Mandee is offering us a 20% discount on their already affordable clothing.
Now, a few thoughts about shopping juniors. On the plus side, junior offerings are generally fun, trendy, and inexpensive. On the minus is shopping environment, specifically the noise. Yet another reason to shop online!
Junior clothing is the “skinny” segment of the women’s clothing market. My strategy is this: because my figure type lends itself to smallness in tops (misses tops are often too wide, too short, with darts too low), I shop juniors for tops and jackets, keeping in mind to go up a size or two (I wear a medium in juniors but a small or even extra small in misses). Generally I can barely get junior jeans past my knees, or if I get them all the way on there is this monstrous gap in the back.
Although they don’t sell many of the luxury fabrics and career looks I like, junior retailers can be a great source for cotton basics as well as an affordable place to grab something fun. I need more fun. 8)
You do better in the juniors department than I do Rebecca, I can wear tees & tanks, and that’s about it!
I’m surprised the pants don’t work for you. But not really, they’re probably acres too long. Recently I tried some jeans that I could’ve mopped the floor with! But at least it’s a good source of cheap, colorful tees and tanks.
I don’t do so well with the junior sizes but Mandee’s was the store where I originally spotted that icy brown tweed reverse herringbone coat I was drooling over.
I’ll not be shopping junior but I sometimes walk through just to enjoy the colour and fresh looks. A grown woman has to be careful- those smock tops that make you look pregnant were just atrocious. I do love Mexx- sophisticated looks and cool fabrics.
Vildy – that coat sounded so wonderful! Now that I know Mandee’s is where you saw it, I’ll definitely be watching them!
