[quote=Anonymous]I need some major fashion help.  My DH decided at the last minute for us to attend his law school reunion next month.  Problem is that I'm still carrying around way too much baby fat.  I was overweight before our last baby (6 mo old) but now I'm in the obese category.  I am working on that, but I do need a few nice outfits to wear for this weekend coming up.

I am a petite 16 (maybe 14 on top, but with big nursing boobs) with some angry stretch marks all down my legs so I really don't wear skirts/dresses.  Plus, I have this bulgy stomach thing that wasn't there before.  And somehow I have fat arms now too.  Yuck.  I just don't know how to dress myself now.  Any of my old clothes that I can somehow squeeze into just aren't flattering.  Plus they seem dated.  And my current wardrobe just isn't nice enough.

Any stores that you'd recommend for a few nice outfits in my size?  A fashion consultant who works with this size?

Or better yet, any outfit ideas?  We will have a casual dinner, a slightly more formal dinner, and lots of walking around campus to various social events (wine tasting, etc.) during the day.  It is in the Northeast so hopefully the weather won't be too hot & sticky.

And since this is anonymous I can also admit that a very serious ex-boyfriend will be there (we were all friends in college) so I really don't want to look horrible.  I know I will be fat - no way around that - but I'm REALLY hoping to find some flattering clothes.  And I already cannot wait until the next reunion so I can be smoking hot when I see him again.  :)[/quote]
