With a new job must come a new wardrobe, mostly because my current wardrobe is a hodgepodge of clothes from high school (that was three years ago) and professional looks suited for Fall and Winter. I kid you not. Just glancing at my closet from my position at the other side of the room, I can count six shirts that I've owned at least since the 12th grade, and another six shirts that are some variation of black.
It's time for a fashion intervention.
As you can see, I'm digging shades of yellow, mint, and a lovely hue of dusty peach. But finding colors I like isn't really the problem.
The tough part is fitting my body. I'm shaped roughly like this:
"A perfect hourglass," my mother chides. Yes. A perfect hourglass with an 8 inch difference between the measurements of my waist and my curves. 8 inches. Ain't no one got clothes for that.
And it's not that I need to lose weight, either (although I probably should). You know what happened when I gained my freshman 15? I gained a couple of inches around the waist, but my boobs and my hips kept their status quo.
I'm trying to find clothes that don't show cleavage (easier said than done with my 34H's), and don't make me look like my waist is as large as my breasts.
I'm leaning toward some cute A-line dresses, a bunch of pencil skirts, and maybe a few somewhat form-fitting tops?
Suggestions?
