I went through my closet today getting ready for my new job. It's really obvious that I have lived in a warm climate/been pregnant/in school for the last several years. I have exactly three pair of pants that fit me well. (I actually have more pairs but I've gained a few pounds since I started studying for the bar in January.) I have plenty of short sleeved or light weight clothes but maybe 10 or less long sleeve, warm tops. I have plenty of sweaters, but most of them are from my pre-baby days, meaning my boobs were smaller and they are now too tight to be comfortable for me. I have tons of open toed shoes and plenty of boots, but not a single pair of heeled, dressy shoes. I have dressy pants shoes, but not a single pair I could wear with a dress in winter.
In the past, I loved to shop at the Limited. I liked their style and their pants fit me well. (I have a very hard time finding stuff long enough since I'm 5'9" and a half.) But they stopped carrying size 14 a few years ago and I'm honestly probably a size above that at the moment anyway. So, now I need to find a new source for clothes.

Don't rule out Talbot's. Especially if you have a more traditional curvy figure (i.e. hips) they can be really good for dress basics.
