Is there a place in the metro area offering professional clothes

[question everything]

to women entering the workforce?

I remember reading about it - not even sure whether it was in Minnesota.

And.. these days, I am not even sure how "professional" - i.e. the "dress for success" from the 80s - men and women dress.

1. Consignment and thrift stores are good places to get a deal.

Especially in the "well off" burbs where the professional women change their wardrobes every year or so.

[question everything]

2. Thanks. I once read that many of the clothes that goodwill gets

end up being shredded and turned into a pile of rugs. And this would be pity. But will try.

3. Also check out ARC of Hennepin County.

5. Thank you. Indeed, I drove by the one close to me and they assured me

that they do go through the clothes and what they don't need, they give it to a subsidiary, or something for further sale.

In Minneapolis.

Go for it!

6. Yes, this is the one I was thinking about

Glad to know that one is available in Minneapolis. Will look into them.
