I am a 34 year old part-time freelancing graphic designer/stay at home mom. I live in NYC and I love fashion. The problem is I hate all my clothes and I hate all the clothing I see at the places like the Gap. I feel like I am too old to shop at places like this and too young for places like Talbots. I love anthropologie but find the clothing too expensive for the quality. I am looking for a place where I can get some good basics and achieve that Audrey Hepburn classic style. Any suggestions much appreciated!

I feel like I can offer you SOME help. I hate when people say 'the basics' but don't really tell you what they are. I saw this article that not only tells you what must-haves you need but its gives you some advice on where to get them..

Banana Republic is a great store for a young, but mature outfit. Also, Ann Taylor loft is great, and they usually always have sales going on.
I would also suggest H&M. It gears more toward younger trends, but I always shop there for my more mature work outfits (I'm a 23-year-old professional). They have a store on 5th Ave and also one of 34th Street near Macys (which is usually less crowded). Just skip the racks that are more geared toward teens and look for the stuff that's professional and timeless - they have great pieces there that won't cost you an arm and a leg. I recently found a black dress there for work, and it was very Audrey Hepburn, and it was $34.50. It was a steal! They also have great fashion jewlery and accessories that are CHEAP. Really hunt around while you're in there, and you'll find great things.
Good luck!
