It's Ann Taylor and Julie pant for me - they're curvy and the hemline isn't crazy long. Ann and Marisa styles are meant for people with barely any hips. Their hemlines aren't as long as other brands and they have options in the curvaceous department so they're a beautiful fit for me. Yes, it is more expensive than the rather disposable Ross and Mervyn's clothes I used to buy in Calfornia.
I gave up wearing jeans for the most part. It's too stressful of a shopping experience but maybe I'll see what AT has at some point. I would *not* spend $200 for a pair of jeans; that's insane. And if I paid $60 for a pair of jeans, I would expect them to wear much longer than 2 months. Like years.
Can you wear vintage clothes? Remember the 70s pair of orange pants I have? I bought them a thrift store in Toronto probably 5 or 6 years ago and they're still lasting. I wore them at a lot of parties. Made far better than most modern jeans I've had. It will be a sad day when I wear that pair of jeans out.
I would complain and never buy from there again.
I looked at Gap clothes at one point and they looked shoddy so I didn't buy them. Old Navy I've worn and I can get through at least a couple years with those.
I didn't go to Brooks Brothers level - that's probably far more expensive than I need though there is an outlet store in Chicago. The style is also not really my taste either. I prefer more toned down earthy colors mixed with really vibrant colors or either/or depending upon my mood. But I'm not much into flowers or pastel. I don't care so much about the whole what no to wear business - that's asking a lot when finding something that fits and will last is already a huge acheivement.
