What's some good casual clothing

[scotty]

that isn't too expensive, you can loaf around home in, and washes well?

Preferably a little fashion-conscious but nothing major.

I was thinking of just getting some Hanes t-shirts, but new ideas are welcome. I kill the hell out of Old Navy stuff, so that's out.

;D

Do you have an H&M near you?

No, and it's so silly. We JUST got an Urban Outfitters less than two years ago. We are the land that time forgot.

Get the Hanes, but upcycle them! Grab a pair of scissors and go to town. Layer them over tanks and leggings and straight leg or skinny jeans and you're set.

Wow. This makes me wish that I had

- a million t-shirts
- a sewing machine

I love it! I will still try one of these -- I'll get a three-pack from Wal-Mart.

You don't need a sewing machine for a lot of them! Just scissors and creativity. And ones that I've done hold up surprisingly well in the wash.

I have some H&M and Target t-shirts for just hanging around.

wow, that pinterest link is pretty damn impressive. I could do none of that.

This may sound weird, but I really like getting Patagonia dresses (yes, dresses) when they go on clearance.

I wore two this weekend and got a lot of compliments.

When they're not on clearance, though, they are ridiculously priced.

Most of my target stuff does pretty wel,l as long as I count for shrinkage in the wash.

I vote consignment. Decent quality, cheap as hell, nobody cares if you get furniture polish or nacho cheese all over them.

I do get crazy with the nacho cheese.

That's a good call, we have huge Goodwills nearby.

I will check out Patagonia on 6pm.com.

Thank youse!

namasteak -- have you tried Athleta?

I have not, but it has piqued my interest.

It looks similar to Patagonia but is not as expensive. It's under the Banana Republic clothing umbrella.

I love a good thrift store. I even get Target shit there lol.

I have a thing for Maurices. I also buy the shit out of cheap ass tees from Rue 21.

Cute stuff! I will save it for when I'm feeling fancy. $45 blouses are that. I was an art major! ;D

Ditto thrift/consignment.

I found Rock & Republic jeans (tags still on) for $15 this weekend. Sadly I am not a size skinnybitch.
