And seriously, Target is awesome for basics. I got a ton of pencil skirts and cardigans there. And Zara really does have some very reasonably priced career stuff sometimes. And they started online shopping recently, although I'm sure they must have on in the Mall of America.

OK, just kidding. The closest stores are in Chicago. It is an awesome store though. It's a Spanish brand and they have some nice but trendy stuff at lowish to medium price points.
Hello! I just got done watching TV and relaxing with FI, now he is internetting and so shall I.
MuSu, the vast majority of my work wardrobe is from JC Penny. It's not quite as cheap as Target or TJ Maxx, but they have a lot of variety and good quality stuff.
I hate the Nordstrom's rack at MOA. It's always a zoo in there, even if the mall is relatively calm.
I wonder which Goodwill around me would be the best to look. Is it stupid to assume that a Goodwill in a more affluent suburb will have a better selection? I live near a pretty "rich" suburb. There is a Goodwill there, I know that for sure.

MuSu, I've had better luck with second-hand stores in more affluent suburbs. However, the Salvation Army here in Bloomington, which I would not consider an affluent suburb, has tons of crazy brand name stuff for super cheap. I saw a real Burberry bag there for $20. Insanity.
