The quality is good and the prices are reasonable. I am plus-sized and they have some good options for me (I am constantly wearing my Cowl Tunics (in Olive and Regal Purple) over some camisoles I just happened to have in the same colors. They're lightweight, but warm. Anyway, I also look at the catalog for inspiration for my weight-loss program that begins Jan. 6th. All the pictures of beautiful, athletic women are inspiring me!

It's gone very well, but I'm not done yet! :) So far, I've enjoyed going to my favorite stateside haunt - the Goodwill in the nicest part of town now. And I'll be going to some outlet malls soon.

I ended up at Ann Taylor Loft again to spend the money I got back. They always have sales and they're always sending me coupons. I can trust the fit of their clothes and I've never had anything fall apart from there. Also EB has GREAT jeans that fit me well (I had to buy a new pair until I get back to my "pre-mom" body). They usually have coupons out in their catalogs. But I don't mind paying their prices either because I know they last for a long time! Outlets: Banana Republic and the Gap

If there is a ____ Mills Mall near your hometown, it would be worth a try as they usually have those types of outlets, and are indoors which is sometimes more convenient to navigate than an outdoor outlet mall. I also am a fan of TJMaxx/Marshalls/Ross where you can find some reallllly good deals. The only thing there is that it is hit-or-miss sometimes and so if you don't have a lot of shopping time, you might not want to go that route. But Ann Taylor Loft is good for dressy stuff, and I agree with whoever commented earlier, that JCPenny is good too and usually has good prices.

I got into a real "mommy" rut of buying everything from Target. I finally realized I'm in my 30's and we're doing pretty well financially and I could spend some money on some well made clothes. Let me recommend using Nordstrom's personal shopper service. It's a free service (meaning you don't spend any extra money on the service). I met with a woman, told her what I needed, where I'd be wearing it (playgroups, running errands), and what my budget was. She was great about keeping each piece in a "reasonable" range - now it wasn't Target cheap, but I wasn't buying their high end designers either. I've used this service twice - once last fall and once this spring and was set for each season. Now after my spring shopping trip I found out I was pregnant again and returned a few items that I knew I wouldn't be able to wear. I'm not going in this fall, but come spring and when I have that baby weight off - I'll be back. By the way, just to second Kristen, I also have a pair of the David Kahn jeans and they do fit great, especially if you still have a bit of a baby bulge. The Jag brand fits well too.
