If you wear suits for work...

1) Where do you buy them?

2) What shoes do you wear? Store, brand? Pics?

3) Show me your work bag?

Thanks

Re: If you wear suits for work...

My last job I had to wear suits - I loved banana republic (got some great ones on sale) and Ann Taylor.

I found those suits fit me better than others - they both run sales so usually u can at least get a deal on the pants.

1. Most of my suits are from Ann Taylor, they fit me well.

2. Shoes, any nice high heel, closed or open toe, depending on the season.

3. I don't have a "work" bag per se.I change my handbag everyday depending on what I'm wearing.

Re: If you wear suits for work...

My favorite suits are Tahari-you can find them in Marshalls/TjMaxx a lot. I used to work with someone who looked great and wore suits and bought a lot of her stuff at Annie Sez believe it or not. I use a rolling computer bag because I have tech equipment I need to carry. Shoes-I love 9west shoes and find them comfortable. I also find some cute stuff at Steve Madden that can make my outfits a biot more funky.

I can only wear Theory suits. They're the only ones that fit me well.

Shoes, I have a bunch of pairs obviously but usually a plain black platform pump. I also have a fun yellow black and white pair from BP at Nordstrom that I throw in to spice up a blah outfit. I am DESPERATE for a pair of brown or nudeish comfortable pumps...

Work bag is the Neverful Damier MM

Re: If you wear suits for work...

I have found suits in Lord & Taylor sometimes they have good sales. For shoes I have a variety but my most comfortable ones are aerosoles (I do a lot of walking and traveling to meetings etc). I would look for a work bag in Staples. Believe it or not I found a great one there for cheap I use it every day.

Most of my suits are from Theory or Banana Republic, though I do have one from Ann Taylor that I like a lot.

Shoes usually Tory Burch (flats or heels). I also have a pair of suede pumps from Jcrew that I love and are so comfy.

Bag - I have a leather tote from Coach and am about to invest in the LV Neverfull MM in Damier.

You are in luck because nude shoes are everywhere right now! I was out shoe shopping yesterday and there were a so many -- it was the whole front display when you walked into DSW. I am eyeing a pair from Michael Kors.

I have all different brands from high end designers to target (yes I got a suit in Target). But Express suits are my go to. I can buy and wear right off the hanger, the others I usually have to have some kind of alterations done.

Shoes all depends too. Usually a basic 9West Heal. I destroy shoes from the days I put in so I try to not spend a ton of money on work shoes.

Whenever I see a good sale or something I like I try it on because I find ever desinger fits differently and sometimes something from one place fits great and the next time they don't fit at all.

I usually get suits @ Macys or Marshalls/TJ Maxx. I need petites and they both have a good selection.

Most of my work shoes are either Michael Kors or Nine West.

Handbag changes, but it's usually Michael Kors Hamilton in luggage.

Ann Taylor and the Limited.

I always were an obscenely high heel - but I'm a shoe wh*re so I don't have a 'go to' brand or store.

I use my LV Neverfull as my commuting / work bag -

Same for me. Theory suits fit me so well and I can wear everything as seperates too. Obviously a bit more expensive, but worth it.

I also do well at J.Crew.

Black pumps are classic. I have one pair of pumps that I only wear when clients are coming in, or if i have an important meeting to keep them in good condition.

Re: If you wear suits for work...

I have not had a really good go to place for suits in years. I just got one from Pendelton Catalog and I bought it because I finally wanted something that is not black but is still okay when it is cold outside. I was buying Talbots suits for a few years but they are very conservative, are expensive and I found that the quality has changed for the worse. I will still look there but it used to be a staple for me.
