Lord & Taylor- because it's my Mom's favorite so I'm usually in store a lot. Banana Republic-I just purchased a few things after a long hiatus from them.

With the latter, I stalk items online and buy in-store (if they don't have it, shipping for in-store POS orders is free). I also like to shop Zappos and Amazon for shoes (in addition to Nordie's), but my size is hard to find and my feet are fussy so I've learned to be wide-ranging in the shoe search. I keep up with Everlane new releases although often their aesthetic is too minimal for me and return shipping costs turn me off from trying items that may not fit. I have a straight upper half, so I can order tops from them knowing that they'll fit predictably based on the model shot. I also try to shop fast fashion/mall stores like Express, Banana Republic, Gap, Old Navy, H&M... strangely not Zara, which seems overpriced for the inconsistent quality (and lack of petite sizes). But as my quality and fabrication meters have gotten pickier, I've bought less from those stores.

Secondhand, discount, and handmade -- that's me! I think Uniqlo would probably come in 6th though. Locally, I really only shop consignment stores -- here in LV it's usually BuffEx or Plato's Closet, and the annual garage sale at REI. I live within walking distance of Nordstrom Rack and DSW, but never have luck there.  Greyscale on "Places to shop" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/places-to-shop#post-1577189 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 17:25:04 +0000 Greyscale 1577189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I realized I have records of this, so in terms of what I actually bought in the past year: Crossroads Trading Co (resale) Gap Wasteland (resale) Nordstrom Rack Banana Republic Runners-up are Madewell and Everlane. Amazingly, it's exactly what I predicted, except I guessed Everlane would be in my top 5 instead of Banana Republic.

I'm not sure how to count Amazon - I've started ordering clothes/shoes from them, but I never start there to search, it's just that I opt for them when they have the lowest price on a brand I buy. Especially shoes - I've found much better deals on Amazon for shoes recently than at Zappos, which I used to shop all the time and I haven't much this year. The online/B&M distinction is a factor, too. There are some stores that are only online/catalog, of course (Lands' End, Garnet Hill, Boden). There are some stores that only carry my size/length online even though they have B&M stores (Loft, Gap) and I only go into the stores to return online orders or on impulse because I'm at the mall. Then there are stores I never shop online and only in person - Dress Barn, Kohl's, DSW, and for some reason Talbots - I look at their stuff online and like it, but never seem to pull the trigger, but in person it's much more dynamic and appealing.
