I have found out how to do it and it's pretty simple. Use an inline  
style=width with your image style.

style="width:300px;"

As in the example below.
  .imgLeft {
        float:left;
        padding:.5em;
        font-size:.8em;
        font-family: Arial, san-serif;
           }

<div class="imgLeft" style="width:300px;">your image</div>

Thank you so much,
