The Leggings
Racing after two children hasn't helped event planner Krista Njapa, 31, lose the 25 pounds she gained following back-to-back pregnancies. Because she doesn't have time to shop, she tends to "squeeze into my too-small clothes or wade around in too-big clothes. I don't look as put-together as I should." Leggings with a wrap blouse and
belt, are great for work.
"Leggings aren't just for weekends, and they always fit,"says Glassman. "Go for thicker stretch fabric with seaming so they look polished, not like pajamas."
The A-line shirt is all about flexibility—worn loose, it's modern and angular; cinched, it shows off Njapa's figure.
