Shopping advice, please!

Oct 15, 2009 10:24




I need to get a whole bunch of warm winter/fall clothes for work. Does anyone know of any good sales that are going on this weekend? I need a lot of stuff, but I don't have more than a couple hundred bucks to spend :\

I lean toward the funky/trendy, but I need to focus on practical & conservative for work. So I'm looking for 1-2 pencil skirts, 1-3 nice sweaters/turtlenecks/knit blouses, 1-3 pairs nice dress pants, 1 black basic cardigan, and 1 bulky soft sweater. I also need basics like socks & tights.

I know I could get all this stuff at Banana Republic or The Limited or something… it's been so long since I shopped for real work clothes. Where can I get the most bang for my buck? I cannot abide thrift stores, I get panicky. I can barely stomach places like Filene's & TJ Maxx, either -- but I will endure this time for the sake of saving money. Any store suggestions are most appreciated.

I was thinking of hitting State Street, and I usually go to

Macy's (Marshall Fields miss u s0 bad)

Forever 21

H&M

Akira

Urban Outfitters (I never end up buying anything here though)

Loehmann's

Filene's

And then I usually head up to Nordstrom on Michigan Ave just so I have an excuse to stop in at Vosges, Sephora & Armani Exchange.

Thanks, guys!
