STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

Some of their casual fabrics don't hold up the best, but I use NY&Co. to get a few basics every season when I get one of their coupons.

I like them. Their prices aren't that bad to begin with, but everything goes on sale all. the. time. I don't think I've ever bought anything full price from them. I think you can sign up for something on their website to get coupons sent straight to you, for things like $15 off a $50 purchase, etc. You can use those coupons on sale items, so it's kind of hard not to get a good deal. I agree that their sizes run large. I think the quality is fairly good - not the best, but I think it's pretty good for what I pay. They're good for staples, although some things can seem fairly dowdy when I try them on.

Their sizes run huge.  I'm lucky if I can find a shirt small enough, pants I don't even bother.  Once a SA told me this sizing is something new and she also could once fit into the clothes.

The sweaters are nothing but acrylic,they would be nice if they made them out of cotton, but then you wouldn't need to keep coming back to replace them!  Tje button up shirts is what I go in there for.  Very good (well before they started making them too large) I have this one I had gotten at least 2-3 years ago and have worn many times and still looks new.

The style is mostly work basics, and some casual active wear.

Never pay full price, it will go on sale.  A lot of times mine will have a wall devoted to sale items mostly under $10.

their sizes do run pretty big -- I tried an XS top and size 2 pants and they were at least 2 sizes too big for me, and I am not that small (not complaining, though, laken!). The pants are also just cut for people with less waist and more hip than I have.

They do have some good stuff, though, and not all of it runs big. I have a skirt from there that I love, and I have a couple of button-downs that have lasted 5+ years.
