Once I opened myself up to possibilities I found so many new things! If it looks hideous, only you and the dressing room mirror (and maybe your best friend with great fashion sense) will know, and you will be just that much fashion-smarter for the experience.

Me, personally? I want to project "hip fat girl." Or "smart fat girl." I seek out what flatters me primarily, and go with classic standards but purchase one or two pieces each season that go with the trends. Above all, I find accessories that are either 1) trendy, but not expensive or 2) something that goes with my personal artistic taste-- which is outside of 'trend' but carries its own stylish weight. I love scarves, interesting earrings, unique-looking necklaces... etc.

But that's all me, lady, it depends on your own tastes and your desired image!

Either is not flattering.

Did I miss it...are you looking for casual clothes, go out clothes, or work/business clothes?

Oh, another rule. Do NOT pull off the tags/throw away receipts until you are certain you will keep it/like it/fits. Make sure and decide/try it out/on before the return date expires. It SUCKS to have clothes you wish you'd returned in your closet and there is no reason you can't change your mind and take something back.

When you go back, you'll probably find something else, too.

Oh, and don't forget the right shoes. I would go for styles that are most comfortable to you...at first. Gradually work up to higher heels {if you want to}. They do make the legs look nice, I like the ones with the straps around the ankles as well as boots are back for the winter....

Mostly...

Have Fun!!!
