HELP dress a woman that just had 2 kids in less than 2 years and lost her figure!!

OK so I'm about 30 lbs overweight right now. I'm really wide in the bottom and have a total muffin top over my pants. I need to go back to work in 2 weeks and can't find anything flattering.

I have very simple (boring) taste and need to buy some INEXPENSIVE clothes that fit.

So are there any budget conscious trendy girls out there that can dress a curvy girl (I'm in a size 12/14 right now)


TIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would spurlge on one pair of black trousers that fit great and go cheap on tops that you can mix and match - wrap tops. Try Target for tops?

These look great - on sale at BR for $70



This is $30 at Target - you can probably find cheaper wrap tops at a TJ Maxx or Marshalls - but see how the ruffle at the bottom would be flattering?



$20 at Target



$20 at Target (I'm not big on pink but you might be).



Old Navy $10 - would be cute with a black suit jacket



$8.99 Old Navy - again - nice with a black jacket

For my "in between" clothes, I went to NY and Co. The stuff is decent and cheap. Get some wide leg trousers and peasant tops. You also can't go wrong with blazers. Just be sure to get them to fit the widest part of you. They really hide a muffin top well- trust me.

Good Luck!!!

I think I bought some stuff from the GAP and Old Navy after I had DD. Try some of the wide leg pants (in black, grey and other neutrals) that are out now...they're pretty flattering on everyone. Then buy some looser fitting tops and mix & match.

JCPenney Worthington line is affordable and attractive AND forgiving!
