Aibu to ask where you buy stuff that makes you look like a shit hot professional even though your carrying baby weight 5 years post pregananct Blush
I’ve got a job after being a stay at home parent, a good job, a really good job, and I need to look the part but don’t know where to bloody start? I need tops/ trousers/ skirts? Dresses? Can I wear a skirt with tree stump legs? God I’m petrified of looking like a fat lump.
I need shoes/ accessories too?

My boyfriend bought me the boots and he gained a lot of brownie points for it. They're the only pair of boots where I haven't needed insoles, they're just so comfy. And not that this particularly helps your clothing situation but they come in the most beautiful shoe box ever, lol.

I recently properly measured myself for bras and discovered in losing weight I've gone down a lot of back sizes but up cup sizes. Bras are another thing that's important for looking smart and being comfy, measure up (shop fitters are notoriously bad)! And most importantly enjoy your new job and your lovely new clothes!

Next have some nice plus size stuff... I didn't realise until very recently.
As for shoes, have a look at Hotter. They're expensive but soooooo worth it, the do some styles upto EEE fit & the soles are solid. (had issues with hollow soles in the past)
Snag Tights are the best tights I've ever had (if you're after some).
