Whats your favorite store to shop at?

So tell me What is your favorite shopping place? Me I have several. J C Penny, Boston Store, Kohls, Fashion Bug, Torrid (my favorite of all) Hot Topic, and many others. As I've been wandering the stores this fall theres been a lot of great looking stuff and a few things that are "What were they thinking" items. Even Walmart has had a few good pieces. Walmart is even going to be carrying Norma Kamali dresses this fall. For those of you who don't know the NK line is usually only at Nordstroms and Macy's so I think its cool we can get some really great high fashion pieces at "Walmart". Just one thing though the smaller Walmarts like the one I shop at the most don't have these dresses, need to go to the bigger ones. I am disappointed by some of the fabrics Walmart has had I find the t-shirt material thats being used right now is too thin, Come on, us big girls don't what see through cloths, personally I've been layering alot more because of the thin material. The layering looks good and with the thin material I don't get over heated when working.

I've also been making over some of my cloths, this summer I got a great shirt from Penny's that because of the sleeves parting up the middle (its 3/4 length sleeves are split up the middle and they fall open) I didn't wear it for a while (I have big fat chuncky sausage arms). I came up with the idea of adding grommets to the sleeves and threading thin ribbon in a cris cross pattern up the sleeve and tying a bow. Well I couldn't find the right size grommets so had to do some more thinking. One morning I woke up and thought safety pins. So I used mid-sized safety pins up the sleeves and then put them around the neckline of the shirt, the pins give it a gothic "Hot Topic" kinda edge and I've gotten alot of compliments on it, even from women older then me they think its neat idea. ( will post a photo later).
