As a 27 year old professional, I’m stuck in that horrible land between teen clothes and mom clothes. Ugh. If you’re looking for trendy but a little more mature but not old, a couple of suggestions:

[ASOS](http://us.asos.com/Women-Curve-Inspire-Size/zvvih/?cid=9577&via=top)- they have some super trendy stuff, of course, but lots of good bits if you look through their stuff. I get a lot of work clothes here, but also going out clothes.

[Forever 21 +](http://www.forever21.com/Product/Category.aspx?br=plus&category=faith_main) is actually surprisingly good. Realize it’s sized for teens, so stuff is a bit shorter. Also, it’s Forever 21, so you can’t expect epic quality. . . but hey, it’s cheap. Lots of super trendy young stuff, but some great blouses and tops.

Another surprisingly good one is the [Kardashian line at Sears](http://www.sears.com/search=kurves?vName=Clothing&cName=Women%27s+Plus&autoRedirect=true&viewItems=50&redirectType=CAT_REC_PRED). If you truly are “curvy” (not just plus sized, but hour glass shaped), this stuff is for you. A few notes: don’t ever pay full price for this line-- Sears frequently has stuff 50-75% off. Also, they are sort of between seasons now, so there’s not much on the site-- in a few weeks they’ll have more. Over the last two seasons I’ve picked up some blazers, a few dresses, a couple blouses, and some great sweaters. Seriously: if you’re hour glass, check that line out.

I wish I could! I have tried curtains and other simple patterns, no skills whatsoever. Did I mention I don’t even have the patience to shop around at the Goodwill stores?

I really appreciate this and all the suggestions and did some shopping this weekend.😃

I’m curvy the other way (e.g. Not plus sized, but hourglass). I like Christopher banks for inexpensive business casual. Cj banks is their plus sized store and might be worth a look, [http://www.cjbanks.com/](http://www.cjbanks.com/)
