Help me with my working wardrobe, pretty please?

[llareggub]

I am in desperate need of some new work clothes but am lacking in time and am clueless about where to go.

I used to buy suits etc from M and S but I haven't seen anything there lately that I like. I am big on top (size 20, still breastfeeding) and size 18 (sometimes 16 in generous shops.)

I mostly wear suits but can get away with smart separates too.

Can anyone help? I guess my budget is around £150-£200 for a suit but really could do with building up a small capsule type wardrobe. I don't wear shirts (norks too big,feel mumsy) and tops need to be modest as scoops can be too low cut for me.

Please, please help. Am blondish, and 32.

Have you tried limited collection or autograph at M&S - I find they are a bit more trendy. How about a nice skirt and a nice pair of trousers, a wrap dress? have you tried next, wallis, principles?

Hmmm, Principles, good point. Will have a look there.

Next are on my list of forbidden stores after an unsatisfactory customer service experience.

Any other suggestions?

Bravissimo? Good for jersey wrap dresses, simple tops - obv for big boobs.

Principles not so good for work wear at the moment. Am due to choose my work wear for the place this week and we are all struggling in store.

I popped into the Bravissimo store yesterday and didn't see anything I liked. The stores are full of sales so I can't see past the bargains for workwear.

Nice jacket in Principles but not in my size.

Pah.
