Favorite clothing designers/stores?

[Alumiyum]

I actually find a lot of things at Target. Especially when they have the special "guest designers" bring in a collection you can find clothing that is well made and is seriously cute. I got the dress I bought for Easter last year there and when I went to get it altered the tailor had a fit over it because he didn't believe it came from Target. I took that as a good sign.

But for "real" clothes I like Modcloth. It's just difficult to buy from there because the quality is so hit or miss. I'm a snob when it comes to how the piece is made, what material was used, and whether or not it looks "expensive". I won't buy things that look cheap even though 90% of the time they are. So I have to read all of the product details very closely before I buy. Of course when I start student teaching I'll have to re-evaluate and start buying more practical, teacherly outfits...but Modcloth is my fave until then.

If I weren't working with a such a tight budget I'd buy just about everything from Free People and Anthropologie.

When I got home I had two Express coupons waiting for me. Woo hoo!

I've heard soooo many people go on and on about Target but I NEVER find anything I like when I go

A lot of my work wardrobe comes from Express - especially the dress pants. I can buy dresses, skirts, and shirts almost anywhere - but most of my tops are from Urban Outfitters, Kensie, and H&M. I love Target for their boyfriend v-neck tshirts!

I love Citizens of Humanity for jeans. I still own quite a few pairs of Seven for All Mankind that I do not fit into anymore and it breaks my heart! Express is good for skinny jeans, as well.

I also tend to lean towards Nine West for shoes - both heels and flats.

The new Target Calypso collection was so cute, but by the time I went (like a week after it debuted), everything was GONE.

For jeans, I only wear American Eagle. They're the only ones that hold up well and fit me.

Everything else.....a lot of NY & Co. for school/hospital, and a lot of Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren the rest of the time.

Oh yeah, I'm also addicted to Sperry, North Face, Columbia, and Sanuk flip flops.
