[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, in your mid-50s, with a leadership role and a lot of public speaking, you need to spend money on your clothes. Some of the brands mentioned here scream entry-level to me.  (Talbots?? Banana Republic?)

Go to Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Saks or another high-end store and get a personal shopper. Make an appointment and plan to spend some time there. They will have you try on clothes from multiple top designers to get a feel for what you like and whose clothes look best on you. You do need to buy something there, but agree with another poster to start looking at the high end brands on resale.

Think quality, not quantity. Invest in top-line suits, shoes and mix/ match skirts, jackets, dresses, blazers etc.  Then you can start filling in seasonally with new tops, sweaters, blouses and other things that are less expensive.[/quote]

OP would do better with a subscription service than a department store.  Have you actually been to these places recently?  They are barren, and they certainly don't have any petite styles.[/quote]
