Where Would You Shop?
Choosing where to shop these days is half the battle. If you haven’t determined where you would shop if you had a greater budget, there’s no better time than Winter Clearance season on the entire calendar.
By fashion personality types, a few pointers:
- If your style is purely functional, then it only makes sense to shop at those places which are most convenient for you. Most fun, too. This probably accounts for the fact that the stores I would choose to shop at, if money were no object, are all within a few doors of each other.
- A few chains cater somewhat to the Romantic, but the frequently overlooked western-type store is worth a look.
- What kind of classic are you? Classics of various shapes and sizes have probably already noticed that Talbots is offering 25% off already reduced clearance prices.
- True or false: For the contemporary classic, who mixes classic pieces into uniquely personal ensembles, the trick is to select the store that suits your age category?
- What I am really waiting for is the big reductions at Ann Taylor. For me, their stuff is primarily dressy social. If I were glamorous, I’d wear it for everyday.
- Now I realize that a true trendsetter is not going to be pinned down about where to shop, so I’m just going to throw out one suggestion: there’s lots of crazy bargains at the discounters (TJMaxx, Nordstrom Rack, and the clearance centers).
Allow me to be transparent. My reason for a post of this type is mainly to find out — where do you like to shop?
For the mom who wants to look modern, without going out on a limb, I highly recommend the look of 
Karen Walker Spring 07, Coutorture photo. I’ve never been one to fuss with suspenders, or risk white pants, still there’s something fetching about this ensemble.
