[quote=Anonymous]I gained a lot of weight with my second child and I adopted a preppy/classic look then because it was hard to deal with.   Preppy definitely is easier to shop and wear than a lot of other styles if you're feeling self-conscious about your weight.

Stuff that I worked with:

Basics
1) no-iron button down shirts from Eddie Bauer. These come in extended sizes. The quality is very good.  
2) cardigan sweaters from Land's End. These are the best quality cardigans that I've found.
3) plain tshirts by Polo. I buy these on Ebay because they are cheaper.
4) pants from Land's End
5) jeans from Ralph Lauren. I get them from Macy's.
6) ballet flats or driving mocs or Toms to wear most days.
7) a little black dress and heels for going out. (I don't go out much.)

I also buy stuff from Brooks Brothers, Lilly Pulitzer, and Ralph Lauren. Their sizes run out to 14-16 and they have some cute stuff.  Lilly and Brooks Brothers run sales  on-line a couple of times a year. Macys runs sales on Ralph Lauren all the time.

I especially like Brooks Brother for dressier clothes and dresses.

I don't wear a ton of Lilly Pulitzer, but I do love it for accessories. It provides a nice pop of color.
