Please help me get a new wardrobe - almost finished mat leave!

Hi there,

Am 33yo mum of 2 and am about to return to work after maternity leave. I need to get some new clothes but am at a loss as what to buy.

I do not wear office clothes in my job - can wear what we like, so usually jeans and a top (no skirts as in and out of overalls all day). I would like to get some nice girly tops to wear with skinnies and some nice shoes, possibly ballet style (flat, as on my feet all day!).

Please can you help me? Not rich, so can't spend a fortune - but I would normally shop in high street stores.

I am 5'8'' and 10.5 stone - slight tummy still, so prefer longer tops, rather than ones that finish on the waist.

Would be most grateful for your help - I really should not be allowed to go out shopping on my own! TIA Smile

Thank you Jewel!!

Fab link - I especially like the china blue wrap, the dressy, second one and the red topshop one! Not sure about the nude blouse one, although I've been told mushroom/nude colours suit me.

Will get myself down to the shops and try them on! If anyone else has any other suggestions, please keep them coming!

Thanks
