jewish stores
I've gotten some things on Amazon, but it is really hit and miss

I guess I just know my body type and order accordingly. I have luck, I guess. I also only order from stores that allow returns (preferably free, such as banana republic, Asos, and Nordstrom).

Zara
H&M
Gap
Bloomingdales sale
Local Jewish stores in Brooklyn and Five Towns, like Talking Fashion, Fame and Debbie's Closet for tznius skirts.
I usually buy kind of expensive shoes once a season (~$250) as I rub down shoes fast and I feel expensive-looking shoes pull most simple outfits together well. That's my splurge.

It also helps if you shop at the same stores often...you get to know your sizes in those stores.
FYI Zara has free returns where UPS picks up the package from your home!
