EthiopianFood Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 if you're a stylish, urban 30-year-old? 'Cause I have no clue. :confused: I'm especially struggling with everyday looks. I've always been very, very plain, and I'm sick of it! I don't really wear skirts or dresses though, because I don't like my knees. Maybe I should just do it anyway, because all the nice-looking ladies seem to be wearing skirts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotherMayI Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I am older than you but a few places that I think have great clothes are Anthropolgie (expensive- but fun to scour the sales racks), Ann Taylor Loft, Banana Republic, and even GAP. Tights and boots are really popular right now...maybe you should give skirts a try!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiopianFood Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 Anthropolgie :ohmy: :drool5: Can women 30+ wear that stuff?? It's so colorful and looks very high quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaBirdX7 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) TARGET. Even the style snobs pick up stuff at Target. Really, though, your style isn't entirely dependant on where you shop. If you want to change your look and you haven't been into fashion for awhile or you're not someone with the fashion gene, my suggestion is to look around at blogs and fashion magazines and other women when you are in town and frankly, copy what you like. You probably already have some really great pieces that work for you. When you look around, notice how the people you find stylish are putting their outfits together and what accessories they are using. Accessories can make a dull outfit go zing.

sleepymommy Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Ann Taylor Loft, Eddie Bauer, Nordstroms, Target, Marshalls, TJMaxx and sometimes some cute trendy things from Charlotte Russe. I wouldn't worry about your knees, these days tights with skirts, dresses and long tunic tops are really popular. I would pick up a some cheap tights from Target, a skirt from Nordstroms, a nice sweater from Eddie Bauer and a pair of mid length or tall boots (Target actually has some that are cute and cheap!) and bam! You have a really cute, not to expensive, stylish outfit that looks great on a 30 something year old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 What's your budget? If money is at all tight, go online and look at the expensive stores, and then head out to Marshall's or TJ Maxx and see what you can find. If you're looking for trendy stuff that you'll only wear for a season or two, you may be able to find some bargains. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a really cute, not to expensive, stylish outfit that looks great on a 30 something year old! Nordstrom, Talbots Ann Taylor Loft, Banana Republic, GAP. I agree with everyone else. I mostly shop at: Old Navy, GAP, Ann Taylor/Ann Taylor Loft, Banana Republic (and their outlet stores), Talbot's, Target, White House Black Market, Eddie Bauer, J Crew, etc. Some of these stores are pricey, but they have some good sales/coupons. It's worth buying some pricey basics because they look good for a long time. Mix and match. An inexpensive top from Target can look great with a pair of slacks from Ann Taylor. I also agree that accessorizing makes all the difference. eta: I also love Boden. Edited December 1, 2010 by Mrs Mungo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret in GA Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Urban Outfitters has some stuff every now and then that 30somethings can wear. I also like Anthropologie. Or how about a trendy, independent store near you?
