Shopping

Hey! I am in need of some back to school clothes, and I am hitting a brick wall. I've checked TJMaxx, Gap and Banana outlet, Macy's, and Ebay. Where else should I look? I like preppy stuff, like cardigans, feminine dress shirts, basically if Banana sells it, I love it. I am heading back to Banana tomorrow, but I'm wondering if I'm forgetting someplace great. Suggestions?

Re: Shopping

  • I found stuff at JC Penney, Kohls, Gap and American Eagle recently.
  • JCrew? Ann Taylor Loft? White House/ Black market?  every so often I can find a couple cute things at Peter Harris (but its totally hit or miss)

    oh they have the eddie bauer outlet near target that sometimes has good stuff...

    also I like the jewelry at coldwater creek...and sometimes they have youngish looking clothes (for our generation)

  • I would also say Ann Taylor Loft.  There one downtown is kinda small but still has plenty of cute professional stuff.
  • Ann Taylor also has a store in Stuy plaza.  I like it there plus they have teacher discounts.  What about NY and Co?
  • You're a teacher, right? Fyi, I was at the Outlets near here (Waterloo) on Saturday and they gave my friend who is a teacher 15% off her purchase. It was at J Crew, but I think it may be an outlet-wide thing. I never saw signs up, so if you go back definitely ask!

  • It sounds silly, but do you have a Dress Barn near you?  I am usually a Loft shopper, but I have found some surprisingly cute outfits there for cheap!  I wish that they would change their name to something a little sexier, though.  Dress Barn sounds like where you go to pick up a new housecoat for Grandma!

  • I recently bought some stuff at Loft and NY and Co. I was also in The Limited today and they had sweater vests and button downs for 40% off and you can get your teacher discount there too. Check Target too. I'm like you, I could wear a cardigan everyday. I'm trying to branch out.

    Moxy, I agree- I've seen some cute things in there, but I'm always leery of shopping there for that exact reason!

    HA! The name is why I have always avoided the place! Thanks for all of the suggestions!
