I dunno if you have a TJ Maxx or Ross or Marshall's in your area, but you can get some reasonably quality stuff for cheaper than you might be able to at a department store. Hopefully you'll be able to find some things that will work for your trip, but also good for your day-to-day office situation. Maybe things like blazers/jackets that can be dressed up or down, etc. <abbr><em>Kacie’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SenseToSave/~3/qO097hjIsv4/" rel="nofollow">Car loan change of plans — again</a></abbr></em> Some things I’ve learned: Don’t feel bad about paying full price for a really great, versatile item.

We went to Macy's and I go the suit (not on sale) and some other clothes (all 20-50% off) for under $300. I don't know what your budget is, or how sales are there, I'm in NYC, but Macy's has been running crazy good sales here. I like the department store because there is a ton of variety in one place. If you have an H&M near you and patience, they have great prices and bus casual clothes, but it takes time to pair things together, and the European sizing means you have to pretty much try everything on. <abbr><em>Kasey’s last blog post..<a href="http://kaseykakes.blogspot.com/2009/03/someones-going-to-be-doctor.html" rel="nofollow">Someone's Going to be a Doctor</a></abbr></em> I just had this problem where I needed a suit and some bus casual clothes.
