Also, this may or may not work for other people, but after a few years
of building my professional wardrobe, I'm getting great results from
online shopping. It's great -- I know exactly what size and cut pants
work for me, so I can just keep an eye on the sales rack at
anntaylor.com and get pairs when they come up. If I'm uncertain about
what a particular color descriptor or pattern looks like I can always
ask someone (and you can always call their 1-800 number and talk to
someone who will describe everything for you). This obviously works
best when you have a very clear idea of what styles you prefer. You
can go through your wardrobe with your daughter and figure out how
your favorite outfits are cut, or just go into the store and find a
knowledgable salesperson who will be able to advise you about fit etc.
I love online shopping because you get a brief description of what the
piece is, plus info from the label like fabric and wash instructions.

Exactly. I shop at Lane Bryant, but in the past, I've gone with my
daughter. She's nineteen, and has an awesome fashion sense. Unfortunately,
she's moved to Hawaii, so she won't be able to join me for such shopping
trips.
Shortly, I'll be just another person living alone. I have answers for most
of the situations I'll face, but since I have such a terrible fashion sense,
I'm trying to plan for that upcoming eventuality.
I do prefer pants outfits to dresses, so that does simplify some things, but
I want to make certain I put together an outfit that's professional and
appealing.

The thing about going the Ann Taylor loft or buying Liz Clayborne stuff the
price is a bit high so you try for sales. The quality is great and those
brands usually make clothes which are stylish for years. So you can buy a
few things and really change your wardrobe.
An easy way to add color and accent to a wardrobe is to wear jewelry. I
have a few very nice pieces I wear for special occasions and several pieces
which look nice but are far less valuable which I wear everyday. Literally,
I wear necklaces most of the time when I go out and it adds lots of interest
to my outfits.
Buying silk teeshirts (short sleeved blouses) in a variety of bright colors
to wear with black pants and under otherwise more neutral suits works well.
If you have a suit of a particular color, find great color combinations for
a blouse or two to go with it and buy those hangers you can hang a skirt,
blouse and suit jacket on and then keep them all together.
Look out for Nordstrum's catalogs and Macies in January when sales hit.
