I'm done with the blacks and I need different colors or color combinations in my wardrobe. I'm on the heavy side and it helps me with my confidence, especially my job involves a lot of people-facing, to wear clothes that make me look leaner. So black on black, or black-heavy, has always been my go-to. Can you suggest other colors or styles that have a similar slimming effect? I want a change so bad!!

Choose colors that compliment your complexion/hair color/eyes, etc. There are color analyses that you could do online.

Also, don't be afraid of prints/textures. In the fall/winter I love plaid, tweed, and other textures like velvet etc.

Proper fit is more important than color as far as looking polished. Getting clothes tailored is an extra expense but makes all the difference.

As far as styles, I love a matching set or suit. With a camisole or bodysuit underneath, polished handbag, nice flats/heels it's an easy outfit with minimal effort but always looks pulled together.

Eloquii, Universal Standard and even Torrid have solid workwear pieces.

Pinterest has a ton of inspiration for plus-size outfits.

I’m a 7th year associate. I’ve practiced L&E my entire career in big law for large multi-national companies. I like my job, but I’m burned out. I have two kids under two and will, in all likelihood, go for gold and make it three under three to be done. I’m over traveling. I’m over traveling for trials. I’m over litigation in general. I want to switch sides of the v and open my own firm. I’m digging into how feasible this would be for me. Does anyone have any good resources? Books, podcasts, etc
