Show us your life - Favorite Shopping Places

Although I wish that I loved shopping - I really dislike crowds, and I'm so impatient when it comes to trying on clothes.... so I am NOTORIOUS for shopping online, and then going to the store to pick up the item (now this also comes back to bite me from time to time... when I can't find in the store what I found online!)

If I have to go shopping you will probably find me at Marshalls, TJs or Target. Since watching my budget much more closely over the last few months (which is a new trend for me) I have tried to stay away from these stores because I end up buying things that I do not need.

My other favorite places to shop are New York and Company (inexpensive trendy items), Target (only if the price is right - I think they forgot they used to be trendy and inexpensive, they are officially now trendy and their prices are creeping up), i LOVE LOVE LOVE the Gap outlet (except when I go down there I just need to prepare myself that I am going to take a big chunk out of my budget/allowance), and Walmart (only online however, the walmart that is near my house is not in the best part of town, and I think shopping from the comfort of my home is much safer!).

My biggest goal for this year is to stock up on dresses. I have never really been much of a dress girl, however since I have started to follow more and more blogs (especially everyone from the south) i have noticed how cute, trendy and comfy dresses can really be. I have started my dress collection, however I am quickly finding out that a girl can never have too many dresses! Do you have your favorite place to shop for dresses? I would love to hear your suggestions. I'm pretty sure Stacey and Clinton could surprise me at any minute because my wardrobe could definately use a lift!

Also my other last favor to ask, if you happen to live in Central Ohio, do you have a favorite boutique... can you leave me a message with the name and where its located. I love asking people where they got something super cute and its a small little boutique - however I don't even know where to begin to look for one....

Sorry this post is asking a lot of you - but I do need a little/a lot of fashion advice - and I will greatly appreciate any advice possible!

Hey! I came from Kelly's Korner! I like to get my dresses from Belk. I just bought a cute sweater dress there. You can usually find coupons located by the customer service desk. I am not sure if you have one in your town. They have a website belk.com. Shera

Hi,

I am visiting for Kelly's Korner too and I love getting dresses from White House Black Market, Ann Taylor, Ann Taylor Loft, and JCrew.

Thanks for sharing your ideas with us.

Warmly,

Bernie

Hi there! My name is Maria and I live in Worthington, OH. My favorite boutique is Fritzy Jacobs in Worthington. It doesn't sell women's clothing but it sells home stuff and baby stuff. It's super cute:)
