 Topic: Where do you buy your clothes??
Posted: 27 April 2011 at 3:37pm |
I need a few bits and pieces for winter and I haven't found anything lately that I really like! I feel really ancient when I go into Glassons nowdays lol, I usually go and check out Shanton and JayJays and Cotton on are great for basics, I also like some of Ezibuys stuff. Where do you go to get clothes??

I agree with you on Glassons!
I shop at Max, Portmans, Ezibuy and JeansWest mainly.

Ha What are these shops you speak of?
Most mine come from the Warehouse now. Perhaps the odd thing from Farmers.
2nd hand shops 
I hate the mall so never go there

Jeans I buy from ballentynes they do them in lengths for short people like me.
Shanton, Postie and Ezibuy easy to wear and inexpensive clothes.
They fit.

Farmers, Max, Jeans West, Shanton, Ezibuy and Kmart. I actually discovered kmart has some cool stuff if you look and its really cheap and it lasts well

I like Glassons merino range this season.
I  Max but it's a bit spendy ATM as I'm trying to lose weight. In the meantime, I'm sticking with Glassons and Shanton.

Farmers, Glassons, Postie and Shanton. I feel like a nana when I go into Glassons, but I know I can generally find something pretty quickly that I will like for an okay price.
Ah, but back in the day it was Max, Principals and Portmans - how my budget (and shape) has changed

I too feel old going in to glassons and I'm (only) 24! I shop at farmers, the warehouse, shanton & I will admit the occasional thing from glassons.
I haven't bought myself anything 'nice' since DS was born yeah, that's right, I still wear maternity clothes

K-mart! Haha, but mostly I just hand-me-downs from my mother that don't fit her anymore.
My skinny jeans were $12 from K-mart, which is right up my alley.

Well, I've had to do a bit of a shop for me lately and got gears from Farmers, K-Mart and Warehouse... go the Easter sales 
Actually felt weird spending on clothes for me and not DS, but I really needed to. Last winter I was in preggy clothes and none of my outfits from the winter before fit - too big

Aw, thank you, that's really nice of you.  I definitely don't spend a lot on clothes, I think it's unnecessary!
You obviously haven't seen me in my lazy day clothes. Ancient track pants and such.

Farmers mostly a couple of tops from pumpkin patch maternity, and very occasionally the warehouse. Can't wait to lose this pre-baby weight when I'm not UTD anymore so I can go into other shops

Missshell, you will have to take me shopping to show me some tips! You really do look great!
I cant wait to not be BFing and PG and wear normal clothes that look pretty and not worry about growing bumps and how easy it is to get my boobs out!

Wanna agree with kmart aswell! Just got some long-sleeved tops from there for $12 each and they do have a bit of detailing as well not completely plain. Also got my skirt that I wear to work from there as well - $30 and still going strong!
I gotta say I actually like glassons! I'm a girly girl though so the frills and lace etc. are right up my alley And I like navy and purple and peach and all the colours they've got in there right now

Where I shop and where I'd like to shop are tw different things lol. My lack of funds means I have to shop at the likesof Kmart, Farmers etc but I'd ideally love to shop at witchery, surreal, portmans etc.
I do have some portmans stuff but they are my work clothes. My everyday clothes are from Kmart, Glassons, Farmers, Cotton On etc etc. Although I'm starting to get clever and can mix and match things from the 'cheaper' stores and make them look flash lol. II have been getting comments lately on what I wear and people are like 'WHAT?!' when they find out that the whole outfit cost $50 haha. Never thought I'd see the day. Oh how priorities change. And at least now I can be more idividual with what I wear.
Oh and dressmart is great too. Been able to grab some bargains from General Issue and Country Road!!
