I typically shop at AE, Nordstrom, Macy's, Express, or Banana Republic. My taste is fairly traditional and conservative so there are only a few items that I get from AE or Express, I stay away from graphic T's etc. I tend to wear the same brands for work clothing but purchased off of ebay.

I rarely shop though...

I usually end up at Express. If you're lucky, one of the gay dudes working there will give you his employee discount in exchange for a false hope and a fake phone number. Clothes there are fairly priced for the quality and how long they last. Always stylish and they are one of the few stores that have a cut that fits my body type.

The shirts from Dillard's, Nordstrom, Banana, etc bow out or go straight down the torso. I need something that cuts in or the shirt looks retarded on me.

For jeans, slacks and kahaki I like Bananna Republic. I can't afford to shop at the real store though, so I head to the outlet. Slacks and kahakis are also awesome at Express, but are some big $$.

For everyday work stuffs, I hit up Target for pants.

The best time of the year to shop for clothes is coming up soon- back to school tax free sales! I need to get new work pants. Mine are worn out.

I tried a pair of jeans on at Express in some fancy mall in CT. My package was bulging out like crazy. Michele wouldn't let me buy them.

Just wait for J Crew to have a sale and always check their clearance rack, thats what I do! I end up looking like I spend a s*** load on my clothes but really dont. Also, always go shopping for clothes around holidays(like black friday) and you will get THE best deals. Who cares about presents for anyone else, right? :P

What bothers me is that for the most part, larges are too short but extra large is too wide for me.

The shoes came from a Dillards sale. They are now retired due to a blow out in the heel.
I infected your bike with poor fashion choices.

This morning I discovered Mossimo and Merona at Target. Surprisingly excellent fit for ridiculously cheap.
