I also strongly recommend thrift stores for anyone on a budget. If you can spend a little more, you can find quality clothes at outlet stores. I also bought a lot of clothes from "mom" type stores like L.l. bean and Land's End that have held up wonderfully to crawling on floors and frequent washing. I'll be able to wear those clothes (that I bought over a year ago) when I start my CF in the fall. When I first started clinic, I bought a lot of stuff from H&M and Target because it was cheap. Most of it only lasted a semester and I would have been better off buying one or two outfits of better quality. As for style, I've found slacks with a nice sweater or T-shirt and blazer to be the best combination of professional and comfortable.
