I am transitioning from a healthcare job where my daily uniform is scrubs to a professional office setting. While I do have some outfits that qualify as business casual, I need to expand my wardrobe. I generally dislike shopping in general. Any specific websites or retailers you suggest? Already exploring Amazon and Zappos. Thanks in advance!

I get pretty much everything from Value Village, but I am also signed up to Reitmans so I can watch for sales in case a sale lines up with extra money. A lot of the girls in my office have gone the Shein route, and while they are technically business casual it looks like obviously cheap, shitty clothing.

Yeah, i checked out the Shein website today. Was not a fan.

And when it arrives it looks even worse, all creased up and disproportionate.

I've also noticed a lot of people have a tendency to wear the clothes straight outofthe package, and with the chemicals and lead that are in the clothes, I can't imagine that being very healthy in the long term.
