Thanks for the clarification on the focus on the face thoughts. I'm following you now!
Yes, modesty as a lifestyle is certainly different from what we are discussing here! I too learned some eye opening things when searching for places to purchase clothing! LOL.
Men's pants are far better than women's for the most part, aren't they? They have pockets, sturdy seams, and are generally more comfortable. They don't work for all women though, that's for sure.
From my personal point of view, I don't care if someone is "conventionally gorgeous" or "conventionally plain" and regardless of size, I do find clothing that I consider to be too revealing a reflection on the person's level of professionalism. (I am speaking solely about clothing in the workplace now). I do keep my opinions to myself, but to say that the appearance of a person does not affect another person's initial concept of them is a little naive, eh?
But then, I do not dress to attract or enhance. I dress to be clothed, and as simple in my clothing as I can. I simply do not like much of what is out there, and when I do find something I like (for instance, Land's End dress shirt for women) I will buy it in every color I like. Same for trousers! Boring! That's me! LOL!
I also travel quite a bit for work and it's much simpler to have pieces that mix and match without much thought.
I have worn plus sizes in my life, and wasn't ever really happy with the choices there either. I too was not overly endowed
even at a much larger size, so tops were a particular challenge.
Whew! All this to simply show support for the OP!

? You also might want to check out Chico's. I know their clothing styles aren't for everybody, but they do have longer skirts that mix&match really well with separates, plus they are always running some kind of special if you get on their e-mail list.
But it is HOT here and you're only young once.
