'My Body, My Style' Video: What Should a New Mom Wear to Work?

Getting dressed is never as easy as it should be. Putting together the pitch perfect outfit can often seem like a complex geometric equation. What top to go with those flared trousers? Are these accessories weighing me down or do I need more? Which black shoe goes best?

Throw in the fact that all women are proportioned differently and one ensemble manifests into an infinite number of possibilities.

To help simplify the art of dressing, we've enlisted uber-stylist, author, and TV personality Sam Saboura to host the StyleList's newest video series, "My Body, My Style." In each episode he will offer insight into how real women of varying sizes should dress for their shape. We'll build three outfits for each body type: an office look, a weekend ensemble; and an out-on-the-town blockbuster.

For those ladies that are feeling wardrobe-challenged (and who doesn't?), it's definitely worth a peek. For example, do bustier women realize that not wearing a statement necklace can help to elongate your upper half?

Whether you're pear shaped, have a long torso, or are full-figured, you won't want to miss the rest of our tips for finding the best clothes for your shape, in the "My Body, My Style" series.

Hel-lo-o - yes, she's fat, like most of us watching this - that's the whole point - how to choose clothes that will flatter our larger bodies, you knucklehead! What does ugly have to do with it? Are you beautiful? I'm guessing not...

My only issue with the clothes is that the neckline is still too low for most office situations - once you lean over just a tad, everything underneath and in your bra is out there for everyone to see. I have to be particularly careful because I work in a school and am bending over all the time, picking things up, tying little kids' shoes, etc.

I also think the top is a little too low cut for the workplace, but she could solve this by wearing a cami underneath that would show an inch or two at the lowpoint of the neckline. Standing or sitting straight is no problem, but bending over...eek! Even less endowed ladies have problems with this. Also, she needs to be sure to pin wrap blouses shut at the lowpoint as they have a tendency to loosen.
