Thanks to everyone who suggested places for me to look for affordable dress pants. I ended up finding a nice pair for only $24.33 with tax (originally $79) at the Bay:

I found a couple more nice workwear items on sale and one of these days I'll have to take pics and do some WIW's!

This blazer (which unfortunately doesn't quite go with the pants despite how it looks):

And this cute blouse:

I got good enough deals that I can still get a fitted sweater (another item on my list) and maybe a few cute hair clips to hold back my annoying bangs from a recent not-so-great haircut. Hurray!
