OK - I need a Lane Bryant intervention - xpost

I can no longer wear Lane Bryant sizes, while most people are thrilled I am not.   I love their clothes and I have had such a hard time buying things that wear as well and look as good as they do.  I found myself shopping online there tonight and bought the only things I could, that would fit.  Please help me.....
 

wow I love these boots, but I am afraid they would come up above my knees, lol, I am short with a capital S

At least you can wear those! My legs are too big for any of those! LOL...I cannot wait until the day I cannot shop there anymore. Online is the only way I was able to find the clothes that fit me! I cannot wait to buy off the rack!

you CAN wear these boots Lee Ann - they have stretchy gussets sewn in that allow the calf area to stretch to fit.  Cool, huh?  I am gonna miss Lane Bryant so bad, she even calls me when she has sales.  She's like a really good friend with lots of great clothes.

Vicki,
Clothes are cute in other places, too!  And, the good news is that Lane Bryant will always be there, so you can go and visit her anytime!    Enjoy some other stores!  Doesn't Lany Bryant have a "sister" store that is for smaller sizes?  I can't remember what that is right now...Avenue?  Anyway, maybe that store has styles similar to what you like at Lane Bryant.  Congrats on moving out of LB! 

Limited is the sister store for Lane Bryant I just found out so I WILL be shopping online very soon, but first I think I'm going to check out a few consignment store, maybe they'll be a little kinder to my pocketbook!

LaneBryant.com goes a little lower in sizes on their panties and bras than they do in the stores.  They go to size 12 on panties and size 36 on bras.  I'm OK with moving onto GAP. OLD NAVY, etc. for clothing but I'm not ready to give up my Cacique!!

To be truthful the styles at LB weren't always my style.  I'm more of a lands end, LL Bean kinda girl and LB got a little too flashy and urban for me sometimes.

If you ever need a shopping buddy let me know....we can tear through the Summit and then hit Shelbyville Road!

I love flashy and urban -funny though as I am such a country girl.  I would love to go shopping though, have you tried any consignment stores?

Kaeli's Kloset is great for kids clothes and shoes but I've yet to find my niche there.  I do usually find a little something there though aech time I go.  This last time it was a pair of black leather Dansko shoes.  I've been sending her all my clothes as I go down in sizes so someone is making out well!

I've had GREAT luck at Sugarbaker's (on Shelbyville Road) both for plus sizes and now for regular sizes.

I want to try that new little shop down on 146 in Crestwood called the Two Fillies....have you tried them yet?

I remember a few years ago I got some really great items at the Nearly Near shop which was in the basement of the Mid City Mall....wonder if that's still there?

I nearly forgot about the nearly new shop, they were great.  They had some of the best clothes at the annual Jewish ladies sale - maybe it was a fund raiser for the Jewish Community Center.  Not sure but I remember they had nice things.  I love Sugarbaker's they have all my previously used clothes, going over there on Monday or Tuesday to pick up my check and look for some new things if you are up for a trip into town.  I keep looking in the Two fillies and need to stop in there, the one across from Circle K on 22 has some nice things in the window as well.

I am so inbetween sizes - 14W is too big but 16M fits ok - I guess I'll be a 16M for awhile since there's no going back to W sizes anymore.  I'm almost sad.
