  • Just started being SAHM and am in late 30s. Need more casual, nondrycleanonly clothes. When worked, wore mostly Elie Tahari, Theory, with some Burberry Prosum, BCBG, and other labels thrown in. Where should I shop now? I don't want to be devoid of style/look like I gave up, but I can't dress like I am 29 with cutesy clothesy either.

    • I find that DKNY and J. Crew have some good staples, while still having some style. (J. Crew has great t-shirts, capris, tank tops, and DKNY good dresses, blazers, skirts, etc.)

      • OP: Yes, thanks, these have been my go-to. I thought I might find some more options to mix it up. Let me know if you think of anything else.

      • OP: I used to wear their clothes all the time, but now when I shop there, I think I am too old for everything I try on. This seems weird, but I think part of the issue is that I am thin but have big boobs. I think a lot of their tops esp. now just make me look like I am trying too hard.

      • OP: Jeans I am pretty good on. I generally like TB stuff, but I just hate wearing screaming labels and so much of her stuff has her logo on it. I have 2 pairs of her flats and I never wear them anymore for that reason.

    • I just bought a couple of machine washable tops from J McLaughlin --one in an Hermes scarf type print. Love them.

    • Tees and basic jeans/capris if you like simple. Summery cotton dresses if you like to be feminine. Flats or flat/sneaker hybrids. Find things that flatter your body, most importantly.
