Where to find pretty dresses and skirts?

I really like Ann Taylor Loft. Their prices aren't too bad, and if you sign up for their email list you can get stuff on sale. There are several dresses they have right now that I'm waiting to go on sale. I love their dresses...they are always the appropriate length for my height (I'm 5'8"), my age (late 30s), and for work, etc.

What about Chicos, Eileen Fisher, or J.Jill? They're a little bit more resorty than what you posted earlier--but it seems to be similar in price, color, and fabric.

I've noticed the quality of clothing has declined considerably. Even places like Banana Republic, which used to be more "premium," has clothes that fall apart earlier and earlier these days. It's like Old Navy and H&M quality stuff that costs 3x as much! I have sweaters from BR that have worn right through after only a season's wear. I hand-wash and line-dry all my sweaters so there's no excuse other than poor workmanship. I guess they're trying to improve their profit margins but it's ridiculous.

Lately, I've been obsessed with the #2 pencil skirt from J.Crew. Seriously. I can't stop buying them.

I am a huge fan of Banana Republic.

I love Gap for sundresses. Make sure that you hit a larger Gap Lifestyle store as they will have better selection.

I also like Black Market White Barn.

Dillards is good too.

Me neither! Which is a dumb move because my job involves hanging out with construction workers 4 days out of the week.
