Does anyone remember Contempo Casuals? I used to shop there all the time. I even saw Blossom (Mayim Bialik) there once.
I also went through a big Guess? phase. Oh and I had lots of hypercolor shirts for some reason haha. And of course lots of Gap.
Where did you shop?

I grew up in the middle of nowhere and we didn't have any good shopping. Most of my school clothes came from wal-mart or k-mart. If we were lucky we'd drive about 2 hours to the closest mall and I would get a few things from Old Navy.

Haha. Totally remember Contempo!! We had a hypercolor shirt too!
We shopped Gap sales and at small stores that sold clothes from the fashion district--think small Forever 21.

Northern something, reflections maybe? There were all sorts of matched stretchy pants and sweatshirts.... Ans the shirts all had things like kittens and puppies on them.

thrift stores lol
my parents had 6 kids so we mostly shopped at goodwill and salvation army. Also target, kmart and walmart.
It was a huge treat when my grandma took me shopping to JCPenney hehe!
When I was 12, I started babysitting and saved enough money to shop for myself at stores like PacSun and American Eagle.

When I was 9, I got to buy an outfit at Dollar General. It was the first outfit I got at a store (as opposed to hand-me-downs or gifts from grandparents). Whereas my brother got to wear brand names. Sigh. I was SO proud of that outfit. I was a social leper from an early age.
When I was about 12, though, my mom had to admit that I was too chesty for the hand-me-downs. And THEN I got to buy clothes at Wal-Mart.

When I was little I wore a lot of hand me downs and thrift store finds. As I got older I was able to get clothes at Wal-Mart and Goodies. Eventually I graduated to Aeropostale and American Eagle.

I loved the ESPRIT store growing up. Don't really see them in the states anymore. I also shopped at the Bullock's dept store (which no longer exists).

Mostly Gap, sometimes Old Navy and Nordstrom. I went through phases where I'd only shop at Guess or Abercrombie in high school though.

Lots of gap and the kids Limited. In HS, it'd be a&f or super clearance stuff at Armani exchange

Eh hem... Showing my age here... And I grew up in a small town... My Mom bought my clothes at.... Woodward and Lothrop. Aka: Woodies. Also, Hecht's. Both are now defunct. Lol.
I think when I started buying clothes, I was still buying from department stores and sometimes would shop at Wet Seal and other surfer kid type stores. I had an identity crisis in college, my husband recently found an old picture of me in Airways and laughed for an hour over it.
