Re: Who wears a suit?

I wear suits when I have to give presentations to big clients. Most of them I got at J Crew, I just like the fit and they aren't too $$$. I wore one yesterday with strappy sandals. You can wear a pump, I don't know what kind of shoes you normally wear. Just try on what you have with a suit, you can basically wear any kind I would think.

I do every once in a while. I got my last suit from Benetton.

These are the shoes I wear (except mine are black and they're not suede). I got them from Nordstrom's.

P.S. - my suit is a pants suit

Re: Who wears a suit?

I do wear suits on occasion- when I am going to a corporate client. My 'good' suite is from Ann Taylor- I bought it 5 years ago and it was $500 then! It has flat front pants and single button jacket in chocolate brown and is classic.

the rest of my suits are from the limited- the jackets are $80-$100 and the pants are $50-75.. I find that is best because they are less expensive and versatile since everything in the store matches...

For shoes I usually wear pointed toe kitten heels.

Re: Who wears a suit?

I do and I hate having to. Wasn't always that way - used to be bus. casual. So much more comfy that way. Now we only get bus casual on Fri's in the summer. XOXO has some nice ones... hit or miss and relatively inexpensive. Ann Taylor has beautiful ones too. We also have to wear closed toe shoes. It's the business... Stinks.

ooooh, I will show you my shoes. I wear these sometimes too. You can get away with a lot of shoes.

Re: Who wears a suit?

I do! I buy them at Ann Taylor, Spiegel, Talbots and Annie Sez. Shoes are always Nordstrom or DSW.

Re: Who wears a suit?

I do everyday. I absolutely hate it - can you tell?

I get most of them from Macy's, Bloomingdales or Ann Taylor and a couple from Casual Corner. I must wear pretty professional suits (I can't get away with the ones from Limited and stores like that - very jealous...). I mostly wear skirt suits because I have a hard time finding pants that are long enough for me in my size. Most of my suits are brands like Jones NY, Alfani and Tahari (when I splurge.)

Shoes are also a big issue for me esp. in the summer when all cute sandals and heels are out. I have a hard time finding closed toe, non-sling backs (don't stay on my narrow heel!), professional shoes with a heel.

Right now, I have mid-heel, brown leather closed toe shoes, nice heel, and ankle strap with a brownish/blackish suit and pink sleeveless sweater and of course the dreaded stockings!

Re: Who wears a suit?

Sometime I wear suits, and I mostly get them at Macy's when they are having a sale. Boring!!

I wear closed-toe slingbacks with suits, usually.

Re: Who wears a suit?

I do sometimes - When I go in to our NYC office I have to - it is business attire there. I get my suits from Limited and I've gotten a few from the Casual Corner / Petite Sophisticate - You can great deals from their clearance rack. I usually wear heals with them - sometimes open-toe, sometimes not - Depends on the weather -
