cute, but these dresses are for the small-chested. i need something that will cover up a real bra.

Not really - Dont consider myself small-chested, Im a 34 C, and I wear a tank top under sometimes.

Actually, I think it's not just about bra size. I can't wear anything like this partly because I'm a 32DD but also because my ribcage and waist are really small. This would just look maternity on me. I think it works best on frames where there is not such a big contrast between bust and the rest of the torso.

My go-to outfit this summer-- khaki linen pants with drawstring waist with a nice quality rib-knit tank top and flip flops that have a plaid bottom thick braided straps. For going out I pair the pants with a nice sleeveless top and pair of dressier gold thong sandals.

The linen pants are key because they can go casual to the park or dress up for a nice dinner. They need to be a nice quality.

Instead of flip-flops, look for a slip-on casual sandal. They look nicer than flip-flops, but you still have the ease of not needing to bend over and buckle yourself into and out of the sandal every time you leave the house.

I can recommend a great inexpensive tailor: Cheryl Lofton.http://cheryllofton.com/Cheryl.html
She can redo your suits if you have lost weight or do basic alterations. Lots of positive reviews on Yelp. She also makes custom clothes.

Maybe you should have thought about how your clothes would fit before you got ridiculous fake boobs for you size.

Summer: Casual dress and flat sandals for the most part. Many cute ones out there, add a piece of interesting jewelry and you are good to go (and a great bag) So comfortable, chic and cool!


Fall/Winter: Black leggings and tall boots (flat) with a wrap sweater and cute long sleeve t shirts underneath. Ditto on jewelry and a great bag, perhaps a dark red, teal or cognac color. I alternate this look with two other uniforms: great fitting jeans and a cashmere sweater and boots; black above the knee skirt with opaque black tights and a sweater that is interesting. Bag and shoes are important. A nice slim cut "puffer" jacket (long) or a coat from JCrew or if you can afford it Max Mara would round out a look. For jeans/hanging out at soccer type practice, I often wear a Patagonia jackets in the fall.

Good luck, it's not that hard really.

BTW: I think most of the above look can be achieved between Target/ Forever 21/9 West/ and Loehmans -- if money is any issue. Gap is supposed to have great jeans this fall and Old Navy always has a few on point things. Ballet flats are great with jeans in the early fall too.

DO NOT wear sweats but a pair of nice fitting yoga pants in black might be a good option with some wrap sweaters and long sleeve ts, as well. Also, get a great fitting bra (or 2~!) makes a big difference.

Have fun!

I go to the gym daily at noon, so I am almost always in gym clothes - yoga pants and tank top with keens. No sense in getting dressed for the pre-gym playground/storytime or the post-gym playground/walk. I have a 2 month old and a 17 month old and am filthy by the end of the day no matter what I wear.

I don't really spend lots of money, but I think I look OK. My usual outfits:
- dresses (Gap or American Eagle)
- denim dress (Gap)
- cargo pants with T-shirts
- denim skirt with T-shirts

For colder times - jeans of course
