the quest for a suit
So, if you were looking for a well-made (I'm talking lined and finished, not Dolce & Gabbana) but relatively inexpensive women's suit in the Boston area, where would you go?
I need to attend an upcoming wedding that will be somewhat formal. I hate the kind of dress that I would have to wear for this, and I want to get a suit. I've been wanting one anyway, so it makes sense.
It's not until the end of next month ('cause, you know, people like those Memorial Day weekend weddings) and I've taken the month mostly off where my job is concerned. So, I have time to look around at different places.
I tried my local neighborhood Goodwill a few days ago, and the Garment District yesterday. The latter had a few things that were nearly right. I'll try again in a month. In the meantime, I am trying to make a list of other places to check. I can afford to buy one new as long as it's not ridiculous, but I want to check out all possible used and discount options first.
- Second Time Around in Harvard Square
- Boomerang in JP
- Filene's Basement
- Urban Renewals in Allston
- Planet Aid in Harvard Square
Any other suggestions?
