Yes, but you have to really weed through Anthro to find stuff that would look good on older women. Partly because Anthro has so many offerings now and b/c it seems they're going after a younger clientele also (20s) with lots of backless / crop things. I find lots of age appropriate stuff there but I do visit the app quite frequently. I assume OP is asking about a store that consistently has age appropriate things that are easy to find, rather than weeding.
Nordstrom is similarly huge and while I do love Saks, it's pricey and big, and it would help to know what brands at Saks to target.

Yes! And for years has been talking about her crisp button ups. I was about to respond and say I wonder if it is the same person and then I reread the post above and lo and behold she mentions the button ups.

Who wears “crisp” button ups anymore? They were a thing when I went to law school 20 years ago. Not so much now. Maybe the Hermes scarves pull it all together

Oh gosh, I'm picturing the "ponte pants and silk scarves" and it is not good, lol.

I don't understand the question. While I won't be wearing most things at Forever 21, for instance, clothes everywhere else are for most people.

Ann Mashburn nothing special

How many silk scarves do you need? Such a weird thing to mention.

J McLaughlin, Bloomingdales, MM LaFleur

Not OP, but I'm 53 and not only am I not ready to buy clothing at any of these places (well, I've had a few work suits from Ann Taylor), I hope I never will be. Ugh. I feel like JJill should have a tagline: JJill -- For women who have given up!

Now that Betsy Fisher, Wear It Well, and Forecast are no more, where should I shop? TIA
