I need a suit
Do I purchase a skirt suit or a slacks suit?
ARGH.
Its all good ladies.

I would buy a three piece..jacket, skirt and pants. you would get lots of use and could mix and match easily.

[RCT]

Thanks
I am leaving in few minutes to go shopping....

[Cathy]

I would do whatever Ann said. I have to have dd3 critique anything different that I wear. LOL

I got a classic Black Liz Claiborne suit at Marshalls $64.00, Fits perfect. I am exhausted from running around. Dh met me at Kohls, and took the kids off my hands...At Kohls, I found the cutest Linen suit, but the pants didn't fit right, so searched the entire store for more pants that matched...found capris..but not really business like, had two of the sales associates helping me...I crack myself up sometimes, I was in there for ever....so I hit Marshalls, and was lucky after about an hour...argh I hate shopping....dh now tells me I should have just gotten the other outfit too....I am not going back and searching that entire store again for the two things that actually fit me...:lol:

I'm so glad you were able to find something. :) It sounds perfect!! :)

[RCT]

unfortunetly I could NOT find a three piece, I did find one that was so cute, but one size too small. Oh well... went with classic black.....the slacks are cute with my shoes, and the jacket fits perfect. I have such a hard time finding jackets because of the bust. I am happy too...my stomach is still in knots thought...wish this stress would just ease from my body....

[AnnW]

Sounds perfect. You can find a skirt anywhere. Now go get a black and white skirt, black skirt, white skirt and a white jacket, some brightly colored cami's and you have a wonderful mix and match wardrobe.

[Melody]

Sounds perfect. I agree with Ann, keep basics in black in white and some color pieces to mix it all with. :)

great advice, I had planned on getting a new cami today....so I will look for the accessory skirts and jackets...

[RCT]

Ok I am home, I got some great outfits at Kohls, and the nice man gave me my 20% discount even though it ended yesterday.....Did what you suggested Ann and got mix and match black and white jacket & skirt, you could wear them together but not on me.... white slacks, Navy slacks, cute black blazer fitted...three cute camies go with everything.. navy cardigan, new blouse for under the new suit....and a black skirt that goes with the suit....
Now what do I wear tommorrow? The suit pants or skirt......more femine with the skirt....arhg...just glad I have choices now.

What do you guys wear under the camisole shirts? OK, I almost pressed submit when I realized that sounds a little weird. The ones with built in shelf bras aren't enough support for me (not bragging - just old), regular bras show the staps (the style, I know, but again...I'm old) and stapless bras aren't the most comfortable.

a bra....................usually with cami's and a jacket, I don't take off the jacket. if you want to take off your jacket, i woud wear a sleeveless shirt or tank.

I too have a large bust line, I bought great bra at Victoria Secret that has a clear shoulder strap, but mostly leave the jacket on.

Yep, Victoria's Secret is the best - that's all I'll buy these days. Their IPEX is perfect. Hate GAP bras.

I am so envious. We don't have Victoria's Secret here. We can shop online and from catalogues (I love some of those clothes, even the casual t-shirt dresses). But, by the time we add duty, taxes, shipping and converting money, it's costly. Seems to be a better selection for bras too, here we only have a couple of good stores but not a huge selection, they just have the same bras in a thousand colors. :rolleyes:

I'm telling you - you have to try the IPEX. Whatever it costs - its worth it (and no, I do not own any Victoria's Secret stock).

[RCT]

I agree litte pricey but Victoria Secret bras are the best, need lots of support and coverage, so IPEX is the way to go for me too
