(Minus Alfred Dunner/Koret which takes 'mature shopper' to a whole new level :) ) My closet is full of talbots. I agree with all the previously mentioned stores, and do shop at them, plowing through the majority of their catalog for a keeper here or there. I just had to read this thread to make sure that I wasn't shopping at any of these stores. I know it is popular here but I also think that Eileen Fisher is a little old looking for me and in a couple of months I will be a new demographic of 35+, which is almost closer to 40 than 30 so it should be perfect for me. Pretty much any store that sells overly baggy and flowy clothes. I do have a cute dress from Coldwater Creek my mom bought me that is classic and has a Hawaiian floral print on the bottom that is pretty timeless, and my mom has gotten some cute stuff there, but really it's just NMS most of the time. What I don't like about them is that they totally cater to the mall they are located at so one store could have something really cute, but they are out of it in my size and the next store that has it is 150 miles away and or I have to order it online and their shipping prices suck! I got some boots there recently that I really like and a belt. Talbots, but I will say that I used to get a lot of basics like plain no pattern knit sweaters or tops there when I was in my early 20s and they didn't look like old lady clothes.

The tops are too boxy and the jeans and pants I have tried do not flatter my largish hips and but. Lands End, I hate to say it but unless you look like the models in the catalog nothing fits me right, except occaisionally a pair of shoes (love the ballet flats I am wearing today!).
