So, as soon as I came to this decision, I had to ask myself, what does a WOMAN dress like? Or more specifically, which type of WOMAN did I want to dress like? And do you necessarily have to go up a chain when you get older?
1. Gap --> Banana Republic
I still like the Gap and I see a lot of older folks there... but lately I especially love to shop at Banana. One of my latests purchases from there includes a jersey knit black dress. it's super cute! My work wardrobe is also mainly comprised of BR finds.

End result? Gap: I still like you, but I hit the BR sales first.
2. Urban Outfitters --> Anthropologie
I love the bright colored poly-cotton mix t-shirts from Urban Outfitters. Prior to the past year, I had never stepped into an Anthropologie store, but once I did, I found it strangely alluring... some of the stuff is a little too "old hippie" as mikes puts it, and it's a little pricey. But, some stuff is absolutely adorable and they carry goods for your kitchen!
End Result? I think I need to upgrade to Anthropologie, after I stock up on my basic tees...
3. J. Jill, Anne Taylor, Talbots
For some reason these stores remind me of my mom and women my mom's age. J.Jill has a section for Misses' and Women's, but what's the difference? I just don't think they're my style...yet.

End Result? Maybe when I hit my 30s.
If you could go on a shopping spree, where would you go?

I like Gap, Banana, Anthropologie, & Urban Outfitters. I'd just SHOP, SHOP, SHOP! For REAL!
I love, love, love Banana but also find great things at J. Crew. The Gap is still a staple for pants but that's about it. I like Ann Taylor Loft, but J. Jill and Talbots don't work for me...maybe when I'm 35.
I TOTALLY agree. I was at Old Navy a few weeks ago and had a major realization that I wasn't a kid anymore. I actually perused some of the "designers" at Nordstrom and found that I really liked them. Not too old, not too young. But some were WAY too old. Gotta be careful. I, too, love Ann Taylor Loft. I do love Gap for pants, but I'll have to start looking at Banana. Thanks for the tip!
Yes, Lay, Nordstrom's.... Banana... Anthropologie.... I guess we all have similar styles, huh?
