So apparently I really don't have a concept of what business casual is. Right now I'm in college and and starting to do some networking in the professional world(by the way my major is public relations) and I'm kinda in a clothing rut. I was wonder what stores(in the states) you girls shop at for this kinda thing.

i shop at h&m to get "quick fix" items and basics like fitted t-shirts
for anything thats a staple item i will go to bananna republic or anthropologie, ralph lauren etc.

but seriously hit marshalls or jc penny i always see nice designer stuff for less than half the normal retail price

Banana Republic, and some items from gap. PR is a pretty creative, trendy field right? If so you can get away with more trendy, young items than business casual for someone in, say, politics would mean.

and make sure you say it like heidi klum "bah-na-nuh republic".
atleast i do.
