Thanks for all the help. I got a ton of PM's from people once they saw what my gf was looking for. SourPatchin... I do appreciate your suggestions but keep in mind... like you said how you are the best at gaining wait etc... my gf is the best at knowing what styles she likes.

Unlike most women she doesn't focus on the "latest style" or "girly" clothes. She's very down to earth, not interested in looking "hot" but nice, and frankly it's one of the things I like most about her.

Thanks all for your help! She is very appreciative.

if she wants to find clothes that fit and have a higher quality she's going to have to shop at better stores...you will NOT find good quality clothing in sears..its like buying electronics at a clothing store. Thats not what the store is made for.

Also, you say they are too long pants..how tall is she?

It's not so much the cost, though that does play in the decision but it's the problem of FINDING what she's looking for. She doesn't mind spending $40 on a pair of jeans if they are worth $40. It's more of a difficulty of finding stores that carry what she's looking for. The above lists were a great help and if you know any not mentioned that are similar to what she said were right on, post away!

i'm the same way, and i wear about the same size as your girl. i end of getting most of my clothes from REI, but it's rare that any of that qualifies as work clothes. i get work stuff from j. jill, express (just pants), and the gap mostly (well, i used to get stuff at the gap, now they've sort of changed their style and i have a harder time finding things i like). steinmart is a good place for plain button up dress shirts, polos, etc. i rarely find anything else there. i'll occasionally get a shirt at talbots when my mom drags me in there. i've found a few things recently at target and old navy (all linen stuff). i really don't like the "trendy" shit, esp when it costs $texas.

oh, llbean and land's end can be good sources for plain dress shirts too.

how do you cats wear linen - it's on me for 10 minutes and it's a big bag of wrinkles

5/30/2007 2:35:10 PM

I was going to reply with what my gf wears, but the ones I know have been listed. She goes to other designer and boutique stores that I cound never tell you the name of because many are oversees.

^ I'm not a female, but my linen pants don't get excessively wrinkled, but that may have something to do with them being professionally laundered.
