[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JC Penney is good for basics.

You're about to hit sale season - if you can hold out til right after Christmas there will be tons of super cheap clothing.  Ann Taylor and Loft and Talbots seem to be struggling and stuff will be even cheaper in Jnaury.

What's your normal style?  What do you need?  Could you get by with two pairs of black pants and a handful of sweaters or tops with cardigans, or do you need suits/jackets?

I am 5'2 and petite XL.   I have good luck at the outlet mall versions of Ann Taylor and Talbots.  Those malls usually have a Loft as well.

Good luck.[/quote]

OP here, I'm also 5'2" but whereas before I was an XL, now I am a large and some larges are too big. I'll check the Outlets in Leesburg and JC Penney as others have suggested. Thanks![/quote]

PP.  The stores I mentioned do have smaller sizes in petite.  I find that fits are proportionate as I gain and lose weight.  You will have no trouble finding size M if there are Ls and XLs available of a particular piece.

Try Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda Petite Jeans.  They are cheap and widely available.  Kohls, Costco, Macy's.  Online too.  Buy a few sizes and return what doesn't work.

You can wear the black, khaki, and dark wash with ankle boots and some business looks.

BTW, I can afford more expensive clothes.  I've just discovered that more expensive ones don't fit well - usually because they are for taller, proportionately skinnier types - and because the materials are usually fussier and more fragile.  More drycleaning and not easy to remove stains from.[/quote]
