For people with smaller waists / larger hips I have really found that the “curvy” cuts make a HUGE difference. No more enormous gaps in my jeans waistband. Helps at all size levels. Jcrew, Ann Taylor, banana republic / gap all have good variants in these kinds of cuts. Not the highest end of fashion but fits well and feels GREAT

😅 there's space even with the curvy cut sometimes. #curvygirlprobs

My waist to hip ratio is a little tricky to deal with. I'm starting to feel more confident and I really want to start building a wardrobe I feel good about. thanks for the help! 🥰

I second BCG1. Have long struggled especially with pants being too tight on the hips / tights and too loose on the waist and curvy cuts help. Madewell for jeans too. Good work!!

Congrats op!!! I am pear shaped and all of my work clothes are from MM Lafleur- I have found their sizing accommodates curves well.
Also Madwell for casual but I usually have to try things on first.

My husband, who had a successful career but is not yet 40, wants to retire and look after our kids while actively investing our money. I enjoy consulting and will gladly keep working.

Been passed over for promotion twice (had support from multiple partners both times). Received the top performance rating every year since joining the firm (6 years), which I’ve heard is rare. When passed over, the partners say there were others who have been waiting longer (not necessarily with the highest ratings) and that I should “keep doing what I’m doing” and basically wait my turn. Anyone else face this and have any suggestions/guidance?
