I Madewell. If I could afford it, I'd shop here all the time. I like looking through the sales rack though. I recently bought a few pairs of cords (that I LOVE) and want to go back and get some more in different colors!

I do, but I feel like maybe I'm getting too old (I'm 32)? It makes me sad- lol.

We have a store at my local mall, but I've only gone in once!

Yes! Madewell - especially in the Fall/Winter. It's more my style than JCrew (sister company). I try to only buy on sale though.

@meredithNYC: I'm in my 30s and I wear Madewell! Not too old! Rock what you got, girl!!
@shopaholic: It's definitely more my style too! JCrew is a little too preppy/conservative for me. I like Gap too but only for basics and casual stuff.

YES! I'm crazy about their shoes especially. I can only afford to buy things on sale, though.

@MrsKoala: I love their shoes. And bags too. Wish they had more sale items!

@meredithNYC: I'm the same age but i love madewell!
I recently bought one of their dresses while in SF and i find it so versatile! I'd probably shop their more often if they had a store in Canada.

@banana: @Freckles: Alright, I feel better now! It's weird because in NYC I would have never felt old wearing it, but the style in the suburbs is just... different. But whatever - I will shop with confidence and enjoy my Madewell purchases.
honeydew / 7444 posts
@meredithNYC: Haha, suburbia style can be cool, too! Granted, i only have a few items from Madewell. Now that there's free shipping to Canada, i may start buying a few more things.
@banana: Are their shoes comfy? Their boots are really cute!

@Freckles: Their shoes are really comfy because they're made of really soft leather. I haven't bought any....only tried them on at the store. I'm totally coveting some ankle boots to wear with my cord skinnies right now.
Especially these ones.
sigh....

@Freckles: ACK! I kind of want these ones now. I love the "sheen" trend in boots right now. HELP!!!

@banana: I was looking at those too, but i'm not sure if i'm down with the wine colour. I love the shape and sheen of the boots! I hate buying shoes without trying them on though! Knowing how lazy i am, i'll probably never return them if they don't fit right.
coconut / 8299 posts
@Freckles: Yeah I'm not sure about the color too. I would love them if they were black. I don't even want to try them on because I'm afraid I"ll buy them! I'm sure I can find other boots that I like somewhere else. (I HOPE!)

@swedishfish: I don't think it's THAT popular (definitely less popular than JCrew). It's a little trendier than JCrew IMO. I don't know how many store fronts they have. But I have one near me and it's hard not to buy anything when I go to "window shop".

@banana: @Freckles: @meredithNYC: ok I'm older than all of you guys and I shamelessly shop there. The sales are good and it doesn't make my eyes bug out like the crazy prints at jcrew? Mostly I have just been buying dresses. Always on sale. They are perfect for my height and build..

@T-Mom: You go, mama! I think Madewell looks pretty fab at any age.
I agree. I like the prints there more than the JCrew prints. I haven't bought any dresses yet though! I'm stocking up on cords and jeans for the fall/winter. Great sales right now!

@banana: I was in the store a few months ago and a lady walked in and she had the madewell "look" down... She was definitely over 40.. Turns out she was one of their buyers or something like that. After that I was like.. Shoot I can do this if she can! I'm gonna check out their cords!
pomegranate / 3383 posts
I'm 31 and I don't think Madewell is for a younger crowd at all! Or maybe I just don't dress my age...
I really like their stuff and I also have a couple of pieces that I got on sale. Now that I've learned from @freckles that shipping to Canada is free, I may be adding more!
coconut / 8299 posts
@T-Mom: Yes, check out the cords! I bought some for $70 (still pricey but the quality is SO good). They're normally $90. And cords are a staple clothing item for me. The madewell ones are soft and stretch, which I love!

Parks and Recs loves Madewell too: http://jezebel.com/the-parks-recreation-characters-sure-do-spend-a-fuc-576267639

@Sammyfab: Well, over $150...but i'm sure you can find enough stuff to reach that point.
@T-Mom: I think the dresses are very flattering. Damnit, now i want to go buy another one...

I feel like I have been missing out for so long. I tend to shop at J.Crew since there are stores nearby, and it's easy to make returns. I should branch out and try Madewell. Wish there was a store nearby. Wait... there are two! Nearby as in an hour away but totally feasible. Must check out soon.

I also love it! I can't afford to shop there all the time but I stalk their sales. I got a cute tank over the summer, and randomly, an iPhone case.

@Freckles: I got the boots in black! I got a promotion recently at work and thought I'd treat myself. I gotta say. I'm pretttttttty obsessed with them right now.
honeydew / 7488 posts
@banana: omg I want those boots!! Those look amazing.. And congrats on your promotion! I just received a nice bonus at work but I already spent it on a handbag (never ever done this before but decided to treat myself) or else I would be all over those shoes...
honeydew / 7444 posts
@banana: Wahoooo, congrats!! The boots are much deserved! Take a picture of them, please.
coconut / 8299 posts
@Freckles @T-Mom: : I'm horrible at taking these types of pics but I wanted to show you the boots! I wore them yesterday AND today. haha. With the blue dress yesterday and with my cords today! Might also wear them this weekend. heehee
ETA: Ack! Bad pics. The boots are way cuter in person i promise!

@banana: Nice legs, mama. Woot! The boots look great. Hmmm, i'm now thinking of them!
