I love shopping and my favorite places to shop are Burlington, TJ Max, Macy's, Goodwill, as well as online mostly on Ebay. My favorite things wear are military style shirts with epalettes on the shoulders, and two pockets, and navy blue pants. I like normal straight legged pants. I don't prefer jeans. Dockers is my favorite pants brand. I have yet to develop more favorite brands. It could take me years of shopping. I like white loafers. My favorite colors to wear are Gray,white,navy blue, and sometimes turquoise.
How often do you shop?
How much do you buy?
Talk about your favorite colors, brands, styles, stores.
I shop almost every two weeks but it's mostly for a few shirts or a pair of pants because it's the only way I can save money haha. I like fitted clothes very much.
- I own about 20 pairs of jeans/pants and they are all (even the dress & suit pants) fitted skinny. For jeans I strictly only buy Levi's, Topman, or Asos brand. But Uniqlo and Asos chinos are very cheap and extremely stylish.
-I love V Neck shirts and I get most from Uniqlo because their Japanese style of mens sizing is perfect for me (I'm 130lbs 5'4) plus the fabric and prices are impeccable. For long sleeve shirts I like to buy from H&Ms men, I like my long sleeve shirts to be loose and dangly and H&M never disappoints in that department.
-Kohls or JC Penney are where I get my casual around the house type of graphic T shirts.
-Topman and UrbanOutfitters are where I get most of my button up shirts, Urban for casual and Topman for dress shirts.
-UrbanO is also a very good place for Cardigans, Sweaters, and Jackets if you know the right brands. Just got a distressed red faux leather jacket from there (on sale for $20) that looks better than most Fauxs I've seen on selling for $60.
*For formal wear I get a lot of my trench coats and suits from a UK company called New Look. Their fabric is always good quality and I simply prefer theirs to anyone else's.
* Lastly I get most of formal shoes at Asos or an outlet website called 6PM. Both of their boots and oxfords are up to par. Casually I get Vans or Converses from my local Macy's and such.
Lastly style wise I'd say I dress like a adult who used to be a skater? If that makes sense ha I enjoy the simplicity of throwing a flannel over a Vneck wearing 511 Levi's and high-tops but I also love to dress formal so it's a toss up. My favorite colors are red, black, and blue. When i feel crazy I wear orange and neon green lol
Sounds great. I like a little more simplicity than that.
Levis jeans. That brand just seems to fit me best. T's from Forever21. Gym shorts from wherever. Shoes from Eastland. Tennies from Saucony. (I wear a wide, even in men's sizes) That's about it.
I need to update my wardrobe.

To elaborate more on what I meant -I wasn't calling you wrong, I was just saying my taste differs. It sounds like you have good taste.

Back when I wore women's clothes I loved skinny jeans and tights. I have muscular legs. Now I'm into classic fit dockers and dickies pants.
Disclaimer; this is actually a laundry list of what I have currently, and what I want to go for in the end.
When I was male mode, well I still am, until I can transition my wardrobe.
I wore only Dockers, or Dickies for pants.
An assortment of unisex graphic tees, only ever v neck plain tees. Button ups were Van Heussen or Merona (or any one of the dozen target brands), with silk ties with complementary colors.
A few suade vests. Argyle sweaters, which would complement each individual button up/tie combo. V neck sweaters, doing the same, which ended up having to cuff the sleeves over the wrist part of the sweater. For that matter I cuffed my sleeves anyways without cuff links, but just flipping the wrist part over and linking it simulating links.
Shoes, I still have like a million pairs of all star converse, orange, green, pink, American flag ones with thick red laces, all black, original black with white sole, green with yellow interior, deep red with gold interior, a pair of authentic leather ones, a make your own velvet black anterior, silver posterior, with my last name embroidered on the back line. My military combat boots, Bates brand dress shoes which had a slight heel.
I was classy as hell.
So far on my female side wardrobe is a few graphic tank tops, a few monochrome tanks. (These all would so out me if I tried wearing them out of the house). I suppose I can throw in most of my unisex graphic tees here too.
A multi blue wavy pattern skirt, a black skirt with brown prints with arrow heads, feathers and the like (both skirts are full length). I am soooooo in love with paisley bay brand, slight stretch, snug fit jeans. I have one pair and they are simply in my opinion to die for
And would love to buy tons of kitten heel dress and every day shoes
Also I have my adorable pea coat which you could see partially in my avatar, a Cal Berkeley fitted throw over sweater, and a fleece interior black zip up sweater I believe it's dickies brand.
Currently while I work, my dickies slip down slightly, pressing against my hips tending to either put a lot of uncomfortable pressures, or pinching. I would believe if I found girl pants of either the same, or just going skirt and leggings would be a lot more comfortable and alleviate this pressure and pinching.
At the moment polo and dickies just feels way too uncomfortable to me. Even though the polos that I have were given to me by my sister in law, which was part of her work uniform. Or when I was classy, I did button up, tie, implementing a tie tuck cause of no tie clip, and dickies, wearing either my Bates brand dress shoes, or my custom velvet all star converse.
I want to implement either a more feminizing blouse, or polo, or button up, a mid length skirt just below the knees and leggings combo, with kitten heels to work in. That would be my ideal work uniform.

I liked your super long post. Sometimes super long posts are better to read. I sometimes feel guilty when all I have to say is one or two sentences.
On QVC,love the Susan Graver and Liz Claiborne lines.JC Penney and other good women's clothing stores.I do order from the catalogs too,J Jill is the most recent favorite one of mine and two others.I like the pink,Blue,light brown and black colors.
I love Macy's and H&M. I've received really good (and helpful) treatment at H&M and good to no treatment (better than poor treatment) at Macy's.

We don't have an H&M where I live. I like Macy's though especially when it's on sale.
