Ok... I didnt read through this whole thread, but I grew up outside of Decatur so I know what you are up against.
There is a Maurices in Hickory Point Mall so you could check that out. Last time I was home I'm pretty sure they are still there. The NY&CO that was at Hickory Point Mall closed a couple years ago as did the Gap.
There is a Talbots in the downtown area. The name of the street escapes me but it's by Merchant Street, in that area. Within a block or so of Catz and Pastabilities. Talbots has helped a lot of my friends out with business type wear.
The TJ Maxx actually has some pretty decent business type clothing but it's one of those places where you have to dig and you have to hit it at the right time. That's in Brettwood Village right off 55. There is also a Dots there (at least there was last time I went there). They used to have stuff like that but I'm told they are going more towards younger fashions ie jeans and bar clothes.
Also there is a Cato by the Walmart in Mt. Zion. They have a good selection and aren't massively expensive. I bought a suit through them one time that has lasted me about 2-3 years and it was under 100 dollars. It is classy yet still youngish looking.
Let me know if you need anymore help and I can hit up some of my friends that still live there to see if they have any suggestions.
