Excelle

Great article. A few simple sewing skills will also help with fit. I use a couple of plus resale shop in our metroplex that are known for having brands that I know and trust.
This is also a good place for accessories. I found a purse strap to replace a torn strap on one of my more expensive purses for $1.50. Occasional garage sales are a good place to.

Great article!! I especially agree with Item Nos. 6 and 7.

Any time I need some nice business clothes, there's one place I'm guaranteed to go -- Goodwill, baby!!!! I start a new job on Monday, and needed to upgrade from the ill-fitting "exec uniforms" I wore for my last job (at a uniform company). Already having a couple of nice turtlenecks for the cold season in Wisconsin, and a couple of pants, I wanted to throw in a bit more - in order to feel like my choices were huge. 3 pairs of pants and probably 6 turtlenecks later, I was writing out a check for $45! That was less than ONE PIECE my husband had to buy a couple days earlier to attend a company function. I hit Goodwill for all of my fancy dresses too. The nice thing (besides the cost) is that if your taste changes further down the line - you don't feel so guilty not wearing a piece anymore. Chances are, you've gotten your $5.99 worth out of it, and you can feed the cause by donating it back to the store! What a great way to reduce, reuse and recycle! Booyah! I started shopping this way as a teen, and I'm 38, now. I wouldn't be surprised if I was buried in a nice dress -- from Goodwill. :)

Great article! I'm sharing this to my friends and family.

Thanks,
