I've been working at home for almost 4 years, and in about a month I'm going back to a full time office-based job. I want to put together a kind of capsule wardrobe, that would give me about 10 outfits.
Currently I've only got a few things that I can wear. (2 x pencil skirts, 2 x tops, 1 sheath dress, 1 fit & flare dress that I wear with a belt). I don't love the tops, but can put up with them. I have 2 pairs of trousers, but the cut seems quite dated as they're slightly wide leg. I could potentially have them altered to a more up-to-date leg shape.
I also need at least 2 pairs of shoes. I can't handle stilettos, they need to be comfortable.
Things that I need to work with:
- early 40s
- hourglass figure (massive boobs), size 14
- 5'3"
- living in South-East Asia, so it's hot and humid all the time
With the above in mind, I need structured/tailored pieces, no high necks and no thick fabrics. But I've got no idea what's current in the world of workwear. And the shops I've been to all have high-necked, loose waisted pieces that would make me look like a sack of fat.
Please help!
