building, if nobody's in there, we have what we call an fdp, elevator. when the elevator doors open and there's somebody in there, they're all like, oh. the person in there is like, hello, thanks a lot. but we do it all the way down. there. it's the best. >> isn't that the most fun? >> it's the best. >> those types of memories. they'll have forever. >> you're right. i just want to show you, i went away with some friends and had a great time. i want to show you one picture. this does not look real. that's a sunrise. it was pink and a round ball. look how i got the bird. i seriously stopped and said, this does not look real to me. >> you are a photographer. >> it was nice. >> i was flying back on sunday and i was watching -- i was on jetblue, all the tvs were on, that's when the news broke about nancy reagan passing away at 94. for a lot of people -- for a younger generation, she's probably the first first lady

she was first lady from 1981 to 1989. every tribute you saw. on the plane, you just kept watching them go over and over and over. she was obviously influential with policy and with her husband in so many ways. but the love story between those two, i was getting teary-eyed watching it. because, like, they would write notes. they had notes that wound up in books and -- >> they're love letters. >> one of them said something like he was writing to her and he writes, when you leave the room, i miss you. and she said something -- you know how when you lose someone you care about, everyone always says the same thing, it gets easier. i was watching her. she was getting interviewed by i think larry king or somebody and she said, you know how they always say it gets easier? she said, it doesn't get easier. she said, i loved him that much. it's harder every day.

-- he was going through alzheimer's, to have him here but not with her. but anyway, they had a beautiful, beautiful love story. >> i think in so many ways people can learn from their marriage. anybody can learn from their marriage. the respect they had for each other. the respect he had for her. >> yes. >> i got to meet them a little bit when i was little. i remember -- i'll never forget it, that's a picture of us in the oval office. >> look at you two. >> and, you know, he was -- he worked so closely with my grandfather and i remember, i remember meeting her and i said -- i have a distinct memory of you meeting her at the easter egg roll when i was little and barbara and i were not that well behaved. is that a surprise? she seemed like a first lady. >> she did. >> don't you think? >> regal. >> she had an air about her that was first lady-like and in all the best ways, so i think she'll be missed. >> she will. you can just see the number of tributes and the number of people she impacted and how people have her held up as not

as, you know, a loving wife, a fashion icon. >> she did so much for the white house and restoration. she left a lasting impact but i think the legacy, like you said, that she'll leave is that -- >> the love affair. it was really -- i've never seen a couple who had been married as long as they had who looked at you hardly saw a picture of them where they weren't touching or looking at each other. no matter what, almost every single picture. >> by the way, that's something we can all work on. >> absolutely. marriage. >> absolutely. >> so, it's -- >> you're so sad. >> i'm a little bit bummed about this next story. >> yes. >> peyton manning is going to announce his retirement today we've heard from many sources. he had an 18-year career. he's a new orleans boy. >> yes, love him. >> so drew brees or peyton manning, if you had to pick? >> that is a terrible -- >> oh, on an island? >> stranded on an island. >> you know what?

don't fade away >> can't mila go to blue ivy's school? >> seriously. doesn't this make moms across the country feel inadequate or just me? because i'm right in the middle of trying to find auction items for mila's school's auction. i'm like, henry what about that diner down the street, do you think they'd do a free >> just take a "today" show mug, people like those. >> maybe they could come behind the scenes. >> yeah, do a behind the scenes. kotb. >> and you! >> you're like, and no. >> yes, indeed, i'd love to. talk about our lottery brothers. >> this is hilarious. two brothers stopped on the way home from the beach, to buy powerball tickets. they both won. >> that's the good news. >> but the bad news is one won

with three types of good bacteria. live the regular life. phillips'. it is a fun day monday. there isn't a woman out there who isn't self-conscious about some part of her body. >> whether it's your less than ample bosom -- i don't like the word bosom, or you think your booty is a little too bootylicious, we're about to show you how to turn your so-called flaws into fashion assets. >> here with the styles to help you love your body is "instyle" beauty and fashion editor and large. kalana. >> i'm good, how are you guys? >> this is going to be one of our most helpful fashion segments, because we're not quite sure to to dress our bodies. and if we start off with someone who let's say has ample buz omz. >> sometimes it's hard.

i find it to be super challenging because i actually suffer from this. but it's not really a suffer because i'm embracing my assets. it's all about, you know, finding the right cuts and think when you have a bigger bust, what's complicated is finding the right tops that don't make you look top heavy. >> what are the rules? >> i think you need to expose some skin. when you go for a higher neckline it kind of cuts you off and makes you look more top heavy so go with a bow neck, a scoop neck, a v-neck. >> erica, come out, she's our first model. >> you're talking about girls with what size cups? >> d cup. even c cup. >> c, d, e, f, g. >> h, i, j. >> all the way. >> she has a scoop neck top and that really shows off her skin but it's not too low cut where she's revealing too much. and then emphasize your waist. a pair of shorts are cinched and it brings her in and gives her that hour glass shape. another key is to do a blazer. i do this often. it's a great way to just polish off the look and it kind of camouflages things. >> thanks, erica. how about the opposite if you're

bosom. let's bring out anna. >> the word bosom by the way. >> bosom is from the 1960s. >> that's a cute top. >> i think a halter top is really the way. it's really flattering because it shows a sexy amount of skin without requiring a lot of cleavage. but i do think when your boobs are tiny you can get away with a lot more. you can get away with a lot more. you can go with deep v-cuts. you can really do anything. >> you don't necessarily have to wear a bra, right? >> when you do a bra, don't try to go for one that's padded, go for one that has more shape. that's the key. >> what's great is she can have a backless dress. no bra. you don't need it. >> all right. thanks, so much. so now we got the booty. >> the big booty. >> which is -- by the way, a big booty is a great asset. >> it's a great asset, katie. >> some people try to camouflage this but there are women out there trying to enhance so you have to show it off.

that. >> let's see the natural. >> so she's wearing a pair of skinny jeans. a lot of women are intimidated by jeans because they gap in the back when you have a bigger booty. do a pair of skinny jeans that elongate your legs but also have stretch. if you have that gap, make sure you're belting jean so you bring it in. she has a top that's a little bit more fabric so you want to tuck it in and show that waist. >> she has a tiny waist. >> so it's super flattering. >> curvy. we have christina. she's working it. i want to be able to walk like that. >> christina, you look good. tell us what you've done there. >> i think for a woman who has a curvy shape, you want to have adjustability. you want to have a dress that is either a wrap dress that you can cinch at the waist or do a trench coat on top that has a belt. cinch it at the waist. you don't want anything to be too, too tight. again, you want to use the trench coat in the same way you

look and bring everything together. what i love about this dress, it's bright, she has confidence, but it's not too tight and it's not too loose. >> she looks so good. >> we talk about cankles, what should we do with those? >> i don't like the word cankle. >> you just want to avoid the thick strap. if you have a thick strap on your shoe, it's going to draw attention to the kankel. >> she does not have a cankle. >> no. no, we're looking up there. >> all right, i got it. >> you don't want to draw attention to it and wear a heel with a thick strap. you want to do something monochromatic so do a nude shoe. >> thank you so, so much. we really appreciate it. >> you look fab. >> did you take a break from your career maybe to raise some kids? suzi welch has four stleajs to help you get back into the workforce right after this. >> excellent. after this. pet moments are beautifu unless you have allergies. then your eyes may see it differently. only flonase istleajs to help you get back into the workforce right after this.

>> the decision to step away from the career to raise kids but it's even challenging sometimes. >> she's here to share their stories and offer advise for all of us. >> that's right. you're about to meet two women who left big jobs for their families, and while they don't regret the decision for a minute, both are finding that re-entering the workforce is tougher than they thought. >> i have three children and i'm a single mom. i have a son in college and two girls in high school, freshman, twins. >> meet jane. jane spent decades building a successful career for herself in the fashion world but ten years ago she and her then husband

take a break from her job to raise the kids. >> i said, i'm going to take a little bit of time off. i just want to spend some time with my kids and play around and a recruiter said to me at the time, jane, be careful, you know, you always want to keep your toes in the water. >> laura had a slightly different path. world of finance, laura found out she was pregnant with twins, an exciting surprise. and one that prompted her to stay home with the children. >> i stayed home for three years. and then i was offered a position with johnson & johnson. i was with johnson & johnson for eight years. and as my children grew, i realized, i was spending less and less time with them. i was missing out on their lives. >> now that all of their kids are independent, jane and laura are hoping to relaunch their careers. jane is working hard to establish a social media presence and create her own

>> i'm using linkedin to really connect with people that i maybe haven't talked to in a year or two years, three years, and just be able to figure out like where they are and is there a possible opportunity for me. >> while laura takes on short-term positions in the financial world to keep her skills sharp. >> i recently started taking consulting roles. i've done three different jobs over the last couple of years. >> but one question remains, would they do it all differently. >> i don't regret leaving my job. what i absolutely wish i had done was taken the advice of that recruiter, make that transition out and back in a little bit more seamless. >> things change so rapidly today that three years off may as well be 30. but in the end, it was worth it. >> i can picture so many women at home right now watching that piece, saying, me too. a lot of women do want to get back into the workforce. you're going to help us with some kind of practical steps, right. you say first up is reset your expectations. >> look, this is a little tough love.

found if you've been out of work for a year, only 9% of people get a job within the first 6 to 12 months of looking. they don't separate out men from women in that. imagine what it is for working moms. it's lower than that. so you have to understand, you are not going to re-enter at the level you exited at. you're going to have to step backwards to step forwards. this is not great news. both laura and jane are at this place. they understand. they've had the interviews. the hiring managers know the world has changed. you may have to take a few steps back. you'll accelerate once you get your foot in the door but step back. wildfire -- step back before you step forward. >> you say the second step is to fill all your deficits. what does that mean? >> you have skill and knowledge unless you're the rare person who's kept abreast of all the changes in your field. companies change. >> and fast, right? >> because of technology. so you need to fill those. i have the three cs. classes, conversations and conferences. to online classes, offline classes. learn, fill those gaps. have conversations with people

come up to speed on the trends. there are conferences. you need to bring yourself up to speed so you can go in and say i'm engaged, i know what's going on in this world. >> you can do all this stuff before you go knock on the door again. you can say, i've taken that, i >> i happen to have taken a class on this. i got certified. >> that might help you get the job, right? >> right. >> you're looking for something that shows you are not looking to come up to speed on their >> brand of you. >> the first thing an employer will do is google you. if you don't have a digital footprint that shows you're engaged, if you're not on twitter in a professional and you're not on linkedin commenting on people's articles. if you have skills like jane and laura, they had skills where they started consulting firms. really they became the ceo of their own firm. they got some clients. they started doing work which fills that resume. you need to -- you look like

you know, from your house into the work world, that you've done some stuff, you're digitally online, you're socially networked online. >> that was something you had jane do, right? >> absolutely. everyone needs to do that. >> finally, tackle the elephant in the room. what is this elephant? >> listen, the hiring manager's looking at you and they're thinking, is she ready? does she know what she's about to get into? she's going to be juggling a very difficult transition. is she going to regret it the minute we ask her to work late or take a trip? they can't really raise that issue but you can and you can say, look, i want you to know my family has carefully considered this transition. we're ready. i'm ready. i have the mechanisms in place to make it possible. you're not going to have to pay the price for me learning how to -- >> that's smart. >> really smart. >> before it squashes you. suzy, awesome advice. the new spring products that make spring cleaning a breeze. >> we'll show you some of the best and put them to the best
