    What are your top brand shops where you buy clothing? Reasons why and do you spend a lot on clothes?

    I dont spend a huge amount on clothes, even though I buy fairly regularly.. I get lots of stuff in Dunnes, Next and Penneys, none of which are expensive. I love Dunnes cos you can get every type of thing you're looking for, casual/dressy/great shoes/bags etc. Penneys are great for shoes,bags and jackets and Next are good for shoes and dressy tops.
    I've discovered a good shop in Bray called City 2 which has the best selection of dresses for 50-70 euro! theyre gorgeous and great for weddings and stuff.
    Anyone else care to share? :)

    Penneys,it's just so fantastic for underwear,shoes,accessories and jackets!
    New look is great for EVERYTHING

    Promod
    Karen Millen
    Benneton
    Zara

    In the above order though I would love to spend more in Karen Millen if it was a tiny bit cheaper. I do not think that I spend too much on clothes, 100-200 a month but I tend to not spend for months then buy quite a few pieces. Just going to get my Christmas clothes now and my wedding dress (so that will blow the budget) and hoping to get my going away outfit for my wedding on Monday.

    I buy trousers for work in Next because they are a) machine washable and b) have a decent longer leg length. After that I buy a lot of tops, especially ones for the summer in Oasis as their tops really seem to fit me well. I also spend a lot in Zara, BT and BT2, Coast, Karen Millen, French Connection, shoes and boots in Nine West and Office. I actually spend a lot of money on clothes and accessories.:o
