Professional Ladies: Where do you buy your suits/shirts?

[GeorgiaGreek]

Whenever I go to The Final Cut (a BCBG outlet), they have a large selection of suiting pieces. I rarely need to wear things like that so I can't say much about them in terms of fit and such, but the regular BCBG line tends to fit well. I think a lot of the pieces are from BCBGeneration, but main line suiting is nice too.

I second the New York & Company suggestion. I have to wear suits for work functions and I'm tall (36-37 inch inseam). It's one of the only places I've ever been able to find tall pants and jackets that don't break the bank. It's much cheaper to buy off the rack and get it tailored than to buy a custom suit, in my experience. Clothes from NY&CO tend to be a bit more youthful without being trendy in the suiting department, which I like. Their button-downs are also cut nicely - they fit well, but sometimes I wish they had a tall size in those to get just a little more arm length!

I've also had some luck at JC Penney. They have a variety of lengths and sizes - you just have to search a bit. My local store doesn't have much, but look through the catalog or online.

Third. New York and Company has really good sales very often (like 50% of the entire store or they like) in addition to decent prices. They are also really stylish pieces, but without being unprofessional. This is especially nice with the skirts. It's really hard to find knee-length suit skirts that don't make you feel 50, but they do it.

They also have really cute jewlery, and it's very easy to mix and match everything in the store.
