You seemed to be implying that wearing clothes from JCP's makes someone look trashy.

I was just giving another viewpoint and attempting to SUPPORT MY POSITION with some examples. I'm sorry if it pissed you off. And I didn't mean to offend you. Geez!

Perhaps you're male, I don't know. Maybe a woman's viewpoint is somewhat different in this instance. I'm older than you, and I'm FAR from a slave to fashion. In fact, during the winter I quite literally live in sweatshirts and sweatpants -- men's sweats, actually; they're less expensive and by the time they shrink (and they do) in the wash they're just the right size.

However, I'm still employed, and I need a basic assortment of classic clothing to wear. I can't wear jeans every day. I, and other women posting on this thread, are saying we need clothing appropriate for the workplace. Where are we going to get that at a reasonable price?
