I'm addicted to Chico's, especially the Travelers line. About 60% of my work wardrobe comes from there. A lot of their products are tailored for tall people, and I'm short, but if you choose wisely you can easily find some good-looking, flattering clothes.

I have a few suits from Brooks Brothers, but I haven't been happy with what I've seen there lately. The pantsuits are unflattering, and I don't wear skirts as a rule. Their blouses don't fit right, probably because I'm petite.

I used to buy a lot of clothes from Van Heusen outlet stores, but their women's line has really gone downhill lately... I think their designers have forgotten that there are colors other than peach and turquoise. DH used to buy a lot of shirts there, but even he has been disappointed in their recent men's line. (For some strange reason, he refuses to wear a pink, orange, and purple striped tie... ) I still have a few older items, in good shape, in my work wardrobe.

Take this in context. I'm *cough*29*cough* and I work in the financial sector, but in the technology division (hence, no suit-and-tie requirement, but you still must look good in case you bump into a client).
