i'm in forensics (if you know what that is. if not, it's competitive public speaking and you go to competitions, or rather, tournaments), and i am in severe need of a nice suit. i know macys, and jcpenny, but where can i find a simple, plain black jacket & pants (i already have a skirt) that isn't very expensive? i'm not too familiar with price ranges, and i don't care much about quality as long as it doesn't go ripping on me. i just need a suit that i can wear for the next couple years (i'm a soon-to-be sophomore) until i go to college when i'll buy a real woman's suit. please do not suggest jcrew or gap cause although i fit in small-size women's suit, they're far more expensive because they are labelled as women's suits. any ideas?

Missa8305 answered Wednesday July 16 2008, 1:22 am: That's a little difficult since I don't know what region you live in. I live in the south and the first place I would go would be Ross (the dress for less store)... Second would be Goody's Family Clothing... Third would be Kohl's. All of these places are like departemnt stores, and sell many of the same brands-even designer brands-at more affordable prices... Some are even severely discounted.

I know you can find the pants there, and I'm sure one of which would have a nice black jacket. Plus since they're modern and fahionable, they'll be able to be worn again for any other dressy events as well :). [ Jehmehh's advice column | Ask Jehmehh A Question ]
