When my kids were younger, we shopped often at American Eagle Outfitters.
I used to shop there when I was in college - I think most of their target audience is college students. But even now as a 29 year old, I still shop there because their jeans are the only ones that fit me well. 
I do like their sizing at it seems very consistent with each style.
Yeah. I do hope their sizing stays consistent - otherwise I'll probably have to spend hours discovering another brand of jeans that fits me. Shopping is not something I terribly enjoy. 
I'm not a big shopper either and I also found the pricing at American Eagle to be reasonable.
Do you ever shop at Aerie? I think they're also owned by American Eagle 
Yes my girls basically had me at every popular store in the city.
Haha, oh boy, that sounds expensive. :) What city did you live in? I grew up in New York City but have since moved away. 
We lived in Charleston, South Carolina but we visited New York City twice this year and I am ready to move there.
Oh! Funny, we moved from NYC down to North Carolina. We did consider moving to SC since it's nearby but found it too humid for us. How do you like Charleston?
