Women's Apparel

Perfect for the Office

The Silver Lining 7044 SE Milwaukie Ave, Portland, OR. http://www.silverliningco.com/

This store carries clothing for the conservative upscale shopper. There are active, casual and evening clothes. The designer brands I often see here are Chicos, Talbots, St Johns, Coach,  Eileen Fisher, Nike and Speedo. In the back room you will find shoes and bags. Each item is marked with a date. When the item's date ends, the price will be reduced from 30% to 50%. So visit on a regular basis and keep your eyes open. There is a great plus size section on the  back right wall. Prices are reasonable $$. I visit  often.
