Barami Womans Suits By Debbie831 on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
I work in an office and need to dress up everyday (except for Friday, yeah its jean day!) I am very tall and slendor so I have a hard time finding clothes that fit and look nice. I also am at the age that I don't want to look like I am trying to be 18 nor do I want to look like I am wearing my grandma's clothes. It can be very frustrating!
I found a store in Chicago when I was out there that I fell in love with. It is called Barami and there clothes are made for the women who want to dress stylishly. There selection was fantastic. I was a little concerned on the price but I fell in love with one of the suits there so I bought it.
I have had this suit for 6 years now and it still looks like new. I get all kind of compliments when i wear it to work. It is very comforatable and in 6 years it has never gone out of style!
Bad news, the store has closed - more bad news - they are online but their styles have changed and looks like they are leaning more to the younger crowd!
It does have to be dry cleand but I don't mind that and all in all even though I paid a lot more than I normally do for clothes I have gotten my money's worth. I just wish I would have been able to pick up a few more suits from there.
Sorry I was excited about writing this I didn't even describe the suit. The suit that I bought is tan color with a light green pin stripe. It is perfect actually for all season and thats what I love the most about it. I can where it in summer with sleeves top or in the winter with a turtle neck! Sorry the tag is faded and I don't remember what it is made of, but it isn't heavy, just very comfortable to wear.

Thats a shame, sometimes change is not neccesarily good :(
Good looking women's suits in classic styles are very hard to find. Unless you are willing to pay $350 or more, or get lucky at Nordstroms Rack, it is pretty much a needle in a haystack type hunt. Lands End has a couple in a wool cashmere blend that are very elegant but they sell out fairly quickly.
Glad you found a classy suit to meet your needs. Sometimes, it's worth paying more for quality, especially if it's something you really like.
Sorry to hear the store closed and I would certainly look on ebay as Tink suggested. You can usually find everything there if you look hard enough. Would love to hear what the suit is made of and what it looks like, perhaps a picture?
Wonder why they went out of business. Sounds like a great store. There just are not enough stores out there that cater to 30 to 50 ish working females :0(
This sounds like a very snazy business suit! I think women look so great when they were suits, especially the ones where the suit coat is tailored to a women's body. I love a suit jacket paired with a skirt...very nice! :o) Sorry to hear your store closed and they seem to be catoring to a younger crowd. But it's lasted you 6 years, that is awesome!
Oh I hate when a nice store up and closes! It is hard to find clothing these days that are not geared towards the younger crowd. Sounds like you found a great suit and is still going strong after 6 years!
Your suit sounds beautiful & doesn't it just beat all that the physical store closed? I had the same problem as you when I was out in the working world-you've gotten some good suggestions here from the posters where you could possibly look & I will throw in my 2 cents & add the Terry Lewis collection on HSN (of all places!). Her line spans the gamut of sizes & I picked up a few pieces for clothes to wear to church. I wish you luck, my friend!
I appreciate that you went back in and gave us the discription of the suit. It sounds really pretty. Sorry to hear that the store closed, though. How lucky are you to get to wear jeans every Friday, I know some places save that for special occasions.
Oh wow! 6 years? You have gotten your money's worth from that suit. Too bad they have changed their styling.
