A couple of weeks ago, I found a brand new Banana Republic knee-length, snap front, dark wash, fitted denim dress! I had been looking for the PERFECT denim dress for over a year. It pays to check out consignment AND thrift shops on a regular basis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-find-cute-casual-clothing-over-40#post-224236 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 23:08:26 +0000 MsMary 224236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm coming back to add that recently I have had ridiculously good luck at my local consignment store. I think I've been the beneficiary of others' shopping mistakes because a lot of the stuff is brand new, even with tags! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-find-cute-casual-clothing-over-40#post-224213 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 21:14:39 +0000 AJ 224213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So baseballmom94, what stores did you get to? </p> <p>I'm more of a budget shopper but I try to be picky and buy items with interesting or expensive looking details. Outlet malls are a favorite of mine as well as Stein Mart, Marshall's, Target, Old Navy and sometimes I can find good sales at Macy's and Nordstroms. However, I also do what Angie says and check out every store I can. : ) A new discovery of mine for inexpensive accessories is Compass Trading Co.<br /> <a href="http://compasstradingco.com/" rel="nofollow">http://compasstradingco.com/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-find-cute-casual-clothing-over-40#post-224189 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 19:52:20 +0000 lynne 224189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm 54, and shop all Jonesy's choices. I'm trying to branch out and shop more independent boutiques. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-find-cute-casual-clothing-over-40#post-224150 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 18:16:36 +0000 Jonesy 224150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At 43, I shop at the same places I've shopped at for the past 10 years: Gap, Banana Republic, J. Crew, Ann Taylor, Loft, Anthropologie, Nordstrom, Target, occasionally Talbots. I do tend to spend more now on quality shoes/boots/bags and basics, and I buy a ton of stuff online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-find-cute-casual-clothing-over-40#post-224148 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 18:08:39 +0000 MsMary 224148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm 52 and echo the above suggestions. I especially love Macy's, too. They have great sales and a good selection. I also love Talbots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-find-cute-casual-clothing-over-40#post-224049 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 13:42:06 +0000 Barbara 224049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm 56 and love fresh, modern casual style. Target, JCPenney, TJMaxx, Marshalls, SteinMart, Belks, Dillards, Macys, Ann Taylor are favorite stores. I agree with Queen Mum, don't rule out the high end stores like Nordstrom and Saks. It's fun to browse for inspiration and perusing is free! Once, I scored a free Chanel lipstick at Saks just because I wandered by their counter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-find-cute-casual-clothing-over-40#post-224039 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 13:23:34 +0000 MNsara 224039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the above suggestions. </p> <p>I'm even older at 52, and I have good luck at Macy's. Macy's often has great items on sale/clearance, lots of departments to choose from (sometimes too many departments!), and with coupons or whatever I usually spend not much more than regular Target prices for much better quality merchandise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-find-cute-casual-clothing-over-40#post-224025 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 12:53:00 +0000 chewyspaghetti 224025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My post got eaten, but I suggested most of the same places as Queen Mum, and added Lucky Brand </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-find-cute-casual-clothing-over-40#post-224022 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 12:50:57 +0000 Queen Mum 224022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on a shopping hiatus, so I haven't been perusing the stores lately but I wanted to welcome you to the forum. I'm *almost* 45 so I know the struggle...<br /> I'm not sure what your price range is, but I have some luck at Ann Taylor Loft, Macy's, New York and Company (hit and miss), Gap....<br /> I had written off Old Navy, but Kristen just scored some stuff there so you might want to check them out.<br /> Don't write off the higher end stores. I'm starting to realize that my quickly aging body needs the polish and detail that the more quality merchandise offers. I never would have set foot in Nordstrom a year ago, but have recently become a fan. You can get some decent deals there, and I have come to realize that a few great quality items make me feel so much better than a dozen "value" items.<br /> What types of styles are you looking for? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-find-cute-casual-clothing-over-40#post-224016 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 12:32:07 +0000 baseballmom94 224016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My friend and I (she is 49 and I'm 45) are going shopping today. We're both having trouble finding clothing for our age group/lifestyle (stay at home moms but always on the go). She is about a size 6 and I'm an 8. What stores have great stuff this year but not too pricey? </p>
