[quote=Anonymous]OP - I am the same shape as you and luckily, there is a lot out there for us.  I think your instincts are spot on point based on the links you posted.  With those types of outfits in mind, I'd go to Nordstrom Rack and try to locate similar pieces. They often have a good selection of Hugo Boss and Tahari suits and dresses.  They have a lot of Theory suits and separates too, but those are hit or miss for me (the blazers fit me well but I'm too curvy for a lot of their pants).  I'd do a mix of classic with more modern cuts.  I would stay away from cropped pants as a PP said, BUT a lot of dress pants are now ankle length, which is different.  I think ankle length would be fine for you -- I wear mine with a classic blazer or blouse to stay somewhat conservative.

What is the attire of your potential clients? Do they tend to wear business casual? If so, then I'd take it up one notch from there - a blazer over a dress for instance.  If your clients are mostly wearing business attire, I'd do the same -- classic suits with a pretty blouse, nice shoes and bag, interesting jewelry.

One final point and I might get flamed for this:  wear some makeup.  Do something to even out your skin tone, add some color (if you tend to be on the pale side), etc. You don't necessarily have to wear a lot.  Even a little makeup will make you look even more polished and put-together, and I think it tells your clients that you care enough to put in a little effort.[/quote]
