Great Dresses For Work

[Kelli Combs (admin)]

As you all know, we have to look professional when we go to work.  I love to dress up.  I bet I spend close to 12,000 a year on clothes alone.  My husband has no clue - have my own credit card that he doesn't see.  I pride myself on looking the best I can possibly look on my jobs.  I feel I get a lot more respect when I look sharp.  I can really tell a difference.

Anyways, I found this website called Modcloth that is just really great.  I am posting two URLs of two dresses I just bought there this weekend.  I'm hoping the rest of you will like the clothes as much as I do. I am a huge polka dot fan and would have everything in polka dots if I could.  Anyways, here are two dresses I got.  There are many, many more here. 

What I like about the website on reviews is people put what their bust size is and waist and hips and then a comment.  That helps me decide which ones to read because I'm a size 6 with D sized chest and a lot of times clothes don't always look that great if you have a large chest.  I have to be very careful.  It helps to know what size someone is when reviewing what they have to say about an outfit.  They also post pictures of themselves in the outfit, which is very cool.

Let me know what you think.

I'm wearing it to work tomorrow.  Only a half day job in case it's uncomfortable.  I hope not though.

I just got on the e-mail list for Last Call by Neiman Marcus.  I went to Ontario Mills Mall, looking for a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g nice.  I didn't realize it was a huge outlet mall.  But I found a nice blouse there and got on their list.  I gotta say, if I wore dresses (my ankles are too skinny for dresses), they have a few nice ones for work.  http://www.lastcall.com/etemplate/p3E.jsp?uEm=puNv4uS0d6vfQggalg7&a...  And if you wait long enough, they CONSTANTLY have extra 30% off days and extra sales.

Ahhhh, that sounds nice.  We just moved to this area and are still trying to find our way around.  So far I've found a good hairdresser, good dog groomer, good vet, lots of lunch spots to eat, but NO good clothes shopping.  I figured I'd start looking online because it can't be any worse than the mall out here.  Usually the only place I can find good work clothes is South Coast Plaza, and that's just not convenient most of the time.

I just looked at this website.  Very nice.  I have to admit, though, I need to slow down.  I have way too many clothes right now.  I'm almost overwhelmed.  Give me six months and I'll be at it again.  I'm keeping your post in mind, Judy, because you know at Nieman Marcus the quality will be very good.  That's always my concern because I don't want to spend more than 200 for a dress.  That's my limit.

Ross does have some high quality dresses - you can find some designer brands at a decent price.
