I live rural so my options for in-person retail are extremely slim and selection is awful at all of them. I'm not wearing a cropped shirt at work. Why is it all cropped!? I'm in the adult women's section! And I don't want the widest wide leg pants either (they look great on some people...I am not one of them). Where are the medium rise, straight leg pants hiding?

I also no longer have the patience for the checkout ordeal.

"Will you be using your predatory, high interest rate store card today?"

"No."

"Would you like to sign up?"

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"You can save 10% on today's purchase and 5% on future purchases and"

"I SAID NO."

I will buy from the shadiest online retailer now just to avoid getting harassed at checkout. "It's company policy." Well your company can do without my business then I guess. When did harassing customers become the norm?

Anyway. I need business casual work clothes so help a gal out please?

I really don’t want to buy fast fashion from Amazon, SHEIN, Fashion Nova, etc. However, I don’t have the kind of money to buy from department stores such as Bloomingdale’s or Nordstrom. For example, I’m trying to find a cute sweater skirt set, and the paid and organic search results are mostly from SHEIN. I like thrifting, but given my very slim build, it’s usually hard for me to find second hand items that fit well.

I see a lot of Shein-type stores but would like better quality materials and construction. I'm willing to pay more for that but also don't want to break the bank completely.

Just curios what stores everyone loves! Mainly looking for the ones that aren't the ones everyone already knows, like places in the mall, shein, etc.
