Just thought I would mention it because I've always thought they have a cute selection of work clothes. And very inexpensive when on sale. They're running a end of season sale and $25 when you sign up for their email! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conservative-work-clothes-where-to-buy#post-2436922 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 22:19:50 +0000 Mae 2436922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: thank you!!</p> <p>@Madison43: :silly: </p> <p>@regberadaisy: I mostly need blouses and ny&amp;co XL are always juuuust a little too tight :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conservative-work-clothes-where-to-buy#post-2436917 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 22:16:28 +0000 regberadaisy 2436917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I feel like New York &amp; Company has nice stuff! Their sizing runs big and I think they go beyond 12? Not sure what your definition of "plus size" is. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conservative-work-clothes-where-to-buy#post-2436898 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 21:56:21 +0000 Madison43 2436898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: @blackbird: have you guys seen Dress Barns new ads??

Which makes it hard. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conservative-work-clothes-where-to-buy#post-2436852 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 21:28:19 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2436852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well my first suggestion was going to be Ann Taylor.... What about White House Black Market? </p> <p>ETA: Maybe Lands End? ASOS or Talbots? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conservative-work-clothes-where-to-buy#post-2436847 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 21:24:04 +0000 Mae 2436847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having trouble finding work clothes. My office dress is very conservative. I don't have to wear suits every day, but it is about as conservative as it could be otherwise. Colors are okay, but patterns are not. Only nice fabrics. Basically women wear solid color dresses, slacks, or skirts, with nice dressy sweaters and blouses. I feel like this sort of stuff is kind of hard to find anyways, but even more so because I am plus sized which means I have a hard time finding tops that fit well in non-stretchy fabrics from places like Anne Taylor or BR. </p> <p>So far I've gotten some stuff from Nordstrom and Macys, and a couple tops from Maurices, but I feel like I've gotten what I can from those places right now. Any other suggestions? </p>
