What would you wear? Major wardrobe help needed.
What would you wear to dinner at a nice restaurant (not fancy, think skirt or dress but not cocktail attire) and a sexy show in Las Vegas?
Please note: I have big boobs so many things do no fit, but I am looking for ideas so any ideas you throw my way I will listen to and see if I can modify to fit me.
Also, I cannot wear heals, period, so please help me find something that is cute and appropriate with flats.
PICTURES would be the most helpful. I am finding myself to be completely inept with dressing myself lately and need guidance.
BONUS points if you can make daytime clothing suggestions too (I am thinking of getting some of those cute jeans that stop high kind of like pedal pushers but a little longer and wearing with colorful flats but drawing blanks on tops, major points if you can show me how to wear a thin belt with a outfit).
Re: What would you wear? Major wardrobe help needed.
I'll try to look at some specifics and post later, but since I know you are a Nordstrom fan like me, are you aware of their personal shopping service? It sounds like it might be helpful to you in this case.
It's completely free, there is no minimum amount you have to spend, and the person I worked with last fall was so sweet and helpful and not at all pushy. You talk with them briefly to make an appointment and discuss what you're looking for, your sizes, preferences, etc. When you get there, they will have a bunch of stuff pulled already in the fitting room in your size. They will help you find other clothes, colors, sizes, etc. depending on what you like, and even bring in people from the shoe department, lingerie, accessories, etc. to help you if you need those items.
I know the Walnut Creek Nordstrom might be too far for you but I have the name of the girl who helped me there if you're interested. Just PM me.
For daytime... Oxfords are really 'in' right now.
Checkout these at JCrew (you seem like a jcrew style kinda girl):

This look might work for dinner:

I thinks these shoes are super cute! They're made my Naturalizer. I have a pair of shoes that are Natural Soul by Naturalizer and I LOVE them. They are soooo comfy and not as expensive as Naturalizer shoes. This happens to be famous footwear but they have this brand at Kohl's.

You could also invest in a nice pair of trouser jeans. You can easily dress them up or down. I also have big bewbs (34 DDD) so I feel your pain. It's hard enough to find a DDD bra with a 34 band let alone a top that fits well. I've always had good luck with black v-neck tees from target. They're also easy to dress up or down.
