my clothes are literally from all over. i really am a piece specific shopper, so if i want something i'll look high and low until i find the perfect one, regardless of where it comes from. i think the only places that i consistently shop is f21 and macy's for deals on shoes.
i guess the breakdown would be something like this
f21 -- 20%
macy's -- 10%
random nyc hoochie stores -- 10%
saks/bloomies/online -- 15% i usually go to them specifically to check out what's on sale
sample/warehouse sales -- 15%
boutiques & chainlets -- 20%
nat'l chains -- 10% i really don't own much from most of the major chains (gap/br/old navy) or even the more specialized ones (express, anthro, urbn) it's funny b/c i will always go into these stores. i just never end up buying stuff
Good poll. I'm looking down at what I'm wearing right now and it's ON & Target. I guess I shop those places a lot, although not Target anymore.
Old Navy, Target, & Nordies all get equal billing I think.
Vintage stores/thrift stores come next.
Banana (I went through a phase when I first started working so I have a ton of items in my closet from a couple seasons ago)
Random shops - every mall store probably has its place in my closet, although nothing predominantly stands out.
If there were a H&M around here, I'd suck that store dry. Everytime I'm in NYC, I go crazy. I still have purses from 3 years ago that people compliment me on. And pretty much anything I've purchased there. I don't want it to come to Austin, but San Antonio would be nice so I could stock up but no one else would be wearing it!!
I will shop anywhere, but the majority of the things I wear as a stay at home mom are from Gap. When I was working, the majority of my wardrobe was probably from Express.

That's tough, but I'd say I have a lot of Anthro stuff and quite a few pieces from Arden B. I buy all of my designer jeans off ebay. I also have a lot of stuff from Target, especially jewelry.
I used to be an Ann Taylor fiend, but not so much anymore.
