EWP Conquers Her Fears (Sorta)

I decided it was an odd condition to hate suits and block them from my shopping repetoire. So, I decided to face my fears and go on a suit hunt.

Let me start off by saying I tried. I really really tried. But, gosh, suits are so so terrible. I know there is very limited variety below. I know Banana and J.Crew are my regular go-tos. I swear I had grand plans of touring the world to find the best suiting options. But after a trip to Ann Taylor online that left me vomiting on my laptop, and some other stops on tour de suit that didn't fare much better, I thought it was in my best interest to call off the hunt. It seems that suits, or at least suits I like, aren't really in my future. Sadness. I don't really like having a section of apparel foreclosed to me.

So, with that intro, I give you these suits I could stomach posting.




Banana Republic: Skirt $59, Jacket $150

Banana Republic, Jacket $150, Pants $79


Banana Republic, Jacket $150, Vest $,98 Pants $89



J. Crew, $238


J.Crew, Sale $80





J.Crew, $248

J.Crew, Sale $80


Nanette Lepore, Jacket $495, Skirt $275




Armani Collezioni, Jacket $1,995, Skirt $615


Honestly, the only one I like is the Armani suit, but I don't really have $3,000 sitting around for a suit I'll wear twice a year. I'm rather disappointed in this post. I tried to conquer suits, and the suits won.
