I wish I was good at shopping at TJ Maxx or Ross. I am not opposed to the idea of it, bargains are always a good thing... but whereas everyone else raves about the deals they find, I am always like, "How do you sort through all the hideous stuff to get to something you might want?" I just can't... no matter how hard I try.
As for clothes... I WOULD spend a lot of money for clothes if I HAD that money. I can't justify spending $200 on a pair of pants when I have bills to pay. The exception is handbags and makeup... I buy those to cheer me up and even if I have to deal with an ungodly credit card bill, I still buy high-end. But if I had a real job and was financially secure, there are plenty of expensive things that I would buy.
Right now I wear a lot of Gap, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, J.Crew, but I often make purchases at Old Navy as well. The thing with Old Navy is that you have to go in knowing that anything you buy isn't going to stay together for more than a season or two.
This is how I see it... if you have style, you can make clothes from Wal-Mart look good. I think it looks more carefree and stylish when you pair less expensive basics with the occasional splurge. People who spend money JUST to say, "Oh, this is Oscar" or fill their closets with expensive clothes they never wear get on my nerves.
