Whenever she needed a smart suit for a job interview, she would go early in the morning to a high end fashion shop and tell the shopkeeper that she needed a suit for her sister who was unwell, asking if she could buy it, let her try it on at home, and then return it the following day in case it didn’t fit. She would then wear the suit at the job interview (carefully hiding the attached price tags) and then bring it back the following day. She never required the suits for the actual jobs, so there was no point in buying them.
