68. I can't afford mall prices. I buy my clothes at WalMart, Old Navy, Ross and Amazon but it's a pain.

I do not like ordering clothing. I like to try it on.
I long for the days of when brick and mortar had better selections, but those days are gone.
WalMart is going the route of Amazon and their shipping rates are outrageous.
Old Navy is good when I can find something. (I'm 69, so low cut spaghetti strap sundresses are out)
Ross: I bought a dress there in 2024
Amazon: I've had good luck ordering blouses. Ordered a few dresses. (A bit too long, but I jack up the hem by wearing a belt) I do order pettipants etc from them.
