Also occasionally Rue la la, Off Saks, Nordstrom Rack

I’m surprised by the answers here and wondering if there are a lot of posters who don’t usually frequent Beauty and Fashion? For Dcum I expected a lot more answers like mine and instead everyone is so frugal! Clothing is definitely my guilty pleasure.[/quote]
A few years ago, my answer would have been more like yours when I was late 30s, though even then I tended to shop on sale. (Our HHI is now ~$1M, and it was probably $700K back then.) Nowadays I mostly shop consignment + staples from lower end or discount/outlet stores of the major department stores (Nordstrom Rack, Off 5th Saks). I wear a lot of the same brands as you, though.

I don't tend to be particularly trendy and wear clothes for years, so buying last season's Rag & Bone t-shirt from the outlet is NBD to me. I was raised UMC with a mindset of "what is something worth" vs. "what I can afford"...and I was a grad student for a long time. I don't see the need to pay more to end up looking the same. It's also the case that I'm a petite size, so buying in store is hard since they often don't have my size.[/quote]

I totally appreciate that it’s a bit silly to pay more to look the same, and there are plenty of people who spend WAY WAY less than I do and look ten times better! But shopping is so darn fun. Reading this thread almost makes me feel guilty at how much I spend but it’s the shopping itself that is the hobby, not so much the owning or wearing of the clothes.

I suppose I might feel differently when I get older though - right now I’m at the nexus of having a healthy amount of money and still being young enough to be fashionable, but I can see myself settling into a more basic, classic wardrobe when I’m in my late 40s.[/quote]

I'm in my 50s. I'm never going basic. My mom is in her 80s and never leaves the house without looking fabulous.[/quote]
