    VS is Fi's favorite place. That man is drawn to that store.. I suppose I shouldn't complain ;)

    My favorite place would probably be Nordstrom, but I guess that's kinda cheating so small store wise, XXI and H&M

    I love love love with all my love Ann Taylor Loft. I wish I was rich and could buy every outfit they put together online.

    I love H and M for dresses. I also love Macys. I think they have great sales.

    Express. More than half my closet is from there! 

    Also, I have quite a bit of shirts from Pink by VS. They're very comfortable. Everything else are random brands, if I like it I get it.

    Ugh I totally don't have a favorite right now! It used to be the Gap, then they got all weird. Then J. Crew, but I smartened up to the ludicrous prices. I'm a big fan of The Limited, because it's work appropriate but not super corporate. Express for certain things but they get a little clubby for me. I'm a mess....

    As shallow as this sounds, I get them from AE because they make my butt look good :) I'm super picky on clothes and my friends always make fun of me because if I'm getting solid color shirts, I'll find one style and then get it in like 4 different colors <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-tongue-out.gif" border="0" alt="Tongue out" title="Tongue out" />

    I feel the same way! I think they have super cute clothes but where I currently live and when I move to live with FI, there aren't any clubs, just low key bars, so I don't want to spend all my money on that kind of clothing.

    <div>I get what you mean, but they aren't all like that. They have 1 sections for clubs/semi formal to formal wear then they have quite a large section of casual clothing as well. I usually go to the casual side. H and I don't go clubbing but I do buy their "fancier" clothes for when we go out on nice dates. </div>

    Hike, I'm a Loft girl, too!  They had a contest on their Facebook page for a $1000 shopping spree, and I so wanted to win it!  I LOVE the Loft!  I wish it was my closet.

    I'm also a fan of J.  Crew because the stuff fits me so well off the rack (or at least it did before I gained 10 pounds... when I drop back down, I'll be fine).

    For work stuff, I like Banana Republic and random stuff I pick up at outlets.

    For jeans, I love Seven for All Mankind but I can rarely justify the cost.  But one pair lasts me a few years, so I do splurge once in awhile when I see a sale!

    I'm a big lofter as well! We have an outlet near... It's dangerous :) I have gotten things there for 2-3 bucks. no joke.
    I always love NY&co. I just bought a pair of canvas peep toe flats from there.. omg. Most comfortable shoe in the world O.o

    I love Express but their jeans stretch out too much for me. I also tend to buy too big of a size out of insecurity and then end up with baggy pants -_- Thank goodness for Summer and wearing dresses and skirts everywhere lol.

    Express, Gap and Ann Taylor Loft.  I haven't shopped at Loft much lately because that's where most of my teaching clothes come from and I haven't taught in a classroom in a while.  My PE teaching clothes I usually get all from Adidas.

    Ralph Lauren, JCrew, Banana Republic, Urban Outfitters, Anthro.. I'll buy AE jeans every once in a while.. Sadly though, I wear Nike capris, shorts, and skorts all the time with a Curves shirt, seriously like 94% of the time, because that's pretty much my life.  I can't complain though, I was hired as a fill in, part time person, and I work full time and then some.. I accidently wore my name tag to my Intro to Computers lab todayEmbarassed

    I'm a big Nordstrom Rack fan. Other than that I love Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, Anthro, and Charlotte Russe! (Charlotte Russe has AMAZING shoes and they always have buy a pair and get a second for $10.)

    I need a grown up persons closet. LOL. I love XXI and Hollister and Ross/Target/TJ Max and Kohls. I don't like spending a butt ton of money on clothes.. but I love shopping. weird I suppose. I do love VS tho! I'm short but I found that Levi's fit me better... any suggestions for other jeans that fit great for shorter people?

    I will say, that I was raised a bit of a name brand junky... But since I moved back to the states Ross has become my best friend when FI leaves. Whenever I'm down I just go there and the overwhelming store of crazy people and loads of unorganized clothes really helps distract me. :P
    TJ Maxx is AWESOME for decor stuff too!

    I have yet to find a pair of jeans that rock my world like 7 for mankind or .. anything from Buckle. I'm willing to pay the money for a rockin pair, but I just can find it... I think that's more of a self-image issue though than a fit issue />_< haha!

    amh I used to LOVE Hollister and A&F as well... I still sneak in there, but I try to be a big kid now.. I feel like I'm at that odd age where I'm a little too old for that, but still a little too young for places like the Loft and Gap.

    FTL, seriously same. I found the CUTEST printed maxi dress at TJ the other day (left by someone else in the dressing room no less!!!) that I'm swooning over--for $20!! And I go in my usual places and it's all meh. Maybe I'm just cheap because of the wedding? Now shoes on the other hand......there are no boundaries.
