As a sales professional, sometimes I gotta bring the heat! So, my favorite way to do this is a sharp tailored blazer. Why a blazer? With my shape being more pear (thanks to the extra 50lbs from my 19month old son Kyle), I need something that will define my non-existent waist and a tailored blazer does this well! And, as usual, I pair with my trusty Houston Trousers from Lane Bryant.
