Wait is this stuff we actually own or things we would buy if we spent money on clothes. There are brands/designers I love but mostly I hate spending a lot of money on clothes so I generally buy really simple inexpensive things (from places like old navy, target, gap, H&M) like plain t shirts and jeans and then accessorize with great shoes and jewelry. I am slowly introducing non-plain things into my wardrobe but it's newish endeavor. I would like to learn to be better at thrifting but I don't have a lot of patience for it. I wish I had a buddy to go with. That would be good.

I'm dying at Muji Dayo in his flowy linens btw.
For example, the bracelet I'm wearing right now probably cost more than the cords, tee and cardi I have on combined.

tbh though I'm sort of lazy when it comes to shopping and get frustrated/tired easily so if money were no object i'd probably just go to Nordstrom's and get one of those personal shopper people to make me look fab.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Thursday, 19 April 2012 19:00 (twelve years ago) link
interpret as you wish! i don't really entertain the option of owning a lot of higher end brands because it's not an option as dude who is kinda thick
― zubaz fupa (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 19 April 2012 19:01 (twelve years ago) link
I actually own all that stuff. If I made an aspirational list it would have a lot more Tahari on it, but since I can only wear petites and certain dress shapes, that's not enormously likely.

I own the high-end stuff mentioned upthread but generally don't even consider buying anything unless there's a discount of about 70%. This means i end up with lots of slightly strange things nobody else really wants, but that suits me.

Haven't bought new clothes in about 2 years, but those are my old standbys. Standard is clothing that looks good on a small frame, which puts Gap, Banana Republic, and most other stores out of consideration.

My style is boring business wear during the week and complete disaster after work (we're talking draw string pants and tees that are beat to shit from working around the house/garden).
Boring business brands that find their way in to my wardrobe frequently are the Kleins (Anne and Calvin), Banana Republic, J. Crew for suiting and pretty much the same lineup for boring business dresses. Work shoes are all over the map, but at home I am far to frequently in Naots, an Israeli "comfort shoe" brand that feel great but my husband LOATHES. To offset the Naots he has bought me two pairs of classic Louboutins (pumps and boots), which I wear on the rare fancy occasions.
Husband is way more styley than I--he loves Epaulet for shirts and pants and Alden for shoes--and recently bought me this great pleated coral skirt that I think Laurel would love! I think I may just turn over all of my wardrobe-ing to him, actually.

Oh it's so bright and cute! I love knife pleats. I worry about sitting on them all day flattening them out, but they seem to do okay...?
― how did I get here? why am I in the whiskey aisle? this is all so (Laurel), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 19:42 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah the Naots are mostly pretty terrible looking, but I have bad feet and a bad back, give a girl a break!
The pleats are what made me think of you! The fabric is actually kind of substantial, I don't really know how to describe it, but it holds the pleats really well despite sitting-upon.

If I had tons o' wardrobe money I would have nothing but custom-made suits. I love beautifully made suits, but they are rare as hens teeth in my price range.
Hugo Boss and Akris sometimes have stuff I like, but then I look at the price tag and walk away.

― dayo, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 22:12 (twelve years ago) link
lamp - i can't wear apc, band of outsiders, cdg, rag+bone
even if i buy XL, everything from those brands is too tapered and skinny. those are popular brands w/ skinny dudes and asians because they look nice on smaller people but if you're tall and broad-shouldered and long-limbed SUPER-MUSCULAR like me (i also have long arms) they are always too tight and short.
i do have one nice XL apc dress shirt that i got for $50 at a barney's sale but i can't button the neck and the sleeves only go about 3" from my wrists, so if i wear it to work i wear a t-shirt underneath and i always roll up the sleeves.
