    New York & Company is great for stuff I can wear to work, but is still cute enough to wear outside of it. Love the cardigans and dresses.

    Express is WONDERFUL. Wonderful wonderful. I bought the most amazing turtleneck sweater there, and it was pretty cheap too. Though that turtleneck ripped because it was of thin soft material.



    RIP TURTLE NECK.

    H&M is a bit of haystack because once and a while you find an amazing find, but mostly it's just stuff that's scratchy and has weird measurements.

    I like Hollister and Abercrombie & Fitch sweaters. Their camis are pretty, but they're not made for girls who've actually hit the point in puberty called hip development, so they look weird on me if they're worn with anything over it that shows a great deal of the cami as opposed to just layer.

    I like stuff from Victoria's Secret. I only buy underwear and bras from Victoria's Secret now. There are no exceptions, because they all feel so nice on me. Underwear is one of those things that I just won't go cheap on.

    Victoria's Secret Pink is also nice too. The sweatpants don't suit me as a style, but I like their jackets and t-shirts. They're selling cardigans now which made me cream myself.

    Simply Vera Wang makes the nicest summer nightwear.

    Incidently, The Gap doesn't have clothing I like very much, but they have the most amazing stuff for guys. I love the male models in The Gap and what they wear. Ohhhh, argyle sweaters! I loved making Hux go in there and being like "TRY THIS ON. "

    For shoes, I'll go DSW. That is the only discount store that's not a total mess and makes me want to throw up. It's clean, and neat, and well lit and the sales are always good. I once bought a pair of Guess wedges that were originally 100 dollars - for 15 DOLLARS. I recently bought a pair of Steve Madden suede boots there for only like, 40 or 50 dollars, when they were originally over 100, I think, because my roommate had bought them when they just came out.

    I've found that I've learned to definitely pay extra for quality because I've always had a really difficult figure to dress (curvy hips, small waist, huge eyetie butt, smaller upperbody, but boobs that can be too big for some things - and I'm only 5'0"). I've been raised extremely frugal and I've tried shopping that way, but then I look like a weird little sad case. Anything cheap I buy, I usually have to get tailored.

    Bags are the one thing I tend to go really funky and thrifty on. I've had and worn Coach bags, Louis Vuitton bags and all of that, but I've also worn those neat Andy Warhol tote bags (I love the one with the soup cans still a bunch), this really cool long bag shoulder bag that goes down to my knees from Tibet.

    I found a place that does the most amazing knock-off bags, that everyone around me thinks they're real. They're pricy, but I'd rather pay $80 dollars for a knock-off that had everyone fooled, than $20 dollars for an embarassing knock-off, or $1500 for the original bag.
    Let's go shopping.

    I'm not a big designer label person but there are a few brands I like..
    - David & Goliath, it's a fun brand that makes cute shirts and pyjamas and things, kinda expensive though so I don't get things often :x
    - Surfy brands like Animal and Roxy. I just quite like surfy clothing because it is a bit of a dream of mine to live by the seaside and I like the bright and fun designs of that sort of clothing :3 Also I find the bags Animal makes are really good quality and always last me ages.
    - For shoes I like anything fun but I do quite like Converse as they make bright, fun and comfy shoes

    I seriously feel like us going shopping would be the best thing in the world for us, and a disaster for the rest of the world. We'd be like Kelly in the Shoes video. xD

    Oh, I forgot about DSW. They do have some nice shoes. I got my graduation shoes from there actually. Pretty decent sales.

    Every other discount store like TJ Maxx and Marshalls can burn up for all I care, but I need DSW forever.

    Urban outfitters is actually alright. I remember them having some stuff I liked when I went into one in New York.

    It's sooo expensive over here! I have a bag from there which cost about £30, and a scarf that cost me £20. Shocking!

    I don't remember anything about the prices. Although, I think I bought some really cool brick red shoes in there, and they weren't that expensive I don't think? I don't know. It is probably expensive in general there.

    It's obviously an American company so it was probably reasonable, wheras over here it's like ££££.

    No, Urban Outfitters is expensive here too. They have an branch company called Anthropologie that makes the cutest clothing and the shops are GORGEOUS and are set up like in a African archaeological sort of way, but they're even more ridiculously expensive than UO for clothes that are made of relatively cheap material. Their nice casual dresses are AT LEAST $100+ dollars. Usually closer to 300.

    I am considering buying this dress though from their shop:
