If you work in an office like I do - and have been overweight and even obese, such as I have been - then you know - you know very well that finding something dressy to wear to work is a challenge.
For me - my arch nemesis has always been - The Blazer.
They look so good on other authoritative-type people (something about them just commands respect), and when I was heavier, I could never, ever find one that fit me - sure some would fit around my super-sized torso, but then the arms would be super long and I would just look silly.
Being too lazy to go to a tailor and get things fitted to my obese body (or maybe just too full of shame) I decided to just find a few pieces of dressy clothes I could rotate with (and get away with).
Well - those days are gone! I bought a size 12 blazer from Rickis that actually fits me (no tailoring required) and it looks great on me.
Not only that - but I actually feel like I am a professional now - I deserve to carry with me the title of "Manager".
It's amazing how your physical appearence can really alter how you feel on the inside.
Today I have been walking around the office - beaming with confidence and pride and feeling like a real manager.
See what I mean:

Check out those size-12 pants on me too - guess it's time I get shopping for some sized 10 pants for work... Yippie!
