i used to wear a TON of black.. but i have no clothes that fit really.. so i need to buy atleast 5 new tops and a few new pairs of pants.
also, comfortable all black shoes? that i could walk in all day?

Re: fashion help: all black outfit
i just need cute ideas.
when i went there, the girl who was doing my job was wearing skinny jeans in black and black flats with a sheer black top and a colored scarf. i could totally do that. except probably not skinny jeans.. i'd totally do it with slacks though..
both
.
that way I can both give some ideas, and give you some actual pieces to go with!
okay....looking now...
Get comfy cute flats (try DSW), a few pairs of simple black slacks and few tops like these:

I don't usually shop online, I just go to the stores when I need something. I shop plus size on the bottom, but not on the top. I have luck at LB sometimes, Macy's sometimes, JCPennys sometimes.
ETA: I can never buy shirts at Target! It drives me crazy. They are all built for much taller people than me and hit my body in the wrong places. The Gap and Old Navy have things sometimes, Ann Taylor also.
