What's a good place to shop for cute, inexpensive young women's clothes in Los Angeles?

Q. I don't like clothes that are overly trendy, but I want to find stuff that's youthful, casual and relatively comfortable without spending too much money. Any suggestions?

A. forever 21, go to the beverly center to the top floor or the grove or santa monica both have one (www.forever21.com). also wet seal has some cheap clothing thats pretty cute (www.wetseal.com). You can try Ross. You can also try Goodwill, they have trendy clothes some even still have the tags on it-the best goodwill i've seen so far is the one on santa monica and stoner ave. Also, Westwood has some clothing stores that are cheap-on westwood blvd across from Bank of America (i forget the names of the store), theres also an excellent bag store right there too and from my experience the price on the tags can be lowered if you act like its too expensive but you really like it, the lady is nice about that. For shoes, i go to Off Broadway on sunset and orange across from In&out-they have a huge selection for discounted prices.

A good quality coat costs over 800�, unless you buy during the sales. If you absolutely want to buy a coat, boots and clothes in Paris, I suggest going to an outlet, La Vallée Village is at the outskirts of Paris, sells many brands and there's a second shopping centre at the same place, which is not an outlet but sells inexpensive brands and it's quite big.
http://www.lavalleevillage.com/en/brands/women

There's a cheaper outlet, the cheapest though sale some good brands, it's not in Paris, it's in Troyes city, you could also find nice clothes there though for the shoes better go to La Vallée Village.
http://www.mcarthurglen.com/fr/mcarthurglen-troyes/fr/

In La Défense, just outside Paris, tube station La Défense Grande Arche, line 1 or RER A, theres Les 4 Temps shopping centre, it mostly sells inexpensive brands.
http://www.les4temps.com/W/do/centre/categorie-mode-femmes

Zara is an Spanish chain of fashion stores, trendy and unexpensive, very popular in Paris.
http://www.zara.com/fr/fr/nouvelle-collection/femme/vestes-c269184.html

Concerning the sweaters, I reccommend buying cashmere ones at Monoprix supermarkets, good quality, quite warm (cashmere is the warmest wool), they cost just above 100�. I often buy these sweaters and I combine with coats from Armani, Guy Laroche or Max Mara.

Since you'll spend less than 6 months in France, you can benefit from the vat refund, I think it's 12% off. http://www.douane.gouv.fr/page.asp?id=49

Help Male 2 Female Transsexual needs help building a confident/feminine wardrobe, what are 10 must have basics?

Q. I've shopped a lot in the past without trying many things on and have ended up paying for it. One it doesn't look good on a more masculine figure or it just doesn't look good or feel comfortable. I'm to the point now where I want to start building confidence in myself and being able to go full time on a more regular basis ending up being full time and I need to build my wardrobe from the floor up.

Right now I'm having issues trying to find the right medium in terms of pants size, L-XL/12-/14. The lower end seems kinda tight, and the higher end seems kinda large. As for tops I don't really have many that fit me anymore and I have similar issues with the Large-XL tops being too small or too large and not right for me. Obviously I don't have curves and things will not fit exactly right.

I'm looking for items that I can build a solid base upon. I don't have a lot of money and could use suggestions and ideas on great places or items.

I'm blonde, blue eyed about 5'10'', very light complexion.

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

A. Well, you haven't told us where you are in your transition (starting, middle, completed?) Typically, with HRT, your body will start to redistribute fat and muscle towards female proportions. This may take time (years even) but as it happens, your clothes should start to fit you better. A good diet and exercise can help quite a bit. Since male bodies have more upper body bulk, women's tops tend to fit transsexual women poorly through the shoulders, and least until they lose some muscle. You need to work on losing that upper body muscle by limiting your caloric intake, and eat less protein.

I am also quite tall, and I've found that a good place to shop for basic clothes that are very inexpensive is Old Navy. They carry a very extensive selection for tall people, including jeans in 36" inch inseams, and their website is very good. www.onehanesplace.com is a good site for reasonably priced undergarments, hose, etc. Remember, you can always return things that don't fit.

Ten must-have basics...

1) Good quality undergarments in colors that match your tops
2) An assortment of basic tee's/tanks and camis
3) Jeans - at least a few styles... tight/sexy, loose n comfy, dressy
4) Some regular pants/slacks
5) At least one nice dress for parties & formal occasions
6) Some dressy tops
7) Shorts for the summer (or skirts)
8) Sweaters/hoodies for cooler weather
9) A winter coat - wool peacoat or mid-length leather (hat, scarf, gloves also)
10) A business suit of some type for job interviews or professional events

Then, of course, you'll need shoes... sandals for spring & summer, dress boots for fall, winter boots, sneakers, dress shoes for work, some heels for going out, flats for walking all day, and some casual shoes - slides, wedges, slingbacks, loafers, etc.

A few different belts to go with various outfits. Some accessory type jewelry. At least one nice quality handbag, a small purse or clutch. There are just so many other things... tights, leggings, socks, swimsuit, pjs, sweatpants. And don't forget that most women have seasonal wardrobes, so over time, as you add to your wardrobe think in terms of what is appropriate not just for the venue, but for the time of year. With your hair and complexion, you have a lot of options, but go with darker, bold colors. You'll get lost in white & beige. You can coordinate eye makeup with your outfit as well.

Go to the mall, find a seat and just observe what other women are wearing. Most will be dressed casually, usually jeans and a basic top. Most will be wearing flats, or low heeled shoes. Be sure to note the difference in how older and younger women dress. Women's clothes are AGE APPROPRIATE. Younger girls tend to dress more trendy/provocatively, but an older woman can get away with dressing younger if she keeps herself fit and in shape.

Q. Alright so I had bought a suit up and a vest. However I want to buy some black skirts and lots of shirts.

I am going to start my alevels and we have to dress formaly.

So, where can I buy long sleeved women shirts at a great price?
List a shop or a website I could buy it from.
Thank you x

A. I'm not sure what alevels are... but I know where to shop!

Inexpensive:
Forever21 - they have semi-dressy things for very very cheap, thought the quality obviously isn't great.
Old Navy - more plain but still casual business appropriate.
Target - Great stuff, decent price, good shoes... love it.

Moderately priced:
H&M - can be on the cheaper side with some dress shirts at $20 or less, but they also have really nice and cute dresses and blazers.
Express - Great place for fitted shirts that are better in quality.

Pricey:
Banana Republic: Again, some items aren't bad, but generally cost more. A little reserved, but they have high quality basics and although they are pretty, not too trendy.
Thomas Pink shirts - the BEST fitted tailored shirts ever. WAY overpriced, but they fit like a glove!

What are pretty but inexpensive brands of clothing for young adult women?

Q. I have so many old clothes that I want to donate which came from who knows where. Preferably a brand not as mainstream as Forever 21 and H&M, I know of those places. I live in California if that helps at all.

A. Have you ever tried the more "trendy" thrift stores? Sometimes you can find really good deals there. I live in California too. What's popular here is a store called Buffalo Exchange. I don't know what part of California you are in, but in So-cal there is one in Fullerton. And one in Long Beach. Up north, I only know of one in Berkeley. I know there is many more.
Here's their website: http://www.buffaloexchange.com/

There is also a store called La Bomba, but that is only in So-Cal I think.

They have really... vintagey Forever 21 looking, but better clothing. Sometimes they are pricey, but it depends on the item of clothing. Jackets are usually the most expensive things in the store. It is a thrift store though, so everything is gently used. Also, if you have old clothes to get rid of, you can take em to Buffalo Exchange. How it works there is a worker will look through your clothes and determine if they want to buy them from you. They are really picky about clothing, but they will buy your clothes if deemed "fashionable" enough for re-sale. It's a really hipstery place, though. They get a little cocky and will totally judge your style.

Also, have you tried Ross? Sometimes, their clothes are just ugly, but you can also find great cheap jeans there, sometimes cute shoes or tops as well.

Original Question

What is the one thing every fashion foward girl should have in her closet?

Q. What do you think every young (teenage-20s) girl should have in her closet? Ex. White shirt, black bag, pair of flats...
No more Uggs please! i hate those shoes.

A. As a woman in my early 20s, I feel that I need classy pieces that transcend seasons and stay classic forever.
For example, button-down shirts/blouses, jeans that aren't too trendy (by that, I mean classic cuts and styles), trousers that are straight leg in neutral colors (black, gray, tan, brown, even some pinstriped), fitted blazers and other structured jackets, pencil skirts, a-line skirts, 3/4 length sleeved tops (can be v-necked, wrap tops, etc), wrap dresses, pea coats or trenches.

Accessories are where you can have inexpensive fun with chunky, long, beaded necklaces, dangley earrings, scarves, belts, etc.

Also, be aware when choosing color. Bright colors are great, but sometimes jewel-toned shades are more sophisticated. Having said that, color can be great to add some flair to an otherwise neutral and drab wardrobe.
Fit is important. In a classic look, it seems that nothing is ever too tight or baggy.

As for shoes, I love flats, but I also feel that having at least 1-2 pairs of pumps (like in a neutral color, black or brown) is important. Also, boots are great for fall and winter whether they're flat or heeled. If you love color, invest in some bright shoes, such as a pair of red pumps. It can be a great signature look IF that's your kind of thing.

Having said all that, you can easily fit trendy pieces from every season into that.

is there way to look like ur rich and beautiful without expensive stuff?

Q. i wear hollister and abercrombie

A. dress classic. [rivate school uniforms are perfect examples of this look. use them as inspiration for your daily wardrobe. cardigans, plaid, polo shirts, jumpers, skirts, slacks and shorts. also, for the "old money" look, more vintage style classics will work, like a british style 3-button suit, anything "tweed", etc. fabrics should be strictly organic: wool, nubby, relaxed. no polyester, nothing "shiny". shoes should be leather, understated, and conservative. don't overdo it; try to go for a relaxed look, like you just got back from a week at the family home in kennebunkport. well fitting clothing in relaxed muted colors and maybe a touch of pastel is very old money.

have good hygiene. make sure you always brush your teeth and take a shower. wash your hair and keep it tidy but understated. clean your nails and get manicures at inexpensive nail salons. short tips are really pretty but avoid long nails with bright colors or nail jewels.

keep your face neat and your body well groomed. men should have precise haircuts, and well shaven facial hair. women should have a "tasteful" cut, color and shine in their hair. clear skin, free of acne and well moisturized especially in women of a certain age. hair color should look natural and highlights and lowlights must be natural as if obtained on a visit to the beach house.

slow down your speech, and lower your voice volume. Don't be loud or draw attention to yourself. learn to play golf, tennis and sail, or to ride (horses), even to play polo (if you have the stomach for it). get familiar with english history. groom regularly, nails, body, face and hair. keep clothing neat in appearance (tuck in shirts, wear comfortable fitting not very loose clothing). you must think before you talk, because, as small as this may seem, some people blurt out things that make them seem as if they didn't, and it can hurt you and others.

change the forecast. for women, strapped sandals in winter are alright. for men, sweaters and khaki shorts with casual loafers are okay as long as it's not snowing. the old money crowd does love to layer, so sweaters, overcoats, and similar garb is handy for cooler conditions.

a wealthy woman's makeup is natural with neutral colors, except for red lipstick, the only color in her makeup. her nail polish is a pale white, pink or beige. perfect skin is a rich woman must. never overtan; natural skin color looks much better. no sunspots, so keep on sporting sunscreen, though everyone looks better with a healthy glow.

smell like money. men and women should wear a small amount of an expensive scent. (men- on inner wrist and underneath the jaw line, women- on inner wrist inner elbows and underneath jaw line or behind ears). do not put too much on!

never look at the tag while "shopping" in expensive stores. train yourself not to react to extremely high prices by educating yourself on the ridiculous pricing for designer goods. if you react and make a scene, the other shoppers in the store will think that they are better than/ above you.

watch TV or movies about those with a lot of money. read forbes, barron's, the wall street journal, the new yorker, and the economist.

don't try too hard; subtlety is key. looking like a newly rich person is never a good thing to those who have always had money.

an authentic designer bag or wallet is nice, but go for something a bit bland or obsolete. something that is the "latest fashion" is by definition a trend, which is anathema to the old money crowd. it must be well made and leather even if not designer, go for simplistic designs, such as the LL bean boat & tote or a classic black quilted chanel. nothing avante garde, and nothing that looks like the balenciaga lariat, or the chloe paddington. however, if you're impressing the nouveau riche, "trendy" is pretty much mandatory.

have at least one pair of really decent well made shoes. for men, some very conservative and understated oxfords or loafers. for women, a conservative pump, like the classic chanel pump would be a good choice.

one of the most important things is to try and act normal. people who are not rich, wish they were. people who are rich don't want anyone to know. wear things that are good quality, but do not advertise. if someone is truly wealthy, they will be able to tell. do not act as though you are above normal activities. act rich, walk and speak properly, but when you talk about the subject of yourself or your life, speak about yourself as though you are a normal person.

and remember...
-flashy does not mean wealth, only poor taste.
-speak properly; always mind your grammar.
-use excellent posture, whether you are sitting or standing.
-know your etiquette. read books on the proper use.

hope this helps

How to spread a clothes budget throughout the month?

Q. My parents gave me a clothes budge of $125/month. What is a good way to spread the money throughout the month where I can maybe buy a few clothing items and maybe a pair of shoes per week/every 2 weeks? Also, where can I shop (other than Forever 21 and Marshall's) that's inexpensive but good for teens and has classic/trendy styles.

A. to maximise your spending you should go for a 'capsule' wardrobe. Mix and match gives you more freedom at less expense.
always go for classic good quality which you can dress up or down and you will be surprised how much variation you can get. Serious fashionistas would not be seen dead in a hem that was not turned invisibly - stitched edges are a sign of cheapness. The French and Italian women always dress well - look at their fashion magazines.

If you absolutely want to buy a coat, boots and clothes in Paris, I suggest going to an outlet, La Vallée Village is at the outskirts of Paris, sells many brands and there's a second shopping centre at the same place, which is not an outlet but sells inexpensive brands and it's quite big.

There's a cheaper outlet, the cheapest though sale some good brands, it's not in Paris, it's in Troyes city, you could also find nice clothes there though for the shoes better go to La Vallée Village.

Zara is an Spanish chain of fashion stores, trendy and unexpensive, very popular in Paris.

Concerning the sweaters, I reccommend buying cashmere ones at Monoprix supermarkets, good quality, quite warm (cashmere is the warmest wool), they cost just above 100€. I often buy these sweaters and I combine with coats from Armani, Guy Laroche or Max Mara.

What's a good place to shop for cute, inexpensive young women's clothes in Los Angeles?

Q. I don't like clothes that are overly trendy, but I want to find stuff that's youthful, casual and relatively comfortable without spending too much money. Any suggestions?

A. forever 21, go to the beverly center to the top floor or the grove or santa monica both have one (www.forever21.com). also wet seal has some cheap clothing thats pretty cute (www.wetseal.com). You can try Ross. You can also try Goodwill, they have trendy clothes some even still have the tags on it-the best goodwill i've seen so far is the one on santa monica and stoner ave. Also, Westwood has some clothing stores that are cheap-on westwood blvd across from Bank of America (i forget the names of the store), theres also an excellent bag store right there too and from my experience the price on the tags can be lowered if you act like its too expensive but you really like it, the lady is nice about that. For shoes, i go to Off Broadway on sunset and orange across from In&out-they have a huge selection for discounted prices.

Guys, where are the best places to buy inexpensive sweaters (winter clothing) in Paris, France?

Q. Guys I need your help to find the best clothing stores in Paris where I can buy good quality winter clothing and at the same time not so expensive? I need coat, sweaters and boots...
Going to France for 5 month, and I have to take some summer and winter clothing, but my luggage supposed to be max 22kg/50pounds (obviously not enough for me.) :( So the only option to shop there.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

A. If you're coming from the USA, an extra lugagge is charged $100 ..... Lots cheaper than buying a coat, boots etc.
