ORIGINAL: AAkasha But what about for skirt/leggings/pants? :) You should be a personal shopper! It takes a very unique fitted jacket to look good on me, I feel. I can pull it off with a very nice business suit if I look hard enough. I have a petite frame and big boobs. I don't have broad shoulders. This makes it a bit of a challenge! :) Akasha I personally hate the look of pants tucked into/rolled up above boots, but it really is just that -- personal. Leggings would be cute under an appropriate-length skirt for the fall season. In my opinion, if you're going to wear knee-high boots, it's pretty much down to skirts with or without leggings. As for the jacket... I feel your pain, I'm pretty much the same build. I haven't been able to find a button-down shirt that fits without having to be tailored/altered in... god, I don't even remember how long ago it was. For a casual/business-casual look with a jacket, find one that goes in at the waist so as to have some sort of structure to it, then leave it unbuttoned. Something with a bit of blousing up at the top of the sleeve to add feminine detail could also work to your advantage to make your shoulders look a bit wider/proportionate. Beware of shoulder pads, though, because they can sometimes be *too* much and make you look like a linebacker. Me shopping though... wooooo, that's dangerous! [:D] Although it sounds like fun. I also used to have aspirations to start my own clothing line. In fact, I made my own allowance in high school by selling original clothing pieces/designs on eBay. Man, those were the days... Edited to add about the tunic top and leggings: be careful with the loose-fitting top and a large bust. Since the boobs hold the fabric further away from the body, it can have an unfortunate side effect of making you look pregnant or heavier than you really are, unless it's a tunic-LENGTH top, not one of the ballet-style tunics that have no discernible waistline.
