My personal favorite is Casual Corner(but so is my 40% discount) for the corporate world. Then Victorias Secret, the store and catalogue, Jones New York or Anne Klein. GAP and Old Navy for play.

With shoes ENZO or Nine West...as for purses, Kenneth Cole, Nine West, Liz Claiborne or Gucci.

Eyewear.....I wear glasses on a daily so they have to be top notch. So, I go with Fendi, DKNY, Gucci or Jeffrey Bean. Since I need prescription sun glasses the above designers are used also.

I'mma bring it down a notch. Mo power to the high fashioned folks in here but as for me.

I like Chez Target! Nice comfortable clothes and such.

Other stuff: Express, Old Navy, Gap, Thrift Stores and Yard Sales

Underclothes: I gotta go with VS. I got the card. It's kinda nice to have.

Question: is the card really worth it?

Shoes: Nine West, New Balance

This is funny to me. When I was going up I hated the fact that my mother didn't buy designer clothing for me. My aunt did! I would get so mad. Especially when pinstripe Lees and Aigner were HOT!!!! Shoot now I am not as bad as my mother but I buy nothing designer for myself.. I love Lerners of New York but I buy designer clothes for my children now I know names for them I frequent Belks for Osh Kosh and Gap Kids!! I will splurge when they get older and my income increases... Hey! I don't buy NO Name No Brand Food like my MOTHER!!!!!

The VS card is not worth it!!! It will only get you in trouble (which can be good or bad if you know what I mean). Trust me on this--I know. I had a gold card, but I paid it off and closed the account. Now I hate shopping there b/c I don't have my card and I actually look at the prices now.....

Now, Targe' (b.k.a. Target) is THE store. I will admit that I'm not "ghetto-fantabulous" all the time. I'm a B.A.C.S. too, but I do treat myself and my boyfriend spoils me too.

Well I guess you can say we have some high-rollers in here! ;D

I definately agree with exquizit:

Can I just say....ANYTHING THAT'S HIGH QUALITY with LOW LOW PRICES!!!! LOL
You guys know I have Fashion high Priced taste, but I'm smart enough to know that I can't always afford it

But in addittion to that:

Regular clothes:
Aeropostal
Old Navy
Lerners

Shoes:
Nine West ( Ilove their shoes! )
9&Co

If I buy suits it is from Paul Harris.

As far as clothes, I'm not a big designer wearer. If it's cute and it looks cute on me, and it's not CRAZY expensive, I'll buy it.

As far as shoes, if they are being worn on a regular basis, they can't be cheap (read: cheaply made). Cheap shoes will JACK UP YOUR FEET! I will buy cheaper shoes that are for novelty wear, like I only have one or two outfits to match them. If I had to choose a favorite brand, I guess it'd be Nine West.

Purses: Dooney and Burke is my fave, followed closely by Coach. I like the fact that I have a lifetime guarantee on these purses. To me, that makes them worth the money that I pay for them. Convinced, I am also diggin' the little cloth purses that I can swing over my shoulder.

Exquizit, girl, I feel you on high quality, low prices!! I hardly buy anything that's not on sale. Outlet malls are my fave. I will even frequent a thrift store, if I can find a good one.

I absolutely love shopping, with my pocket, sometimes it's window shopping... I buy my business suits from Hechts and Dillards.. I look for style, regardless of the designer... I don't have too many casual clothes. I have a few pairs of jeans, but I'm not a big jeans wearer... I love shoes..DSW shoe warehouse is becoming my new "hot spot".. I love Nine West, Aigner, Enzo, Via Spiga, Franco Sarto, and Kenneth Cole(loafers).. As for bags, I will wear the same Black Coach or Gucci bag for a while, sometimes I'll wear the Louie, but I'm not a real bag fan... I do love belts to match with shoes, and I normally buy belts from TJ Maxx or Marshalls..

My normal style is same color shirt and slacks, with a funky belt and shoes to match the belt with simple gold studs or hoop earrings... that's me!!

[Swamp Thang]

whoever ( I'm guessing Lerner ) brought back the "Pleated Khaki shawt-shawtz" !!! I saw about 15 ladies with the Lerner fitted shirts and the Pleated Khaki shawt-shawtz at Platinum of Birmingham saturday night...

I have only 6 words for it... re-dick-QUE-luss-ly guuuuuud

[lil_sunshine]

My fave clothing brands are:

Casual/Jeans: Playboy, Sergio Valente, Baby Phat, Old Navy, Gap
Shirts/Blouses: DKNY, Playboy, Rocawear, FUBU
Sneakers: Reebok
Shoes: Anything that looks nice (like people are gonna be questioning me where I got my shoes from )

Basically clothes that look good, aren't too expensive AND fit my big booty!!!
