I absolutely love shopping at Hot Topic and Sanrio.  They always have the cutest little things there, and don't even get me started on Hello Kitty!  Probably somewhere near a half of everything I own has been Kitty-fied in one way or another.  The one nice thing about Hot Topic is that I've always seen that they are very trans-friendly, especially seeing as how most of their clientele is pretty androgynous anyway (goths, punks, emo kids).   :P  For makeup, I love Sephora, although I usually don't have the money for it, so I just go to Walgreen's when I really need to add another color to my collection.

Thrift stores, mostly.  Clothes are cheap and being on a limited budget, it is the only way to go.

If I could I would go to Kohl's.  Makeup is Revlon, so it is anywhere.

So thrift stores huh? Something to keep in mind. Hot topic tho just a commercial outlet  to profit off of alternative culture is still awesome.

I'm a real sucker for Goodwill and Salvation Army.  (In case you don't have either in your area, they're charity-run thrift stores that sell donated goods.)  They seem to have a high throughput rate, and I almost always find something that's actually interesting.  To me, it feels really neat to wear something that's been around; it's like wearing history.  (Assuming that that history doesn't show.  I'm not into wearing dirty clothes!!)  Given enough time, I always find what I'm looking for.  Tonight, I found a beautiful, fitted, full-length winter coat for 7 USD.  Too bad winter's almost over...

I've also had good luck with my dumpster, believe it or not.  So few people are willing to do as much as peek, aside from bums, who usually aren't interested in nice furniture or pretty clothes.  Before winter break, I found four or five large bags of clean (freshly-laundered) clothing (about a third of which fit), bedding (including a complete comforter-sheet-bedskirt set), several purses and an (empty) wallet, and kitchen supplies.  I'm pretty sure that it was thrown away by a foreign-exchange student who couldn't take it all back home.  What I kept was easily worth $100; my local Goodwill was *thrilled* when I dropped off the rest.

(Having no sense of shame feels really good.)

The other really nice things about charity shops is that they seem to have enough "weird people" that people with gender quirks aren't given funny looks.

I've got quite a lot from ebay.. well last year when I discovered it but not this year.. yet. And with my mother who enjoys going out shopping together.. just mall style mostly but we still find good practical/quality clothing. I must admit my mother does get a bit carried away at times and shouts out across the racks "what about this?".  ::)
Also a few second hand boutiques and op shops.. but not as much as I'd like.. once I find work I'll be back out there. I ssooooo need (not want) new clothes! :S

Oh yeah, I'm totally down with the thrift shop deal and the free tables.  One of my friends has a living room in his apartment that is 100% furnished with things that people put out on the curb - its a trip.  My desk in my office is all thrift shop except for the electronics and the desk itself and people are always asking how I found all that stuff that went together like that.

And the clothes, well, its amazing what people put out in one way or another, I've found stuff in Goodwill with the Macy's tags still on it, it had never been worn, and like DKNY and other good design labels.  Its crazy.

I've found some really cheap places online:

15dollarstore.com - mostly young people stuff but they have huge discounts
classicloseouts.com - stuff for all ages, not just clothing either.  Really cheap.
target.com - they have a lot of stuff on clearance which ends up really cheap

You can also find really cheap stuff on amazon.com (which is where I found the above sites also).

At this point I refuse to buy anything that costs more than twenty dollars, because there's really no justification for things costing any more than that.

Wal-Mart (easy to try things on there) not much choice though, but good prices, J.C. Penney (the ads! lolol), Sears, for sure, lots and clots of clothes, actually anytime I am in a store and they have a women's clothing section!! lolol    :D

So far, thrift stores, Target, and Payless Shoes. Torrid has somethings I'm drooling over, but I haven't gotten any yet (mainly due to that pesky thing called "money," hence the thrift stores).

TamTam

I shop at soooo many places.. :-X :D  I go from teenybopper stores to adultwoman stores to everything inbetween as long as I think something's cute for a good price..

Macy's
Wet Seal [teeny]
Charlotte Russe [teeny]
NY&Company and Express sometimes
Lord & Taylor sometimes
Piperlime [online shoes]  They wrap your shoebox with tissue paper and make it look so pretty and fun to open!
Amazon [online everrrything!]
Target and Khol's for awesome deals
Delias and Alloy sometimes [teeny]
Victoria's Secret for jeans because their jeans actually fit me, and for bras, and sometimes for sweaters and such too.  Would be for lots of other stuff [panties, lingerie, etc] too but they're just so expensive. :-\
Payless for shooooes!

I haven't actually bought anything from Zappos because I can usually find the same shoes for less somewhere else.  Free shipping isn't all it's cracked up to be if the price itself is cheaper.  I saw boots for $200+ on Zappos that were in the range of $130 on Amazon, for example.

Mostly Salvation Army and Saver's thrift store on dollar day. I've found some really nice outfits. Another option is to give a GG friend a lot of pizza. Then she gives the things that no longer fit.

Oh let's see...Cartier, Saks, Gucci, Tiffany & Co, Neiman Marcus..  ::)  I wish! LOL  ;D  Seriously I like and practically live at Macy's, and sometimes I find awesome deals & styles at Walmart as well.  I do shop at Nordstrom (the main and rack stores) from time to time, especially during their anniversary and half-yearly sales for instance.  Their prices are greatly reduced during those times, and you can get something that originally costs $60 for $20...not bad at all!

Well I seem to have the best luck at Macy's, followed by J.C. Penney and Kohl's.  I find Wal-Mart stuff just is made so crappy.  I also like to stop in at cRoss Dress For Less.  But my basic motto is:  anywhere with a clearance rack!

Def. gotta go for the deals  ;) I know I can't afford the reg. prices on allot of stuff  :laugh: I found a good place to buy shoes online...onestopplus.com  ;) Several shoppes with many styles in sizes up to 13 at good prices  :laugh:
And all kinds of clothes too

That onestopplus place seems a bit expensive as far as the shoes go, when compared to payless, which also has shoes up to and over 13...  Maybe I'm just spoiled by all the budget stuff I find because anything over 40$ makes me cringe, and it has to be really really snazzy to make me spend more than 20$

I don't have a Payless or much of anything for girls my size here where I live. It's either find it online or go without.  :P I do get some cool clothes off the free table at my apt.s  :laugh:

You can buy payless online... I buy everything online at the moment (although I really can't wait to go to a store and just try stuff on, seems like it would be fun :))
