Where do you buy most of your clothing from and why?

Topshop for jeans - they do a style that flatters the shape of my thighs
Topshop for underwear (cheap)
Debenhams for bras (i like the shape they give me, and most highst chains like topshop don't go up to my size)
most of my clothes are tk-maxx in all honesty.
then miss selfridge and topshop etc
H&M for general clothes. because they're cheap and my kinda style. especially the kids section, which rocks my shortarse socks off.
ark or WRC in leeds if i'm in need of a treat of the urban type streetwear variety.
tammy for cheap random stuff.
la senza for bras, cause they're the only ones that seem to fit properly.
and i get jeans from abercrombie and fitch off ebay cause they fit me perfectly - i have quite a short body, and most jeans have 3 inches too much crotch. plus if you buy from the US sellers they're a total bargain. my last ones were £15 including international shipping. yes please.
then i get bits and bobs from all over - topshop/miss selfridge/dotty p/dodge corn exchange shops/pop boutique/t k maxx/warehouse/oasis/woolies kids department
and whatever cool stuff they have in the charity shops around and about.
and then i make my own stuff.
Tesco because I'm often broke but their stuff fits nicely and I really like a lot of it.
Charity shops 'cos you can get lots of cool, unusual stuff
Primark
H&M
Dothery Perkins
Top Shop
New Look
Mk One
miss selfridge
International (sp)
Bay
Tk Max
That is it I think.
Cruise, Ice, Open, Urban Outfitters, Envy, Cecil Gee, House of Fraisers, USC, Debenams, then shops like Topman, Burtons, River Island and verrry occasionally Flip and Cult.
Only reason is I like theire stuff, and you can mix and match it to create different styles (from each other, before any smart arse starts). Also, I don't go for plain jeans, t-shirts etc. and these shops provide alot of alternatives :razz:
Admittedly TK Maxx has some nice stuff, but's a total pain in the arse trawling through aisles of shite to find it so I generally steer clear.
then top shop, h&m, miss selfridge, warehouse, zara, oasis (very occasionally), house of frasier. and i really want to go to primark because my friend just bought a yellow ra ra skirt for £6!
if i want an outfit which i have set in my mind i usually trawl every single shop until i find it. but theyre the main ones ^
Shit, forgot Diesel. Them too :razz:
My jeans are all Levi's, Calvin Kleins, 1 pair of Quiksilver, some Diesel, and Lee make great jeans, though I had to throw both of mine out, as I have worn them out, and they were ripped and ugly (after three and two years of use).
H&M are getting cool again.
Most of my T-shirts are either dirt-cheap (from supermarkets or unknown brands) or American brands such as Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Donna Karen, Tommy etc.
I'm not trying to sound like a dick here, but why? Most people are gonna be seeing your clothes and not your underwear, so why spend so little and so much respectively?
Apart from that I get my stuff from the Argos catalogue, George@ASDA, New Look etc. Not been shopping for ages though.....
Shoes i shop mainly at office and sole trader
Clothes Frank a shop in cambridge, and topshop and sometimes TkMaxx oh and cult sometimes too. Cheap tops from primark tho.
Also, I pick up a lot of stuff when I'm over in the USA, my favourites being cheap levis, gasoline jeans, MUDD jeans, anything from Gadzooks and L.E.I. jeans. Oh and I LOVE WetSeal and Express Jeans!
I get most of my shoes from River Island although I LOVE my Rocketdog boots and shoes.
Ilora x
I love stuff from Miss Sixty, Animal and Quicksilver so I buy a lot of stuff from those shops.
For underwear I usually go to Primark or M&S.
Talking of underwear though my friend recently paid £130 for a bra and a thong :eek: :crazyeyes
Plus i go to shops in town which are your teenage girl cheapy shops if you get me
And another thing that's very annoying is that shops who do stock that size tend to do so in their less sexy ranges like those aimed at young teens, not foxy ladies!
