BetaRose, I am so excited you liked my list.
I was hoping that would go to good use.
I am not sure what stores you have in your area, but a lot of times you can get nice plus-sized items online. My mom is plus-size and GAP offers extended sizes online, so she'll shop there occassionally. Lane Bryant also has really nice stuff that doesn't screen "I'm larger" like some places do.
I really like skirts that skim just below the knee on we larger women - they flatter most of the problem areas. I've gotten some great skirts at Lerner's that were only about $15-20.
Some department stores also carry Liz Claiborne and Ralph Lauren in their Women's section and you can get great bargains on office basics there!
I also really like wearing capris and cropped pants - I know they say it makes you look shorter, but I am not confident enough about my size to wear shorts, and it makes it cooler to wear capris. They're also a lot dressier than shorts.
HTH,
Kathleen
