Color me beautiful is listed in my phone book...the local snob
department store (A&S, etc.) can probly also give pointer...

On acquiring a wardrobe....(Two years ago I had the rattiest
wardrobe in the Michigan math department *grin* but I am now
"respectible"...)...some advice....

For your first couple tries, go with someone who shops a lot and
wears stuff you like...sort of a parity check till you've built up
confidence.....

You eventually zero in on a few stores that tend to have stuff you
like at prices you are willing to pay (I get 50% of my clothes at
one store, check out 3-4 others periodically)....

I tend to like bright colors, but stay away from ruffles (mostly),
silky fabrics, and "revealing cuts"...One reason not to go overboard
and try to build a wardrobe all at once is that once you've worked
somewhere for a while and watched what your peers are wearing (This
varies a LOT even within a small "organizational radius."  For
example, the people I work with dress at least an order of magnitude
more casually than the people who work in the next aisle (same boss's
boss)) you have a better idea of what won't get you laughed at (I
started with a couple "sensible skirts" and a suit and built up from
there...)

The other reason not to try to get a whole wardrobe all at once is
that if you go in thinking "I need 5 skirts and 6 blouses and..."
you'll probly end up with 3 skirts you really don't like...DECENT
PANTS ARE RARER THAN DECENT MEN *Joke,dammit,grin*...but there IS
a lot of junk out there, and if you hit the wrong "fashion season"
there may be even less than usual that suits you....

Anyhow, for what it's worth...
