Where can I buy a nice suit for under $300?


I have HUGE business meeting in Seattle in 8 weeks and I'm starting to STRESS OUT!  The clients are kind of nervous such a young *girl* took over.  So I want to look mature, confident & ready to take charge, but still look great not boxy?


I was thinking something like this:

Hmmm, I'd actually advise against pink lest it play up your young girliness.  IMO a nice medium-tones gender-neutral color would be best as would maybe a subtle pinstripe.


$20$15$15


Have you tried the Limited for a suit?  They have petite sizes IIRC.

I really love Banana Republic suits and you can usually find them on sale for under $300 or use a code.

Did I just do that? I just said I want to look grown up and I go out & pick a pink shirt?


Thx LMonet, I check out Limited

You could try BR like flknight24 suggested too, but we're about the same size and I can't wear anything from there because even if something technically 'fits' (ie it's not falling off my body) it seems to be cut really generously and is therefore really overwhelming on a small frame.  You might be able to get lucky there with a zero petite though.

I think Ann Taylor Loft is pretty reasonable, too, and they have petite sizes.
