the ann taylor loft jacket and skirt are lovely-but at $139 for the jacket alone, is probably out of our op's price range. i think the suggestion given to go look at more expensive clothing and really give it the once over, is a great idea. then go to less expensive stores and try to find something comparable, but be careful-there is nothing more unfortunate than a cheap suit!!
i don't know if i would send someone to gap or old navy-old navy's stuff, while often cute, looks cheap, and the merchandise i have seen lately in gap isn't much better. at least that is how it is here in the naples stores.
it may be better to save up until you can buy a good suit-jacket, skirt and slacks.and try to buy them on sale. then add a few nice v-neck sweaters-always flattering on bustier ladies-you can get away with 3/4 length sleeves year round. then you can mix and match so that it seems that you have more outfits than you really do.
