Fashion Help

Before I got pregnant I was fashionable...I swear. Somewhere along the way I lost all sense.

I need to find a dress to wear to three weddings this fall. I'm not looking for anything super fancy (not my style). I looked at JCrew and Anthro and they are out of my price range. Gap didn't have anything. I'm skipping over to TJMaxx at lunchtime.

Where else can I look? I'm drawing a blank.

  • I am loving the INC maxi dresses at Macys right now... I bought 2 of them on sale recently.

    I would suggest Macy's as well.  JC Penny sometimes has some cute dresses as well, but they are hit or miss.  The other option would be the Dress Barn - next to the mall.  They tend to have cute dresses that are usually on sale.  I actually just got one there for a wedding not to long ago.

  • In our area I have actually found two awesome dresses for weddings at Mardens in Waterville...but of course they are totally hit or miss. (My favorite is an amazing dress I got there for .99!) Hopefully you'll have good luck at TJMaxx!

    I agree with Target, I have come across some really cute things there!

    I would say try Dress Barn as well - They have one next to Old Navy in Augusta now! If your up that way Kohls usually has a similar selection to JC Penney and they have pretty good sales.

  • In our area... I would try Maurices in Waterville. I love Maurices! They don't have a huge selection, but you can definitely find some cute things there. They are right next to JC Penney. :)

  • I was going to suggest Old Navy, Kohl's, maybe Deb's and yes there is a Dress Barn next to ON too.  Is there anything different in Topsham? Maybe check downtown Wtvl to see if there is something different too

  • Back when I had a job that didn't require scrubs, I LOVED Ann Taylor Loft! I could find great deals there-- $200 blazers for $40, that kind of thing. They have a classic look, much like J.Crew and such, so if that's your style, I would definitely check them out...

  • I really like Ann Taylor and ATL.  Loft is a little bit cheaper, but it seems like everyone's having sales right now, so you might be able to get a deal on something.  If you do order from AT/ATL, they're having 30% off until Sunday with the code FRIENDS.

    ETA: Oh, also, there's a store in Freeport called The Co/Op that has freakishly low prices on nice stuff...Anthro, etc.  I haven't been able to get to Fpt. during when they're open yet, but DH's coworkers all rave about it.

  • Boden has some great dresses on clearance online right now.  I just ordered this one for the fancy NJ wedding rehearsal dinner (country club attire, whatever that means).

  • I concur on the Marden's suggestions, that's where I just got one for a wedding this summer.  A couple other weddings I've found some great dresses at Goodwill!
