I still bought a lot via Twice but less thrifting and consignment in spring than in winter, but more eBay and Amazon. For 'regular' stores the counts are about the same with less Nordstrom &amp; Rack than in winter, and more Dress Barn. A few from Loft, ON, JCP, Kohl's, and DSW in both seasons. I could go back and compare to last year's tallies, or at least the ones for summer and fall once I started tracking it, but even I think that might be a bit excessive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year/page/2#post-1493289 Tue, 19 May 2015 00:39:53 +0000 Aida 1493289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actual purchases from Shopbop, Nordstrom, and Asos, along with an item here or there from Ann Taylor, GAP, LOFT, JCrew, Zara, and Club Monaco.I like "shopping" all over though.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year/page/2#post-1493280 Tue, 19 May 2015 00:31:06 +0000 kikidaly 1493280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just made some purchases on Ebay - RL peasant top, Some AT blouses, Talbots blouse and MK blouse - mostly everything was NWT! I Bought ASH sneakers on sale at Saks on 5th, and a couple MKs blouses from NM Last Call.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Will get out to TJMaxx soon because I have gift&nbsp;cards to use!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year/page/2#post-1493267 Mon, 18 May 2015 23:19:40 +0000 Thistle 1493267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AT and I are taking a break :)</p> <p>I bought some inexpensive maxi skirts from Target to see if I'll wear them.</p> <p>Nordstrom and Talbots are my two main go to choices, Nordstrom for more trendy pieces like my new culottes and white boyfriend jeans, Talbots for more traditional pieces like a navy pencil skirt and a pretty new knit cardigan and a black v neck spectator sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year/page/2#post-1493254 Mon, 18 May 2015 22:13:39 +0000 Marit K 1493254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wishing I was shopping at Lena Hoschek but it isn't practical for my SAHM lifestyle. Too many sticky jam hand hugs on my clothes to buy anything precious, at least for the next few years. I use to love GAP and J Crew but haven't found anything there in quite a while. I picked a dress up at LOFT last week and it has become the most complimented piece in my wardrobe so I am eager to pop back in next time I need an item of clothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year/page/2#post-1492845 Sun, 17 May 2015 17:51:41 +0000 Juny 1492845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been shopping very little, actually. Been shopping my own closet! I do have been liking J.Crew Factory &amp; Notdstrom, as well as the usual Old Navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year/page/2#post-1492841 Sun, 17 May 2015 17:13:58 +0000 Anonymous 1492841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't commented earlier because I drew a complete blank. &nbsp;I "have" been shopping, but I haven't been buying. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year#post-1492820 Sun, 17 May 2015 16:22:04 +0000 kkards 1492820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Banana Republic - and it's all been at a 40% discount. Surprisingly, I've bought nothing from jcrew this spring. The other surprise has been uniqlo. Ordered a bunch of tees, including some great long sleeve linen that are going to be the backbone of my casual wear this summer. I continue to shop nordies, and I've added some fab shoes from a local store </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year#post-1492809 Sun, 17 May 2015 15:58:55 +0000 rachylou 1492809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right now I'm really liking Nordies' Rack. I also hit up Ross and Burlington Coat Factory for entertainment a lot, because they're next to the pet store, hehe. But mostly I'm saving myself for summer dress shopping and a big trip out to the outer reaches to the *full-fledged* stores when summer is in full swing.</p> <p>You know, I like to shop a lot, but in small doses. Getting out for real shopping is a big production for me... Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year#post-1492759 Sun, 17 May 2015 14:22:06 +0000 retailgirl 1492759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nordstrom, talbots, Brooks brothers, but I didn't buy too much this spring. I have plenty,and anything that caught my eye would be duplication. Plus I'm contemplating retirement and I'm not going to need the type of clothes I love...jackets, tailored pants, crisp shirts and scarves. I'll have to figure out how to transition my work wardrobe into a casual one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year#post-1492757 Sun, 17 May 2015 14:12:45 +0000 Janet 1492757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have done very little shopping since last November, but I have noted that what little I've bought has come from Shopbop (two pairs of shoes, where I had a significant credit to use) or from Anthro (a dress, a top). A clutch from Nordstrom. And a couple of basic knit tees from TJMaxx, again courtesy of store credit. I haven't been in the stores much, so the temptation is lessened there, but there are a few things I've eyed online that I might check out now that I have more free time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year#post-1492755 Sun, 17 May 2015 14:06:00 +0000 retailgirl 1492755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nordstrom, talbots, Brooks brothers, but I didn't buy too much this spring.

Nothing new to add here, mostly the Bay, Aritzia, BR, and Nordstroms online (although exchange rate has been so bad that I've only bought a couple of items). There are a couple of smaller boutiques locally that I'd like to start shopping at. I noticed the other day they carry Kut jeans which could be fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year#post-1492731 Sun, 17 May 2015 12:40:57 +0000 Karie 1492731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This season my favorite places to shop have been Gap and J.Crew Factory. I haven't been to BR at all - missed the boat on that one because I like what I see on-line, but I'm done shopping for this season <i>(am I ever really done?)</i> - and I want to get to BR to try on the Sloan's, as they might fit my hard-to-fit-in-pants self.</p> <p>We're getting a Nordstrom Rack this fall and I couldn't be happier (well, I could be if it was a Nordstrom).&nbsp;</p> <p>I prefer shopping in the stores to shopping on-ine because I want the stores to stay in business, and I just plain like to shop (whether it's for me or someone else). I'll shop on-line if it's through a blogger I like for the same reason.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year#post-1492727 Sun, 17 May 2015 12:14:07 +0000 chadya 1492727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not been doing as much actual buying, always looking.<br />MarshMaxx has been offering me some nice things lately. <br />Bloomingdales, L&amp;T and Gap are my usual stops but I have been try to stop just buying as my needs are nil.&nbsp; Although 40% at Gap is so hard to say no to :-).</p> <p>MarshMaxx&nbsp; is my hybrid for Marshalls and TJMaxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year#post-1492715 Sun, 17 May 2015 11:46:26 +0000 Daria 1492715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here and there..

I'm always going to be a bargain hunter and don't mind turning lots of stones. Been moving away from adding essentials at places like Kohl's, Old Navy, and Nordstrom and toward more trend at, say, ASOS and even Target and F21. Even though I lean away from big chains normally, I've found that if I'm tracking down a particular look, it can be easier to find there. I'll still always check thrifts and boutiques and smaller retailers when I can, but my old way of shopping mainly those could get me into style trouble: a bunch of quirky things I liked but that had little glue (and it was usually bad emergency glue). I figure that when I'm ready to add quirk again, I'll have a better foundation to mix it with this time around.</p> <p>As always, I add a little jewelry to my collection at bargain prices from artisan shops and other cultures (Turkish, Indian, Vietnamese, Chinese, etc.) and vintage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year#post-1492662 Sun, 17 May 2015 06:19:21 +0000 Greyscale 1492662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This year: Banana Republic, Nordstrom Rack for higher end things.&nbsp;I like Madewell a lot, and sometimes I find edgier things there, but overall this year's styles aren't quite right for me.</p> <p>Some of last year's best bets aren't working out for me this year. Last year, AllSaints was perfect for me (after a few seasons that weren't as good a match), but not as much this year. Zara has really committed to the boho / 70s trend, which isn't my personal look.&nbsp;</p> <p>The biggest change for me is that I'm hardly buying anything at Crossroads, my favorite second-hand store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year#post-1492660 Sun, 17 May 2015 05:54:45 +0000 qfbrenda 1492660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just ordered a peasant-style top from Kohls but most of my shopping lately has been from Thred-Up. I also plan to try Twice.com sometime but haven't yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year#post-1492656 Sun, 17 May 2015 05:26:58 +0000 Wendi1984 1492656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Target, Old Navy, Nordstrom Rack, Loft, jcrewfactory.com. And Kohl's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year#post-1492642 Sun, 17 May 2015 04:29:04 +0000 AJ 1492642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My last 12 purchases were at Nordstrom Rack, Macy's, Loft, and Target. Usually I am a Kohl's and Old Navy shopper. Loft has been drawing me in with their summer friendly tops this season. Target has been right on trend with their boho accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year#post-1492626 Sun, 17 May 2015 03:40:45 +0000 Angie 1492626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have to say that BR is looking amazing this season. Their new design team is stellar. Very happy clients too. </p> <p>Been quite diasspointed with J. Crew - and I am usually a J.Crew gal. </p> <p> Zara, Club Monaco, Zappos and Nordies have been fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year#post-1492625 Sun, 17 May 2015 03:39:20 +0000 rizamei 1492625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've discovered that one of Lands End's styles of pants fits me perfectly at the hip and waist without need for alteration, so I've been ordering more than usual from there. I'm tiring of Loft, and rediscovering J Crew.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year#post-1492624 Sun, 17 May 2015 03:20:42 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1492624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been shopping mostly at Nordstrom, Gap, and Loft- none of these are new to me. I also bought a couple of DVF dresses on deep discount from Saks Off 5th, and I don't recall shopping there in the past. J Crew, BR, and AT have not been appealing to me this season, which is very unusual. My online to actual store ratio is about 75/25, same as always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year#post-1492606 Sun, 17 May 2015 02:25:50 +0000 deb 1492606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nordstrom, h &amp; m, amazon, just off&nbsp;the top of&nbsp;my head. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year#post-1492601 Sun, 17 May 2015 02:13:20 +0000 Jaime 1492601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mostly second hand of one sort or the other.

A denim summer dress/tunic and a several pair of wardrobe hole-plugging earrings, which are part of my minimum to feel dressed.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-are-you-enjoying-shopping-at-this-year#post-1492590 Sun, 17 May 2015 01:52:15 +0000 Windchime 1492590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nordstrom (never shopped their pre-YLF), Banana Republic, and Gap. I recently tried on several 1969 Resolution jeans at Gap and was ecstatic about the fit. I've also discovered that some J Crew pants and sweaters fit me really well. </p>
