Fashion Dilemma Question:
I’m 35, a typical pear shape and this means I have a very small bust 30A to be exact and far smaller than most of my friends anyway. I find it hard to find grown-up and sophisticated lingerie that fits me. I tend to look on the high street but most of the time I have to resort to wearing teen bras that make me feel young but not in the right way. I am open to shopping online if this means I can find what I am looking for. Can you help me?

Please give me advice on a business trip capsule wardrobe as I am going to Las Vegas in February for 5 days. I need a combination of outfits for business casual meetings and evening events. I work for a pharmaceutical company. For your information, I am an inverted triangle body shape and I have big boobs. I’m 5ft 4, a size 12 on top and a size 10 on bottom. I would also say I am short in the body and have long legs.
