Best place to buy BASICS

[ReaLuvsAOxymoron]

Where is the best place to buy basic clothing that will last and look good as long as I need it. I need to add a few clothes to my wardrobe that will *hopefully* last decades if that is what I want. Price is less of an object because I am planning on never letting go of these items.

Items on the list are:
Black pants (the one I have on now *from Ann Taylor* need to be burned)
Maybe a black skirt (I currently have one from the Limited that actually is like 6 years old, no wear and tear shown, but it is stretchy and the wind whips through it in the winter)
Khaki pants
White button down shirt
Khaki skirt
Wool skirt suit in a dark color (I have one wool suit in tan, need another)
Sturdy camisoles and tees in various colors

I was about to make a post about this lol

um I went to NY&Co today. They have some really nice basics. White, Black, and Solid color t's and tanks. I didn't buy anything because I was downtown w/ my dad and he was doing some interior decorating in the manager's office but they look like they have some quality stuff.

Talbots.

Ditto. I have clothes from Talbots that I bought 5 years ago and they still look brand new. The clothes are classic. But, lately they have branched out a little. They also have outlets. Check out www.talbots.com (http://www.talbots.com) and see if there is an outlet in your area.

I may have to check out talbots. I think we have one in an outlet mall in nashville. I don't know about ny&co I bought some pants there about 3 years ago that I clean the house in now cuz they look so bad. And I bought a white polo shirt their this summer that looks decent but it should still look brand new...I mean I only wore it twice.

I agree with Talbots clotes I buy my son's clothes their....it is good quality.

I purchase some things at Talbots for my son also.

Talbots is to conservative (I hoped I spelled that righthttp://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif) for me...I like chic casual...

ITA w/ Lerner NY, TJ Maxx & Ross(have to check often)...I also have a few pieces from express Ive had for years.

TJ Maxx/ Marshall's/ The limited(I luv this store)Ann Taylor loft
I have never shopped at Talbots. Their clothes look too stiff for me.

[Leslie_C]

OH yeah, the limited has great sales sometimes...u can get stuff for 6.99 and 9.99...lots of solid colors....
