[Tat2dbeauty07]

I think the next time I go out Im going to wear it with my holy jeans and the little crop jacket I bought to go with it. I need a night out havent had one in awhile.

 

[LMD84]

seriously hun, never let people tell you that you shouldm't wear certain things. if you are happy and comfortable then who cares!

Just found this site


ASOS.com ? The Online Fashion Store
They have a cute plus line from what I can see. I believe they are UK based but they ship internationally and the shipping isnt that bad.

I dont know if I mentioned if before but Dots I went up their and got a white spaghetti strap tank for 6.00 I tend to wear these under almost all my shirts and 2 other shorts one in black one in white and its ruches down the center for like 12.00 ea

I love Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug, Torrid, and JCPenneys. Starting to like Target's selection too.

i bought a cute black dress at old navy last week.. it was like $10.50 and surprisingly trendy (most of their stuff to me is more on the classic, conservative side). i wore it to a club in atlantic city and have gotten a lot of compliments on it.

I found a cute summer maxi dress at Walmart...it was $25. Not bad...I'd pay around $30+ from something on eBay not including shipping.

My "cute" finds at Walmart are few and far between.

I feel like last year's Walmart and Target had such a great selection... and this year it's totally blah. Too much wood beading, it's too heavy.

Do ya'll have Winners in the U.S? lol

Its like....a bargain pickers dream. I'm not really for picking (unless I'm in the mood). But the prices can be a steal sometimes.

And someone mentioned checking out a store in the U.S called Deb? Is this the brand name or a store name?

great post

i used to be plus sized and i wore a lot of things from Lane Bryant.

i know it's a real cheapie store but there is a place called rainbow- some of the stuff is on the hoochie side- which isn't always the worst thing!- and i shop there for tops and little things to go out in and often wish their regular stuff was as cute as the plus sized things. cheap but fun.

Deb is the store name.

Winners is like TJ Maxx or Marshall's in the US I believe.

After much thought, Torrid sure is hella expensive!

I just found the same skinny jeans that I bought in Torrid in Dressbarn Women~
Dressbarn sells their virtual stretch skinny jeans under the name Fade To Blue for $29.99 and Torrid sells theirs under the name Source of Wisdom for $48.00!!

Dressbarn Women is the BEST place to go for clothing. They've got new designers working for them, and their collections are really flattering and really awesome.

Really? When I think Dressbarn I think older woman. I should pay them a visit. It's really hard finding skinny jeans that fit right.

 

[NotteRequiem]

I used to think that too, and then I went in and was very, very surprised. They're very much trying to get into a younger, edgier crowd. When you go in, don't just look at what they have on the rack, go piece by piece.

They don't have much in the way of skinny jeans, [I've never liked those personally, I feel it emphasizes the wrong places on my body] but they DO have some nice jeans and classy tops.

Thanks. Like many people have Torrid has some really nice stuff, but they are really expensive.

Very glad you agree ladies I used to work there and might join back one day. I will say though some things in dressbarn are at Ross, Sears, and Dillards.The plus size alittle less so but you can find things cheaper.

But yes, if you can afford it go! There are some cute dresses around the Spring and some sale dresses from Winter that are formal. As well as jeans and career pants and top and all that.

I will admit you have to go item-by-item to look for young things but it can be rewarding! Also ask what stores are top selling stores in your area; the more successful the store the better and younger the things!

And they do layaway and call for different sizes and mail them from store to store for free!

Also for discounts go on their facebook (they'll give 20% coupons from time to time) and print multiple coupons and if you're that in love get on the mailing list.

You can now shop online at Dressbarn.com too and they deliver to your house or your nearest Dressbarn store. So you can try your stuff on in store and return/exchange it right then and there.

another place I didnt see mentioned you can't shop their site but if you have a store by you Maurices a little pricey at times but I did get a cute white top that had a lace bodice I wore for mine and my daughters pictures it was 28.00 the same top later came to torrid for 38.00

Maurices is owned by Dressbarn as is Justice. The quality at Maurices is lower than Dressbarn.The expectations on what they want teens to pay (or at least the aesthetic atmosphere. Maurice's is quite cute inside.) is ridiculous. A $90 pair of jeans at Maurices didn't compare to this $29.99 pair that had Seven For All Mankind-ish pocket stitching on it.

You can find some similar accesories for cheaper like Dressbarn's jewelry hangers, Dressbarn's $19.99 in wht/blk/pnk only, Marices' $14.99 in multi colors and designs. It's just a matter of looking.

Otherwise, online, zappos.com carries a lot of shoes 10+ and you can sort by size so you don't get all heartbroken when the hot heels you love only go up to a 7.5.

Also Endless.com they have a decent selection of size 11 shoes and they offer free shipping. Occationally it gets bumped up to free overnight shipping.

Endless.com is Amazon.com disguised to make you pay more for two day shipping. If you look up the same shoe name/brand and sizes available you notice both sizes match exactly.

So you're paying more for Endless's aesthetics and what they specially try to sell, shoes and handbags.

Go through Amazon and you'll get free shipping and pay less.

I agree completely with you now, Torrid sux! The quality of clothes in there are getting to be Ross-like at deparment prices. There are few things I like anymore.


They're charging what they do to keep up the look of the store and license the latest music in their speakers.
