    Default I need clothing help!

    OK ladies. I started my job today and this week Im ok wearing whatever. BUT I need new clothes. I dont know whats wrong with me but I cant put an outfir together for the life of me unless someone does it at Nordys or Bebe. I cant afford either of those anymore so i need HELP!

    I want cute/trendy but not TOO cutesy or so trendy it will be out of style next week. I also need to look my age (26 on Tuesday ) I HATE looking too young but I dont want to look 40 either! Ive been having issues. I dunno... I dont have a lot of money but need some good clothes. Nothing denim and cannot be sleeveless.

    Help?!

    Open some fashion magazines and take a look at the trends. Try TJ Maxx, Marshalls or even Target. Target has some super cute things are very reasonable prices. I know Banana Republic is more expensive and so is Black Market, White House but they have nice, classic professional styles you can wear to work.

    ^^Those above places are great. I really love TJMaxx myself. What about Charlotte Russe or New York and Company?

    Sometimes I go into expensive stores then go to the lesser expensive ones to copy the pricier styles.

    Are you looking for staple pieces that you can build from?

    I need some nice staple pieces then other trendier pieces I can mix in.

    My problem is all my old staple pieces dont fit me anymore. Not one pair of slacks other than jeans and I cant wear jeans at work.

    I went and bought InStyle and Lucky mags and Im even MORE confused.

    I think I can manage $300 - and I cannot buy pants/bottoms at cheap stores - they do not fit me - Im too tall.... so Im kinda screwed. I used to get like ONE outfit for $300 - now I need a damn wardrobe!

    I love Victoria's Secret clothes. Too bad they don't sell them in stores, only on their website and catalog.

    New York & Co is great for pants and they carry Tall. You might find some shirts there, but I always do better at Express or Kohl's (Misses dept only, Jr is for 12yr olds, womens is for 60 yr olds).

    Burlington Coat Factory also is a good place to look.

    What size are you? I have the opposite problem. I can't find petite pants anywhere but Banana or Ann Taylor.

    There isn't a huge selection of small sizes at TJ Maxx or Marshalls but if you get there the days of their shipment you might have better luck. Most of their stuff is for taller women IMO. They sell decent names like DKNY, BCBG, Michael Kors to name a few. I've also seen some Limited and Express there. Target has nice pants too but their stuff is usually too long for me in the torso. Any Saks off Fifth or Nordstrom Rack has nice names at a discount as well. I also recently noticed Victoria's Secret has some nice pants on their website.

    Im a size 2/4 and am 5'8" and need a 34" inseam but I like 36" inseam if Im wearing heels. Im ALL leg...

    I love Express but even with their tall pants I have to take the hem out so they look ok with heels.

    Ill try NY and Co. Im scared to order VS because catalog stuff/online stuff rarely fits. I need to be able to try it on....

    Guess Im going to have to go on a major hunt. Thanks for the ideas!

    I know you said you don't like ordering online, but VS inseams are usually 34-36 in. There shit is reallllly long.
