Every woman has her favorite dress. The problem is, it might not be suitable for a work environment. The straps of the dress might be a little too thin for the dress code. Then again, perhaps it is a summer dress that you would love to wear in the winter. What is a girl to do?

For those black summer dresses, consider this Stripe Jacket in Black and White by Live a Little. Cover it with a small jacket and you now have a great outfit that you can wear anywhere and any time. The sleeves are not long, but enough to keep you from getting chilled on the cooler days.

Have a dress that is a little bolder that you need to tone down a bit? This Twill Semi Crop Jacket in White by Live a Little will bring down the striking vibrancy of the dress. You don’t want to be one big, bold print pattern. So separate the wild dress with a soft jacket that will keep the eyes moving on you and not focused on the dress alone.

Try these two jackets. They will make any outfit versatile when you least expect it!

You might need some ideas for your work apparel. The same old garb just might not cut it for you anymore. We have a few ideas just for you. With clothing from AGB, you will be stylish and feeling comfortable and looking great.

The first sophisticated look we have for you takes the Long Sleeve Belted Jacket in White and the Belted Skirt in Black. This combination has a little bit of sassy-sauciness with professionalism to it. The high neck of the collar in the jacket mixed with the way it hugs those hourglass curves is sexy, but in a very tasteful way. The skirt comes to the knee and gives you a little bit of shape.

Next on the list is the Print Satin Top. Satin will make any girl look great and fashionable. The way it allows itself to flow makes every woman look a bit slimmer. The cut of the neck with the outline pattern of the brown in the blouse together will make any woman look superb. You can wear this blouse with a simple pair of jeans, or brown dress pants will make it above casual.

This last idea will give any woman that extra touch of youth we’re all striving for. The Top by AGB has a little bit of poof in the shoulder and a great cut in the neck. Together with the pattern, this top would go wonderfully with the Belted Skirt in Black that was mentioned before. It has a certain spark of youth and sexiness that will make you look fabulous.

Try these clothes from AGB the next time you are looking for work clothes or dress attire for any other occasion. There really is something for everyone and you are guaranteed to be satisfied!

Even a few years ago it was difficult to find professional clothes for a plus sized Diva and forget about petite plus size, it wasn't even an option.

Fast forward to today and the plus size professional woman has numerous options for clothes and one of the best is Ingenuity. More than just large-cut size clothing, Ingenuity takes real consideration into the quality that make plus sized clothing not only look great, but fit great too.

One concern many plus sized women have is wearing pants for the office. A larger person is going to have a bit of a tummy and a regular pants cut will pull and look very unattractive. The Ingenuity Flat Front pants are the answer to this dilemma. Cut so the pants hang flat in the front giving the impression of a flatter tummy, it's ideal for setting a professional look. Paired with a shell top and a jacket that just skirts the hips - this will give you a smooth line that looks sharp!

These pants are available in both plus size and petite plus size in sizes from 14W to 24W and are sure to become a major part of your professional wardrobe.

Okay ladies, warmer weather is here and all those pumpkin pies, turkey dinners and chocolates are still on your tummy and hips? Well, it's time to get your diet in order and while you're on the way to a slimmer you, you can *look* slimmer by using some body molding shapewear.

The Hide and Sleek Body Smoother is the perfect way to fit into your too-tight pants without that unappealing roll that will appear over your waistline. The smoother works by actually holding your body firmly and smoothing the belly, hip and thigh areas by tightly wrapping those areas in breathable, comfortable spandex. It is neither binding feeling nor constricting to wear, but most women lose a size on the average when wearing a smoother. Plus it makes the lines of your clothes sheer perfection.

Unlike body smoothers of the past, the Hide and Seek was designed by a woman that knew what women truly wanted. Many body smoothers had tell-tale seams that well, announced to the world through your clothing that you were wearing a body smoother.

This particular body smoother will hide a multitude of sins. The smoother starts above the waistline and goes to just below the thigh to give you the perfectly slim lines you want. No one has to know that you haven't exactly had time to hit the gym yet and knock off those holiday pounds and when you wear this body smoother, no one will be the wiser - and we certainly won't tell!

Spring is here and the 2008 season is bursting with color.

If you don't have at least one hotly colored item, you're missing out on a fun fashion trend for this Spring. Hot colors have been the rage on the showroom floors and there's no sign this trend is slowing down.

A versatile choice for your Spring wardrobe is a brightly colored shirt. You can pair it with black pants for a sleek look it a fun skirt either shorter for a more kicky look or a longer skirt to create a long sleek line.

While you're choosing a shirt, why not make it wrinkle-free? You can't go wrong with an easy-to-care-for poly-cotton blend that will be ready to go as soon as you pull it from the dryer. Other hot color choices for the Spring 2008 season are lime green shells, bold animal prints, especially zebra prints.

If you prefer something a little more conservative and you don't want to wear hot pink, you can still be in the front step of fashion by adding bright accessories. A small, yet brightly colored hair clip or some brightly hued earrings will fit the bill.

Get in on this fun fashion trend and brighten up your Spring wardrobe with some kisses of beautiful color!

Even a few years ago it was difficult for a plus size woman to find well-made clothes that were suitable for an office environment. Usually the styles that were offered the larger woman consisted of clothing that was simply larger around and little longer without giving any consideration to the actual design such as the arm holes may need to made bigger, the neck of the garment may need to accommodate a slightly larger lady within and this goes for business attire such as shirts, pants were a nightmare with crotches that were too short and jackets often pulled in the middle of the back because they simply weren't cut to fit a larger woman's physique.

One of the best developments for plus sizers is the proper cut of clothing to make it lay on a larger body in a way that is appealing and attractive. The Flat Front Pant by Ingenuity is a prime example of the beautiful clothing that can be created when attention is paid to type of body the clothing is really being designed for. No more ill-fitting pants with fabric pulling in all directions - now you can get a really tailored-look and a flatter looking tummy area with the cut of these pants.

The pants are available in black, stone, navy, ivory and red. Choose two or three pairs of pants, add in a skirt and with the addition of a few of blouses and a jacket or two to mix and match - you can literally have a weeks' worth of outfits that look sharp for the office and will give a very professional appearance without spending your entire paycheck on clothing.

Don't settle for clothes that don't fit your plus sized body any longer! Go for clothing that is specially made to fit and enjoy the looks you get when you look good!
