Got a new job on the leadership team at a secondary school and desperately need to upgrade my wardrobe from my current look, which is on the casual side of smart-casual, to something that says ‘this woman is your boss!’ (without resorting to 80s power dressing).
I’m mid 40s, tall, 12-14, traditionally an hourglass but now with a bit of a tum.
I like dresses. Think I need a few trouser options, too, but have always struggled with putting separates together. I usually feel like a kid playing dress up in blazers. Really need something stylish but comfy on my feet.
Gah!!! Am clueless.
At interview, the head was my age and was wearing a Boden-esque colourful jersey dress and cropped cardi with heels. She looked bright, well put together and smart-casual. But this is SO NOT my style. The other woman on the leadership team is half my age and thin, and was wearing paper bag trousers, brogues and a blouse with an elaborate bow. Again, great, but NOT me.
What on Earth does one wear these days?
