Life After Lane Bryant's

I like Ross

We don't have Ross here in CT or NY I don't believe either.

Well that stinks.....

I figured I'd chime in and give a male perspective! My Lane Bryant was Destination XL. That, and I could order Brooks Brothers' shirts online as well. That was pretty much it.

I love the fact that I can shop anywhere now, but I actually find it much more difficult to order online. When I was ordering nothing but a couple of different brands from DXL and BB, I knew exactly what sizes fit - now, I have NO IDEA. Could be anything from a S - L depending on the brand.

As to my favorite? Nordstrom Rack and Saks Off Fifth. Specifically the clearance rack. You can get some incredible deals on some pretty expensive brands if you shop there off the clearance rack.

Just last week my 13 year old daughter was commenting on the pants I was wearing and said "Dad, you've got really good style." That's an NSV for sure. And it was followed up by "you're actually a really cool dad".

Now, I don't know how many of you have 13 year old (almost 14) daughters. But being told you're cool and have good style are not the kind of comments you come to expect

Huge compliment from your daughter !! I have a 16 and 14 year old daughters! Not sure I ever got cool mom! Lol!

My daughter is also 13, that is a definite NSV!!

I don't have teen daughters but I was one, you must REALLY have style for a teen girl to notice it and compliment you!!

Ha, I'm just now getting the "You're a cool mom" from my kids...they are 23 and 25!

When they were younger, I proudly wore the "Meanest mommy in the world!" crown.

My husband had the hardest time buying clothes as he wore suits daily. That being said there were more Big and Tall men's stores than women, back in the day.

I love that I can go to a goodwill or consignment store and find something. I couldn't do that a larger size.
