Trying to find cute shirts that go with jeans or nice pants for work.

Most of what I have is all dry clean. I added up my dry cleaning bill for last month and it was a lot.

I had bought a couple of what I thought were cute shirts/blouses online and I got them. Horrible. I looked like a butterfly in one of them.

Anyway, I'd love to find something classic, no big birds or tie dye type stuff, 3 quarter sleeve or longer.

Where do mature women find these?

LL Bean is your friend.

Poshmark for bargains in better brands. I very seldom buy from online or brick and mortar stores any more. Got great bargains of Ralph Lauren.

These are 'used' clothes although some are new with or without tags sold by shopaholics who are clearing out their closets.

Wish I'd have known about Poshmark years ago. I could have saved myself a fortune.

I forgot about J.Jill.

I did get a cute shirt, wore it a few times and I loved it. The material just started to come apart.

My one sister is thin and wears cute dresses and Lilly Pulitzer stuff which does not look good on me at all.

I need to be able to try things on.

My husband orders T-shirts from LL Bean which I borrow to wear at night but that's it.

I shop Dillards. That's as high end as i go. But I always find something I'm looking for.

You might try Lands End, as they have classic looks. Even J C Penney can have some cute leaning classics.

I like the styles and tailored fit of Talbots. I am thin so I need the tailored fit. I purchase all my slacks from Talbots. I have also purchased a couple of casual dresses. I also prefer three quarter length shirts and have had no problem finding them. They carry solids, stripes and a few florals, patterns with nice variety of colors.
