I like american eagle jeans. and, they have free shipping (well...free shipping deals) so you can order whatever you want from the site and return the stuff you don't like to the store. the site has a way bigger selection than the store, so I recommend you browse it first if you decide to look at ae.

hmm... looks like most of those are around $50, and that's a little much for me.

I'm not sure about the buying online and returning to the store thing either... I have a hard time finding jeans that I really like, so it's probably a better idea for me to just go try them on in the store

I've gotten all of mine for $30 or less, and you can check out the clearance section too.

just went to a place called Plato's Closet today and got three pairs of jeans, three shirts, and a scarf for $76.32

The jeans were about $12 each! I have discovered that I love Arizona jeans... so comfy and they fit me well! I really hate shopping for jeans.

Also got six pairs of shoes for $85.28 a couple days ago.

That brings my budget down to $95.38, roughly. I think I'm gonna go for a couple more pairs of jeans, some skirts, maybe another pair of shoes or something.... shirts if I see any I like.

Yeah, Plato's closest is great. I also shop Deb's, cause they usually have nice jeans and dress pants on clearance year round.

If you have a Kohl's near you (and any money left in your budget) I would highly recommend checking it out. Most of my clothing comes from there and I can usually get Levi jeans for $20-30 as well as awesome shirts, hoodies, sweaters etc in the $10-20 range. The other place I would recommend is Old Navy... I can get dress shirts, hoodies, and jeans/ corduroy pants on sale for like $2-5 at the end of the season. ( my best deal was a $130 peacoat for $15

)

kohls does have really great sales, but you have to be willing to sift through tons and tons of stuff. (in fact, I just stocked up on some stuff--I have a kohls charge card, so they send me little discount stickers and this time I hit the jackpot--30% off!)

target is still my favorite place to shop though. surprisingly none of my clothes today have come from target, but usually everything I am wearing is from target. and by everything, I mean everything.

very true. We just had one a little while ago and we went nuts... my bro got all the dress clothes he needed for work I replace all my jeans and I got a few cool hoodies.

I love Target. Their clothing last FOREVER. I had a pair of awesome shorts from rue 21 ( I got them for 10$) but they only lasted like 2-3 months... I have shorts from target that my bro bought like 5 years ago for 20$ and they look brand new.
