What's your HHI + NW and where do you shop?

[Anonymous]

$225
Nordstrom, Gap, Everlane, J crew, Banana for work clothes and a nice Goodwill! (For basic tees, sweatshirts, )
My daughter (brandi Granville, goodwill)
My son (Gap and ebay, amazon for hoodies and sneakers)
Husband (ll bean, also ebay, got him 12 colorful polos last summer he wore round the clock).
I have no problem at all with buying used clothing for all of us.

Beauty: Blue Mercury, Sephora, CVS (Korean face masks), Veer & Wander, dermatologist

DH: Old Navy, Amazon, Nordstrom, Jos A Banks
DD: Target, Thred Up, Old Navy but we are entering the tween years so I think Hollister and American Eagle will be in rotation soon. Grateful for the norm core aesthetic that the kids like these days

HHI: 575. Net worth: something like 1M.

For clothes it’s mostly target. Occasionally Walmart, Nordstrom, is H and M but that’s only if I can’t find what I need at target. I do buy Name brand shoes.

I am clearly not into fashion. I definitely spend more money on hair and makeup than I do on clothes. And I never give myself a budget when it comes to home renovation.

$700-800k HHI and mostly Ann Taylor. I was in Nordstrom yesterday and just can’t fathom spending $600 on high end blouses, dresses etc. I guess I’m cheap and basic at heart

WHY?? I could see maybe consignment you can occasionally find great things, but TJ MAXX and Marshall's have have had absolutely nothing of quality (or fashionable) for at least a decade. Curious why you don't spend more since it isn't a budget issue? And if you really don't care, what brings you to the beauty and fashion forum?

Now that is dangerous!

Ha it could be, but I somehow my taste isn’t that expensive and I have a strong fear of the Arlington permitting process. So those are natural limiting factors. It’s more like I go for the $700 dollar faucet instead of the $100 dollar one. But somehow I feel much better about my $20 pair of jeans from target than my $120 pair from Nordstrom.

Besides for athletic wear, I mainly buy items made in the US, Canada, or Europe. Many items are from smaller, lesser known brands. I will occasionally find things that meet this criteria at Nordstrom, Net-a-Porter, shopbop. I love searching Garmantory for interesting finds made by small businesses. I get linen summer dresses on Etsy made in Lithuania

I don’t buy target, old navy, Costco, or similar ever- not even
For my kids. Total garbage clothes.

I have purchased things from target and Costco that have lasted longer than things I purchased at Nordstrom. It’s the individual article of clothing that matters, not the brand. I do wish I could afford more eco-friendly brands though.

The most eco-friendly is buying the minimum possible, buying secondhand as much as possible and buying natural fibers wherever possible.

HHI just around $1M.

For myself, I mostly shop at The Real Real, Nordstrom Rack, and White House Black Market. I've been happy with t-shirts from Uniqlo. I occasionally will buy from brand outlets (e.g. Vince, Rag & Bone, etc), but in general I try as much as possible to buy secondhand.

I'm very short (which apparently DCUM says is different than petite) and small-framed, so I struggle with pants/shorts in particular. Mall brands I've found are best for me, since they tend to carry petites (i.e. short).

^^PP again. I meant to add that it's not weird that some of the higher HHI on this thread are listing lower end brands. (I used to buy a lot from the Target, Kohl's, and H&M designer capsules...but now I buy those designers on consignment.) You don't get rich by spending frivolously...and in our case we spent many years as grad students earning very little. I learned to shop consignment then, and I always felt like I was very well dressed compared to what I spent.

Nowadays, my primary reason for shopping consignment is sustainability as well as the access to better construction and fabrics (especially for vintage pieces).

100k
For me: Amazon, consignment shops
For kids:target (I have 3 boys who are very rough on their clothes and I’m actually a huge fan of the cat and jack brand- the clothes hold up really well over time), consignment shops

Even the natural fibers come at a pretty steep cost to the environment. Cotton is a huge water suck, so to speak: https://www.triplepundit.com/story/2016/quenching-cottons-thirst-reducing-use-water-cotton-lifecycle/57196

Wool and leather are both tied to factory farming and so have a moral cost (harm to the animals) in addition to the environmental cost

Buying secondhand is a good way to mitigate.
