I like Lands End too. Chico's seems to have nice things for mature women, but I have to admit that I really love the thrift stores. Lots of variety. I've found many useful beautiful items from all the major brands.
I don't even dress my age ,I don't wait all my life to dress like an old lady ,I wear what I want when I want ,blue jeans and no make-up casual at all times free and bold , with the way the world is now a days who cares.
My kinda woman !! Yes the world is a mess so enjoy each moment you wish too. I dress in whatever I want to depending on how I feel and without any concern for people's opinions. I refuse to start dressing like a frumpy old maid !!!
Me too… I wear 2 1/2 inch heels to church and when I want to dress up. I constantly hear” how are you wearing high heels at your age?” I answer with “because I’ve never stopped wearing them. I also do balance exercises all during the day. “.
I haven’t purchased any good quality or even mediocre quality clothes for too long so I especially appreciate this video. Girl talk is fun. Thank you 😊
I have an online shop specializing in new/used and vintage women's clothing, accessories and home decor. Best-selling brands are Eileen Fisher, Talbots, Ann Taylor, Anne Klein, Chico's, Exclusively Misook, Christian Dior, Banana Republic, Ellen Tracy, Jones New York, Ralph Lauren, St. John. Eileen Fisher has a retail store here in Chicago. When I was younger, I shopped at Macy's. Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue but now I only shop at thrift stores and estate sales.
I am an Associate at Talbots because I love the clothing. I shopped Talbots most of my professional work life. I have to say that although Talbot's clothing is more classic, they have been doing a great job embracing the trends but in colors and ways that work and look more modern. I also love my coworkers. Have you read about the woman from Canton, Ohio who is 100 years old and works at JoAnn Fabrics? She is turning 101 next week! She looks great and I really applaud her. She said the best part of her job is her coworkers. Another great place for us is the Loft.
Thanks, Margaret, for another fun chat! You always brighten my day. I used to go to J C Penney's for Liz Claiborne and St. Johns Bay. Recently I tried Zu Lily and found some things I really love. I also used to shop a lot on QVC before I retired. It's a toss-up! We just have to look and look for things we love. I also have tried Costco and found jeans by Gloria Vanderbilt. I love the straight leg style. I have also tried NYDJ. they are very comfortable. Thanks for the conversation!!!!
At 73, I still love bright colors and arty designs. I make many of my own clothes, still, and have a collection of unique caftans And dresses Ive made over the years. I buy clothing online too, from Ulla Popken, a German company that specializes in plus sizes. They ship orders half way around the world to me in 3-4 days.
I love LLBean! I bought clothes from LLBean since I was in college and the preppy look was in style. In the 1980s through the 2000s LLBean’s fashion selection went through some really sad transitions but now it’s come back to the outdoorsy classics which they do so well. They offer extended sizes now, too.
I have several tops from L.L.Bean that I love but yes, they are expensive. Only buy what you really love. I recently found an L.L.Bean cowl neck sweatshirt in the thrift store for several dollars, perfect condition too. It's a fairly recent style. Can't wait to wear it
@@srking1183 Ugh. I don't mind the little logo image, as you would find on men's polo shirts, but I agree, if I'm going to be wearing a billboard (that isn't for a rock group) I want to be paid for it.
I shop quite a bit at Lands End, and also like Coldwater Creek. Travelsmith has great clothing that is practical for travel and also for everyday wear.
Like shops you mentioned. Also really like JJill, great fabrics colors, wide range of sizes, generous fit and styles. Online and in stores, great sales too!
I’m a Costco shopper and often find a good fitting pair of slacks to pair with my Talbots or JJill top. Right now Costco is selling skorts, which are very popular. Just saw a picture of Taylor Swift wearing a denim skort. My one purchase this summer is a pair of shorts from Talbots. They’re baggy with elastic in the waist and they remind me of my father’s underwear. No wonder he wore them… they’re so comfortable. Cool Chico experience! PS: Costco has about 20 stores in the UK. 2 in Paris.
I love to thrift shop, I have some lovely silk and linen pieces. I learned that I have to thrift in a size up because the pieces are old and have some shrinking going on. One thrift store has higher end things in a separate place. Love it.❤
Thank you Margaret. I'm retired and wear the same thing i did in high-school...jeans. i watch for online sales since we have few stores in our town. I check boutiques when i travel and love thrifting. Fabric is so expensive I gave up making clothes. So many stores only sell clothes that are suitable only for frumps or street walkers! Appreciate your tips.
I’m going to mention JCPenney in store and online. Liz Claiborne and St Johns Bay are clothing and shoe lines in JCPenney. Also JCPenney has great clearance items.
I wear what I've worn since my early 20s - Jeans, Tees, Jackets, Sweaters. Solid colors - Neutrals and soft Earth tones. I'm 75. In my 20s and 30s, i also wore Dresses which i sewed by hand. These days i don't even own a Skirt - just a couple of Dress Slacks and nice Tops. No Jewelry. The only Patterns are in Scarves. My body hasn't changed much in 50 years - basically the same weight and size, just naturally slim. I buy some things from Lands End - down coats, slacks, jeans. Good quality, well made. When I lived in NYC, I bought Not Your Daughter's Jeans at Filene's Basement, but Filene's has been gone for a long time and I left NYC also. I haven't worn any Makeup since COVID - March 2020. I never wore much, and after the first COVID year, i threw out what i had - ive always replaced Makeup annually. But now, I haven't replaced it.
I hand stitch my own clothes or buy at the thrift store. I love my clothes and wear them for years. Simple styles and now my hair is more white, I can wear colors that didn't suit me when I had masses of curly black hair and high color. Now I can wear peach, apricot, black, it's great.
I enjoy browsing through charity shops, but I had also totally forgotten about Chico's so thank you for reminding me. Here in Canada I also love Cleo, which has a petite line and a free loyalty card.
I so agree with Talbots, White House Black Market, and Chico’s. They are absolute favorites! Lately I have been browsing Eileen Fisher online, and my next fashion purchase may very well come from there.
I do love all your necklaces - I tend to be a Talbots shopper mainly because I am a plus and Can finds some nice classics that help me look well dressed
I’m quite enjoying your channel. This is a particularly good video. Now that I’m retired and my wardrobe needs have changed, I have been on a journey to discover/rediscover my personal style. As we gain our “wisdom years,” we also tend to gain a little shift in our figures, even when it isn’t weight gain related. While I will resist forevermore dressing in ways that anybody else determines as “age appropriate,” I do want to find ways to wear the styles I choose in ways that flatter my current figure. I’m especially drawn to the current fascination with the trends of my 1970s youth, and happily, many of those silhouettes still work for me. Age and retirement have set me free from the dictates of others regarding how I need to or “ought to” dress. ❤
TOAST is a favourite online and high st but sparingly as pricey so waiting for the sales is a must. thank you for new shops to look at. i am UK based. lovely list with stories from you Margaret.
I don't shop for clothes much these days, one or two casual pieces as needed and then I find new ways of wearing old clothes with the new additions; in Australia, I like Trenery and COS; in London, I like Toast; I like to knit my own cardigans and pullovers, and am thinking of sewing some simple garments for myself - I think shopping for fabrics and patterns would be fun, must see how I go :)
I like Woman Within! The clothes fit well, wear well, and are comfortable! Orders take some time to arrive, so expediting your orders may be practical! This company specializes on plus- sized clothing!
I just recently found an older woman on RUclips talking about wearing a uniform. You know I think she’s right I decluttering my closet and thought to myself. What are the favorite things I like to wear and I just want to wear them on repeat. I have a tendency to want to shop a lot and I don’t go anywhere cause I’m retired so that’s kind of dumb if I had a uniform then it would make it a lot easier.😊🇺🇸
I dress like I have always dressed, classic, except for leggings, which I love to wear around the house. I love Chicos. Pulled out a pair of linen pants from there from many years ago and they still look great!
I was told "NYDJ" Stands for "Not Your Daughters Jeans". The name is what caught on for older women with contributed to its vast success. Cheers! I have no idea if its true, but I was sold on it and LOVE the jeans.
Hello, love your inspiration and channel content. I am always intrigued about your necklaces. I thought I heard you say you remade them from beads you recycled. If so, what type of cord do you use?
I do alot of shopping online and I love Zulily. They have clothes of all sizes for women, plus jewelry, craft items, home decor and alot of children's clothing all at discount prices. There's always something new to check out every day. 😊
I love thrift shopping for sure- it's like treasure hunting, but believe it or no Walmart carries several lines that are really nice quality and very fashionable. Also jewelry plays a Huge part in my looks. I also have crafted a lot of my own. Earrings are a must with every outfit for me.
My mother told me if I got my ears pierced I had to wear earrings every day, because walking around with holes in your ears just looked dumb. They could be tiny, but it had to be *something*.
I basically buy my clothes at Walmart, Sam’s, Costco and on line. I am not a shopper, 69 yrs live rural have livestock and live outside small country towns, no real shopping. I wear T shirt type and jeans. I spend very little on clothes. I do occasionally hit the second hand shops, or places like Ross, TJ Maxx and Marshals. I only want a few good pieces of jewelry, diamonds plain and simple.
I love to shop Land’s End and LL Bean! (Plus, they have terrific sales.) Their styles are classic and comfortable…why not look good and feel good at the same time? My clothing and makeup choices are simple…less is more. My (clothing) foundation color is navy and to that I can add a pop of color…usually pink as I am crazy about pink-not only does it complement my coloring, but it just makes me feel happy and alive. Also, I am big on accessories….small silk scarves and anything pearl! Pearls, whether a strand or earrings, add instant elegance to ANYTHING. As I recently turned 60, I was thinking that I should stay away from “shimmer” or “glowy” makeup (which I love) and then I watched a few of Margaret’s makeup tutorials…THANK YOU, Margaret, for setting me straight on that…I love a bit of a shimmery eye! I agree, it is all about being the BEST 60 year old that I can be, that I want to be. Love you, Margaret! 🥰Carolyn from North Idaho
Try a few key pieces from Petalura. They have some wraps and tops while pricey, kick it up and make you look great with any kind of bottom. Highly recommend
I’ve purchased coats, tops & shoes at LLBean. The prices are fair. Their store is in Maine & they specialize in sports clothing, the quality is excellent. I buy thru the LLBean catalogue or flyers they mail. They accept returns readily and try to help.
I shop at LL Bean as well; these days, I wear more of a self made uniform that I am in mostly around my house and garden, it makes it easier that way! My more “gussy up” closet has pieces from awhile back but they still work because most are classics! Eileen F, Chaps, JJill, Nordstroms, Duluth Trading Co, Cold Water Creek, Sundance, Peruvian Connection, Naadam. I really do not shop as much these days as I do not have to work outside my home any longer, yippee!❤
I just discovered Roman online from the UK. Another favorite is Chadwicks of Boston mail order which I discovered when working full time. A real treasure is Nordstrom gift shopping suggestions online. Loved Macy's travel size skincare offerings. Includes the skin care steps plus mascara or another trial size makeup. Really helpful. Amazon has really cute fall dresses.
I especially like LL Bean clothing. You order through a catalog or online. They have wonderful Tee Shirts, in many many color choices, long-sleeved or short. They also have great jeans, in various waist options. I also like their choices in winter clothing. And if you get their credit card you can make points (called Bean Bucks) which gives you a discount on your next purchase. I've worn their quality clothing for many years!
For health reasons, I'm transitioning to organic cotton and linen. I'm finding some good pieces by J Jill, Eileen Fisher, and Ann Taylor Loft. I generally purchase these through ThredUp or Poshmark ... I just don't have the patience to look through racks of clothing at a thrift store, although I do enjoy shopping for home hard goods there.
Really interesting - I’m in the UK and it’s always useful to know what is available and where to look for good products either online or in store. I, too, am a fan of Land’s End for my day to day casual clothing - they are good quality and their sales are worth waiting for.
The Uk has so much to offer M&S, Next, John Lewis even the grocery stores like Sainsbury and Tesco have great affordable clothes. I follow Helen Mary Jo she is in the UK. And she does a lot for clothes hauls and she finds some lovely stuff that are suitable for older woman.
Macy's can be fairly good, with their Charter Club brand. (less expensive). J. Crew was one of my career faves in the past, although somewhat expensive. LL Bean is good source for quality. Also, Orvis and Pendleton brands have good quality. And don't forget Eddie Bauer for durable casual & outdoor clothes. Love their flannel shirts and weatherproof jackets.
I shop at Talbot, Ann Taylor Loft. I find some of the Talbot a bit old lady looking but you can find more classic modern clothes there. Also J Crew is good for basics
The only trouble with these stores is that you will see a lot of people in the same thing. If you can find a boutique you like the clothes will be a little bit different and they still sell things at varying price ranges.
I’m 60. I love thrift shopping and I also volunteer in one so I find lots of good pieces that way. I love looking at the Sahara London site as I’m tall. Also the Australian plus size brand taking shape has fabulous ranges. For basics I love the Lululemon tops and pants. I also love accessories, statement necklaces and scarves.
JJill has some nice pieces and good quality as well. I wait for sales and find some great additions to my wardrobe. Some of the clothes is not my color favorites but each season I find a few good core pieces there that work well. I really pay attention to reading comments and look over the garment details when ordering anything. Makes for less returns.
That's my problem with J.Jill. Too much faded denim blue. Now that my hair is mainly grey, rather than auburn, at least the hair goes with it, but that color family doesn't suit me at all. And their high end items aren't as...quirky and individualistic as it used to be. But if you want to find a t-shirt or tank that will last 10 years they are fantastic!
I don’t actually like spending time in shops…so I do most of my shopping online. I tried some outfits from Cider that worked well. I also did not think I would like the clothes at Abercrombie but they have some good basics.
I wear the same size I've worn for most of my adult life and I like Anthropologie, Splendid, and Gap. My lifestyle is very casual but I love clothes. Farm Rio is another favorite.
I live in Seattle and have shopped at Nordstrom for years. They are expensive but the quality lasts for years. I also really like J. Jill for pants. They frequently have amazing sales too. It’s also fun to see what the thrift stores have and I have found a few great things there.
I like Lands End too. Chico's seems to have nice things for mature women, but I have to admit that I really love the thrift stores. Lots of variety. I've found many useful beautiful items from all the major brands.
Thanks for sharing!!
I don't even dress my age ,I don't wait all my life to dress like an old lady ,I wear what I want when I want ,blue jeans and no make-up casual at all times free and bold , with the way the world is now a days who cares.
Agree 😀.

Totally agree! I wear whatever makes me feel comfortable. I don't care what people say think. I don't care. I don't dress to impress♥️
I’m 67 shop at Zara, H&M,Reitman’s, Mango. I love jeans jackets and bright colours.
I haven’t purchased any good quality or even mediocre quality clothes for too long so I especially appreciate this video. Girl talk is fun. Thank you 😊
You are so welcome!
I enjoy the clothing that they sell at J. JILL. The prices are reasonable and the quality is very nice.
Oh Margaret, you are worth your weight in gold, truly. A bright light in so many lives.
I shop at macy and find Karen Scott clothing perfect for me you should takes look at the brand I’m 75 and love the brand
TJMaxx is my go-to. Great prices and variety. For 'tall' pants, I used to order from Penney's.
I have an online shop specializing in new/used and vintage women's clothing, accessories and home decor. Best-selling brands are Eileen Fisher, Talbots, Ann Taylor, Anne Klein, Chico's, Exclusively Misook, Christian Dior, Banana Republic, Ellen Tracy, Jones New York, Ralph Lauren, St. John. Eileen Fisher has a retail store here in Chicago. When I was younger, I shopped at Macy's. Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue but now I only shop at thrift stores and estate sales.
I’m in Chicago now. You pushed all my buttons! What and where is your store?
I LOVE Eileen Fisher.
You lived in Seattle?????.

I wish that Talbots was more affordable
I like Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans.

LL Bean has been selling ski jackets in Nordstrom's as well as some other odds and ends.
Unfortunately over the last couple of years they have put Logos on almost everything. I have coats from several years ago that I love.
@@srking1183 Ugh. I don't mind the little logo image, as you would find on men's polo shirts, but I agree, if I'm going to be wearing a billboard (that isn't for a rock group) I want to be paid for it.
Lovely to hear a little of your story. I love shopping small local boutiques . Love Karen Millen, WHBM, Zara too. Xxx
I shop quite a bit at Lands End, and also like Coldwater Creek. Travelsmith has great clothing that is practical for travel and also for everyday wear.

J.Jill and Soft Surroundings are good.

The bohemian look and 60-70s look.
I will I could fit in those bell bottoms from the 70s, and I wish I had the body I had in the 79s.
Yes, definitely boho!♥️
That is me. A true hippy from the early 70s. Kinda Bohemian and hippie and comfy.
I'm always torn between Stevie Nicks' Belladonna period and the Dress for Success 80s. And jeans, t-shirts because it rains a lot here 🙂
I hand stitch my own clothes or buy at the thrift store. I love my clothes and wear them for years. Simple styles and now my hair is more white, I can wear colors that didn't suit me when I had masses of curly black hair and high color. Now I can wear peach, apricot, black, it's great.
Thrift shops are my speed. Buy classic pieces and you’ll always be in style.
Gloria Vanderbilt jeans fit well
I bought NYDJ @ Costcos. Good fit and price.
Chico
Chico's is my all time favorite. They always fit me perfectly I love florals and I find
a lot of great patterns from this company.
I love listening to you.. your are very elegant. I've not been long tuning in but really enjoying you

I enjoy browsing through charity shops, but I had also totally forgotten about Chico's so thank you for reminding me. Here in Canada I also love Cleo, which has a petite line and a free loyalty card.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the suggestions. I do buy a fair amount of Lands End when they have a sale. Their clothes are well made and last me for several seasons.
Thanks for the video. I like to shop my favorite brands on the secondary market. I've had good luck buying on Poshmark and Eileen Fisher Renew.
I so agree with Talbots, White House Black Market, and Chico’s. They are absolute favorites! Lately I have been browsing Eileen Fisher online, and my next fashion purchase may very well come from there.
I love Dillards They have a very good petite section.
I do love all your necklaces - I tend to be a Talbots shopper mainly because I am a plus and Can finds some nice classics that help me look well dressed

Glad you like them!
I loved Liz Claiborne Petites but I haven’t been able to find them for the past 5-6 years. Lately I been buying Tommy Bahama dresses for the summer.
I have all the Chico jackets I bought over the years.I love them and they go with everything.
You always have such neat necklaces. They work great on you. How many necklaces would you say you have?

Ralph Lauren outlet shops..classic styles..never get old!
I' 62. I love jeans and I only buy Levi's. But I don't wear jeans in a formal occasion.
Foxcroft and Dillard's gold label shirts. Reasonable prices and great sales on these.
I buy Marla Wynne clothes on HSN. That’s all I wear. It’s classic with a twist.

I agree, it is all about being the BEST 60 year old that I can be, that I want to be. Love you, Margaret! 🥰Carolyn from North Idaho
I enjoy your videos! What would you recommend for Canadian women over 50, 60, 70. Thanks.
Try a few key pieces from Petalura. They have some wraps and tops while pricey, kick it up and make you look great with any kind of bottom. Highly recommend
I love j. Jill,
Macy’s, boutiques and one of the many consignment stores in my area.
I’ve purchased coats, tops & shoes at LLBean. The prices are fair. Their store is in Maine & they specialize in sports clothing, the quality is excellent. I buy thru the LLBean catalogue or flyers they mail. They accept returns readily and try to help.
Thanks for sharing!!
I shop at LL Bean as well; these days, I wear more of a self made uniform that I am in mostly around my house and garden, it makes it easier that way! My more “gussy up” closet has pieces from awhile back but they still work because most are classics! Eileen F, Chaps, JJill, Nordstroms, Duluth Trading Co, Cold Water Creek, Sundance, Peruvian Connection, Naadam. I really do not shop as much these days as I do not have to work outside my home any longer, yippee!❤
You look really well, Margaret🙂
I just discovered Roman online from the UK. Another favorite is Chadwicks of Boston mail order which I discovered when working full time. A real treasure is Nordstrom gift shopping suggestions online. Loved Macy's travel size skincare offerings. Includes the skin care steps plus mascara or another trial size makeup. Really helpful. Amazon has really cute fall dresses.
Love Seasalt here in UK. In many stores and excellent mail order and UK company ☺️
Thanks!
I've had a lot of fun with Sundance Catalogue!
I like JC Penneys, they have very good sales, you can earn points, I like the quality, I don't like the clothes at Walmart, the clothes is very cheap.
Thanks for sharing!!
I especially like LL Bean clothing. You order through a catalog or online. They have wonderful Tee Shirts, in many many color choices, long-sleeved or short. They also have great jeans, in various waist options. I also like their choices in winter clothing. And if you get their credit card you can make points (called Bean Bucks) which gives you a discount on your next purchase. I've worn their quality clothing for many years!
Classic simplicity at age 20; same at age - well - a lot over 65. Stuck in a rut? Yep. And I like my rut.
For health reasons, I'm transitioning to organic cotton and linen. I'm finding some good pieces by J Jill, Eileen Fisher, and Ann Taylor Loft. I generally purchase these through ThredUp or Poshmark ... I just don't have the patience to look through racks of clothing at a thrift store, although I do enjoy shopping for home hard goods there.
Ah, a competitor I see...JK, I love Thread Up. Poshmark kind of intimidates me...
Hi from Canada and my favorite go to is Northern Reflections.
Really interesting - I’m in the UK and it’s always useful to know what is available and where to look for good products either online or in store. I, too, am a fan of Land’s End for my day to day casual clothing - they are good quality and their sales are worth waiting for.
The Uk has so much to offer M&S, Next, John Lewis even the grocery stores like Sainsbury and Tesco have great affordable clothes. I follow Helen Mary Jo she is in the UK. And she does a lot for clothes hauls and she finds some lovely stuff that are suitable for older woman.
Macy's can be fairly good, with their Charter Club brand. (less expensive). J. Crew was one of my career faves in the past, although somewhat expensive. LL Bean is good source for quality. Also, Orvis and Pendleton brands have good quality. And don't forget Eddie Bauer for durable casual & outdoor clothes. Love their flannel shirts and weatherproof jackets.
I have an Eddie Bauer gortex/ goose down parka I bought in the early 90's and still wear it...the quality is outstanding
I buy a lot from QVC, Chicos, Talbots and some from Lands End & JJill.
Ann Taylor, WHBM, Nordstrom Rack, NYDJ is on the expensive side, but i do have a few. Chico's is great! All my favorites.
Don’t forget about JJill, Chicos is my vert very favorite store!
Chicos Talbots and QVC . I recently bought a blouse from Lascana. Wearing it today. Pink plaid.
I shop at Talbot, Ann Taylor Loft. I find some of the Talbot a bit old lady looking but you can find more classic modern clothes there. Also J Crew is good for basics
The only trouble with these stores is that you will see a lot of people in the same thing. If you can find a boutique you like the clothes will be a little bit different and they still sell things at varying price ranges.
That is correct Esme.
Love your eyeshadow. Will you share brand and shade?
I do pretty well at Old Navy actually.
I like the Jill styles. Also, they have frequent sales!
❤ love all the stores you mentioned!
I like many of those brand, but I look for them in thrift stores
I’m 60. I love thrift shopping and I also volunteer in one so I find lots of good pieces that way. I love looking at the Sahara London site as I’m tall. Also the Australian plus size brand taking shape has fabulous ranges. For basics I love the Lululemon tops and pants. I also love accessories, statement necklaces and scarves.
Thank you for the suggestions.
JJill has some nice pieces and good quality as well. I wait for sales and find some great additions to my wardrobe. Some of the clothes is not my color favorites but each season I find a few good core pieces there that work well. I really pay attention to reading comments and look over the garment details when ordering anything. Makes for less returns.
Thanks for sharing!!
That's my problem with J.Jill. Too much faded denim blue. Now that my hair is mainly grey, rather than auburn, at least the hair goes with it, but that color family doesn't suit me at all. And their high end items aren't as...quirky and individualistic as it used to be. But if you want to find a t-shirt or tank that will last 10 years they are fantastic!
I don’t actually like spending time in shops…so I do most of my shopping online. I tried some outfits from Cider that worked well. I also did not think I would like the clothes at Abercrombie but they have some good basics.
I wear the same size I've worn for most of my adult life and I like Anthropologie, Splendid, and Gap. My lifestyle is very casual but I love clothes. Farm Rio is another favorite.
M. Anthropologie is great!
I love my high-waisted, wide leg jeans from Anthro. Maeve the Collette pants are so pretty and fit well.
Thanks for the info
I live in Seattle and have shopped at Nordstrom for years. They are expensive but the quality lasts for years. I also really like J. Jill for pants. They frequently have amazing sales too. It’s also fun to see what the thrift stores have and I have found a few great things there.
Thanks for sharing!!
I'm almost a lifelong Seattleite, too. Lived here since 1976 when I came from E. Wash. to UW. Hi!
@@sixtyandme Eileen Fisher is still on 6th & Pine!
I have found comfortable and pleasantly priced clothing from Lands End. I shop online and have found the right size for me in clothing and swimsuits!
I love Talbots ❤️
