Slight drift... does it have to be polyester for you? I highly recommend tencel. It's made from trees and has a feel and behavior similar to rayon (also made from trees) and silk. Also linen and wool flannel.

My "polyester" clothes are wool blazers, silk and/or rayon blouses (purchased on sale over the internet), cashmere cardigans ($30 each at Sam's Club), khaki trousers, and the occasional skirt. You don't have to be uncomfortable to be stylish (you don't have to be fashionable to be stylish, either).

I guess that's how I integrate the two "lives". I try to dress in a way that is difficult for people to pigeon hole. Keep 'em guessing, I say. Not too long ago, while wearing a gray wool blazer, khaki pants, a black silk blouse, and Scandinavian clogs, a kid saw me walking by and, pointing to me, said to his mother, "look Mom, she's a police".
