Where to find pretty dresses and skirts?

Consignment shops.

I've tried consignment shops and ebay both. I never have any luck in consignment shops. I look on ebay, but probably not often enough to have any success. I could set up alerts, but I haven't been that ambitious yet.

Got my JJill catalog today. After several years of blah clothing, I see two or three things I'm willing to try.
NorthStyle, too, as well as Seregeti (both owned by the same company, I know).
Still want to kick Talbot's butt.

Most of my wardrobe is Chico's and Soma. Their clothes are not inexpensive, but they last. If Chico's clothing fits your style, go for it.

Think about cost per wearing. If you buy a $10 T-shirt and wear it to the gym a zillion times, your cost/wearing becomes a few cents. At the opposite extreme, your wedding dress may cost $1000 and you wear it only once, making it $1000 cost/wearing. So if you buy a $30 blouse and wear it 60 times, it's $0.50 cost/wearing, but if it's so fugly you only wear it once, it's $30 cost/wearing. So buy what you'll wear ... and buy what you'll wear more than once.
