My point is more that you shouldn't discard a retailer just because you don't regularly shop there. </p> <p>It doesn't matter where you shop - as long as what you have works, fits, is within your means,&nbsp;and makes you happy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-my-clothes-come-from#post-1255899 Mon, 19 May 2014 22:05:56 +0000 Suz 1255899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm away from home at the moment, so I can't do an accurate count. But I know I buy primarily from places that have online shopping in Canada with free returns! That includes Zara and Banana Republic.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also buy quite a bit at Nordstrom's and pick it up across the border.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-my-clothes-come-from#post-1255885 Mon, 19 May 2014 21:43:52 +0000 kellygirl 1255885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Having seen your WIWs, I would never guess that your wardrobe&nbsp;came from such few sources. I don't think it says anything about your style except that you know what you like and you know where to find it. Do you ever shop Madewell? Zara? I would think those would suit your style too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-my-clothes-come-from#post-1255870 Mon, 19 May 2014 21:24:26 +0000 cinnamon fern 1255870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Because I'm procrastinating on doing something boring, I decided to figure out where I actually buy, and keep, stuff. &nbsp;I counted all the brands I have more than two items from. &nbsp;It was surprisingly few:</p> <p>(1) Uniqlo! &nbsp;#1 by a big margin. &nbsp;(But my vast collection of Uniqlo tees and tanks probably cost the same as one Theory jacket.)</p> <p>(2) Eileen Fisher. &nbsp;Everything except pants.</p> <p>(3) Gap/BR. &nbsp; Jeans etc. &nbsp;I like all this stuff OK, but I can't say I love any of it.</p> <p>(4) Theory. &nbsp;Clothes for when I want to look all professional. &nbsp;</p> <p>(5) J Crew. &nbsp;I was surprised how much stuff I have from J Crew, since I think of it as a store where nothing fits me, and I often roll my eyes at the styling in the catalogue.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Apparently I follow the opposite of Angie's strategy, leave no retail stone unturned.</p> <p>What does this say about my style? &nbsp;Where else should I be shopping?<b></b></p>
