I'm 36, and I recently went through a fashion "transition." For what it is worth, I'm 5'4" and a size 8. I was getting carded regularly, and had a lot of people commenting that I looked like a college student. Looking back on it, I blame my clothes - I was still shopping at all the places I shopped at when I was a teenager!

The first thing I will say is to ditch Gap, Banana Republic, J Crew, and Old Navy. Those stores are not aiming for your demographic. At best, you will look like a 30 something year old woman who is trying to dress like a professional 20 year old. Not a good look.

Then, depending on your budget, try some of these stores:

Nordstroms (Theory is a great line) 
White House Black Market (amazingly nice quality and fit) 
Lands End (for certain basics only - 12:54 is SPOT ON) 
Next Direct 
Macy's INC line often has some good pieces 
Ann Taylor 
LOFT

What distinguishes BR and J Crew from AT or INC? Just curious. All seems similar to me.[/quote]

I think it is the number of pant options that don't come in "skinny fit" and/or "cropped."

Don't get me wrong - nothing wrong with a skinny fit pant suit.  [b]But if you are 35 + . . . . just not a good look[/b].  [/quote]

Anything looks good if you have a fit and slim body. I see MANY 35+ women with great legs, butt, and arms who are rockin' skinny pants and short skirts of all sorts. However most DC women do not quite fit that. Many women have secretary ass and this is where women need to be careful.[/quote]
