Where Can I Find a Woman's Suit Jacket/blazer This Time of Year?

I need a suit jacket or nice blazer, ASAP.... but since it's spring, I'm having a hard time finding one in stores. I need something professional but girly to wear with a pencil skirt. Any thoughts? I need this for Friday, think if I order something online and overnight it? I'm nervous it won't be right if I don't try it on since I'm so petite. Any website recommendations anyway?

What can I do next?

The last jacket I bought was from The Limited. I also like J.Crew for suits (more expensive but great quality). Both seem to have suits year-round.

Do you have an Ann Taylor or Ann Taylor Loft near you? I just saw some cute, springy career type jackets in there last week, and they carry petites as well.
Banana Republic or Talbots would probably be good to check out too :)

Penney's -- take the skirt with you so you are sure they look good together. btw ---- solids are best for a professional look.

Check JC Penneys or Khols. They usually carry womens suits all year and I am sure you can find just the blazer.

Do you have another interview?

Good Luck !! :-)

Try Ann Taylor and Banana Republic. They carry petite sizes and always have professional clothes. Love their clothes...most of my wardrobe is from there.

I like the suggestion of Anne Taylor and J crew. Also, you might check out J. Jill. They have some cute cotton and linen fitted jackets. My mom, who is a professional, gives me her left overs and throw outs and I like pairing a J. Jill jacket with slacks or pencil skirt.

And good luck on the interview!!!

Any department store should have them. Also, try Burlington Coat Factory for some savings.

Hi, R.:

I would go to thrift stores. I buy all my blazers from there. Of course, I go frequently so I can see if any are available.
Good luck.
