I'm 22 and mostly shop at JeansWest, Max, and the odd thing from the surf stores .. Get work clothes from Stax (um AMAZING prices on the sale racks got 2 dresses that were rrp $140each reduced reduced etc and ended up coming in at $15each!)
I like to buy merino/basics etc from glassons cos its cheaper then anywhere else.
I was preg last winter and it sucked! Need a nice range of clothing thats a tiny bit fashionable ... lived in my jeanswest maternity jeans (everyone thought i was crazy wearing black skinnys ;))
I really need to sort my clothing out have far to many .. some don't fit (too small or too big), some can't bf in and some mmmm aren't mummy tummy friendly!!

oh yeah I forgot about kmart, they do have some great stuff and reasonably priced too!!  We dont have stax or portmans or Jeanswest here unfortunately.  I am always looking, used to find some nice stuff at the warehouse too but havent for awhile.  I love clothes shopping!!

Glassons (though only their plainer things, not in to lace or half t-shirts!) Cotton on, Jay jays, Jeans west, tempt. Don't think I have brought anything at full price for a very long time but do feel a little boring in the way I dress!

Gosh, I haven't bought anything for ages.
I love Max, especially their jeans which fit really nicely.
Just Jeans used to be good but I haven't found anything I like in there lately.
I've been trying to find some nice lightweight jersey's for work that don't show muffin top....the search is still on-going, I can't seem to find anything
I find we are pretty limited around here clothing wise.

I try to buy clothes just a few times a year and I like to invest in stuff that will last so I tend to spend quite a bit of money to get quality. I get really annoyed when I buy something cheap like from Valley Girl and I wear it a few times and it ends up shrinking in the wash or stretching and the fabric looks horrible. I have work clothes from Max that I still wear five years later (back when Max was Max and not just an extension of Ezibuy like it is now ).

Haha your lucky LR - my shape has changed so much for better and worse over the last 5 years ha-ha.

I love Jeans West, Farmers, Just Jeans, merino tops from Glassons and their cardis, Max especially their tunics, odd thing at Tempt, I use to love Emerge from Ezibuy but think it's gone a bit like glassons now - or maybe I'm just older ha-ha.

shopping? what is this foreign thing you speak of??

ok but seriously, aside from the couple of maternity things I bought (from the warehouse and Kmart) I have hardly been shopping in the past year or so. And when I have it has been the odd thing from glassons, farmers, warehouse, used to be pagani. but nowadays i have no idea. most of my clothes are ancient haha.

I've been struggling to find stuff for this winter in the lower end of the market - don't even bother looking in Portmans, Max etc as I just can't afford it - all my income goes to chilcare and student loan unfortunately.

So I shop at KMart, Warehouse, Farmers, Shanton, Glassons (although wasn't impressed when I went in yesterday), trademe lol and very occasionally will go to Staxs to look at the sales racks. I don't have enough funds to have work clothes and home clothes, so everything I buy has to be able to be dressed up or dressed down. In saying that, I did buy an awesome satin winter tunic at Farmers yesterday, which will look awesome with a long sleeve top underneath, leggings, low belt and boots

I still shop at glassons i'm 24, mostly there basics and merino. I LOVE there plain cardee's. I'm desperate for a new pair of jeans that fit. I have some from the warehouse that are now too big and I wear them with DH's belt. LOL.
I've just doen a bit of 'me' shopping cause I really had nothing that fitted me properly. I got lots of tops from Jeans west (1 shrunk in first wash ) and glassons. Oh and I love cotton on too.

I get annoyed with jayjays, valleygirl tempt, supre...cause its all stuff thats seems to shrink and its annoying.

 im terrible , i go to the mall to buy something for myself and ALWAYS end up skipping me and going into pumpkin patch or cotton on kids and getting Amelia yet another item of clothing she is going to outgrow in 3 months . I think maybe it has somethign to do with the fact that the kids stuff is just so much prettier and nicer than adults stuff lol . Yesterday i splurged a bit and spent a whole $70 on myself at glassons , i got a marino long top thing i can wear over tights and some basic singlets but thats definatly the most iv spent on clothes for a while , I like dotti for jeans , they have these skinny jean / jegging type things that dont look like jeggings at all that i love but the fabric is quite thin and is wearing out a bit so i may need to get a new pair soon as i live in them! i occassioonaly go to just jeans and portmans but i havent found anything i like there for a while . I actually dont find i like many clothes now , not like i use to . i use to love fashion but i really dont find much around that suits my taste.

Hehe, I know! Although I do love that so many styles at the moment (and more so last pregnancy) are suitable for doubling as maternity gear! But yes, I always think to myself when I buy tops "is this going to flash the whole world when I BF?" and if the answer is yes, then I don't buy it

I feel ancient when I go to glassons too, but they have some awesome black pants with a big wide bellyband on top that make splendid maternity pants. So I've been there recently, but only for those. I often try shanton, but I find I either like lots of things or nothing. I do like stax, but stick to the sale items. Pagani is good for summer dresses. I desperately need some more home clothes though - all the ones I have are covered in paint etc from our renovations and I feel really shabby if someone shows up

mostly Kmart and the warehouse sometimes farmers.

I hate spending alot of money on one item, i love shopping for clothes but am very picky when it comes to the price. my mil has no problen turning up my jeans so no point spending so much when its fixed so easily.
kmart and warehouse have alot of diff style jeans for $20 which is awsome timing for me.
