I have always worked in places which required me to wear casual clothes like jeans. But now on my next job I need to wear Business Casual Clothes. My idea of business casual is pants and shirts/sweaters... I have limited knowledge what else to buy or wear.
How many pairs of clothes should one have in their wardrobe for work? Dry cleaning gets to be expensive. Where to buy these from without spending a fortune?
Also I am looking for flat comfortable pair of shoes - comfort is the most important factor. Any particular store I can find these? I don;t mind spending money on these.
I am going to have to do the shopping within the next few days.
Any suggestions welcome.

Special note before we go any further: JEANS ARE NOT BUSINESS CASUAL. Ever. They are Casual. Period. There isn't any gray area on this. If you wear them to a business, that doesn't transform them into business casual. Got that one? Good. Ok. Moving on. Business Casual is one step down from Business Attire. Business Attire is a suit, or else a dress, preferrably with a jacket. So, Business Casual is dress slacks and a blouse or buttoned shirt, tucked in, with a belt. Or a dress, with sleeves, that is neither cocktail dressy nor 'summer dress'. And never, never sleeveless. Business Casual still means stockings or trouser socks, dressy shoes (not necessarily heels, but those are certainly appropriate) and not something you'd wear to go dancing on date night. It's the suit without the jacket. Hope that helps clarify. Sandee

my office is mostly business casual as well and I usually wear stuff from J. Crew, Banana Republic, Eddie Bauer, Ann Taylor Loft, and sometimes Ann Taylor (they can be too dressy for my office). Nordstroms Point of View department also has some nice clothes. I usually get stuff from Caslon, Semantiks, Nine West. Macys INC Concepts Brand is also nice.
Ann Taylor Loft is probably my favorite place. They have tons of great pants, jeans, etc. that are cute and fashionable.
As far as shoes, i love Kenneth Cole Reaction, dansko. But it all depends on what type of shoe you are looking for. Danskos are the most comfortable shoe.
