All of their items are under $30, and I've seen quite a few cute tops and dresses except they don't have my size for those :( <a href="http://www.forever21.com/category.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=love21_main&Page=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.forever21.com/categ.....038;Page=1</a> I've not purchased from this line so I cannot say about the quality, but being Forever21 I wouldn't expect them to last for years. If you urgently need something to wear now, rather than wait for nice things to go on sale, you might like it! Shipping is free over $75, and you can return items to any local store for store credit (refunds must be returned through mail).

I am wondering if the problem may be that the suits themselves need altering for a perfect fit.

Or could you tell us exactly what it is you don't like about them? Here are some more suggestions. Let us know if anything appeals to you. (you mentioned wearing tank tops to the office, so I'm assuming you can do sleeveless, if not, you could always pair them with a suit jacket of a (short-sleeved) cardi. <a href="http://www.express.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=19823&parentCategoryId=2&categoryId=9&subCategoryId=11" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/catalog.....egoryId=11</a> <a href="http://www.express.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=19875&parentCategoryId=2&categoryId=20&subCategoryId=20" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/catalog.....egoryId=20</a> <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5042&vid=1&pid=629260&scid=629260092" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....=629260092</a> <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=16814&vid=1&pid=671297" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....pid=671297</a> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3010926/0~2376788~6002242~6007533~6007560?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=6007560&P=1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....0&P=1</a> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3013118/0~2376788~6002242~6007533~6007563?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=6007563&P=1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....3&P=1</a> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3017459/0~2376788~6002242~6007533~6007564?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=6007564&P=3" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....4&P=3</a> <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=378187&CategoryID=38339&LinkLoc=118&LinkType=SiteAd&AdID=506591" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/catalog/.....dID=506591</a> <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=370811&CategoryID=38340" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/catalog/.....ryID=38340</a> Vani on "I Can't Get It Right - HELP" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-cant-get-it-right-help#post-76409 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:31:48 +0000 Vani 76409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ There is a <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3025388?Category=&Search=True&SearchType=keywordsearch&keyword=WYL+in+All+Categories&origin=searchresults">cute top</a> on sale at Nordstrom's that I saw modeled by Diana of Simple Elegance <a href="http://kittyscreations.wordpress.com/2009/06/29/daily-outfit-finding-my-color/">here</a> Sweet Peas tops are also on sale at Nordies.

I have had much better luck at BR and BR Outlet, LOFT, AT Factory, and with Sweet Pea tops at Nordstrom. Sales are huge this weekend so get in if you can!

It was marked down to 30$ with an en extra 30% off. They are offering 30% off all their sale marked merchandise. I was also at Ann Taylor and ATF this weekend and they had some great deals on tops. Do check them out when you get a chance. chewyspaghetti on "I Can't Get It Right - HELP" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-cant-get-it-right-help#post-76405 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:56:05 +0000 chewyspaghetti 76405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Try Banana Republic- especially the outlet or sale rack.

For some reason, I am having a lot of trouble finding tops that go with my business pants and business suits. I am looking for tops that will go with them, but am having a very hard time finding them. I have found a couple of really cute ones on SwapStyle, and I am hoping that they go through. I have been to Kohls and JCP, but cannot seem to find anything. Everything in the woman's department even petites look funny and the juniors department has things that are too young or just too much this "season" and I would like clothes that will "stand the test of time" so to speak. I just don't want to have to keep wearing tank tops and button downs and suit jackets which seems to be all that I have in my wardrobe. Don't get me wrong I love it and it is very much my style, but I would like something pretty, feminine, funky, and able to change it up every once and a while. Any suggestions? I really need help! HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP! I am on a tight budget and very picky about patterns and such. I really like satin and silk as it is comfortable and pretty. Also, in the past couple of weeks I have bought a couple of tops that have been "spur of the moment" purchases and I wore them once or twice and now I hate them. So, I am trying to avoid that as I am on a tight budget. Anyway enough rambling, HELP! Hope all is well!
