Per a request I received via my Facebook page, I bring you a fresh post about work clothing. Where can you find a good deal AND a good look? What stores have the best items?Suits and Separates - The Limited
The Limited boasts contemporary and well made suiting for affordable prices. If you are part of an industry that demands business formal, this is the spot for you. The suit in my photos is a Limited Collection suit. I got the skirt on sale for $19.99 and the jacket for $29.99! Sign up online for email sale alerts and check the clearance rack often.
Another perk of the store is that it cuts pants for different shapes. You can find which pant is right for you with their nifty online tool! They have great deals like $25 off full price pants quite often. Pick up soft cardigans and slim cut skirts at The Limited if you wear separates at the office.
Classic Tops - Express
If you haven't purchased an Essential Shirt from Express for your work wardrobe, you haven't lived! These shirts are cut to fit beautiful curves and flatter them to no end. Lucky for you, this top comes in long and short sleeved versions.
Express likes to put the Essential Shirt on sale fairly often, so wait until you can buy multiples for a discount. Right now they're buy 1 get 1 for 50% off!
Dresses - Ann Taylor and Ann Taylor Loft, Target
A classic shift or wrap dress can work wonderfully at the office. Ann Taylor and Loft have a variety of well made options - though I recommend shopping on-sale items only.
Target's Merona line has stepped in where Isaac Mizrahi left off in the workable dress market. Affordable and stylish, these pieces are a compliment to any woman's look.
Shoes - Nine West
I love this brand. I'd say about 50% of my footwear is by Nine West, if not more! Their kicks are well made and fashionable. Nine West stores have fantastic sales ($29.99 - $49.99) or you can find the line at a discount at DSW or TJ Maxx stores.
The silver heels, gray booties, and blue retro pumps in the photo are all Nine West!
Honorable Mentions:
Statement Jewelry - Banana Republic
Suiting - H&M
Cardigans and blouses - J. Crew
Shoes - Piperlime
