Please help me find some work clothes

[mummysmellsofsick]

Please help s&b gurus, I'm going back to work a size bigger than before my pregnancy, so I need some new school teachery clothes. Budget is a bit flexible... School is fairly conservative but no dress code. I'm bad friends with trousers as I am pear shaped and now that bootlegs are out of fashion I don't know what shape would suit. Straight legs & skinnies aren't good for me. Skirts & dresses must be below the knee and not pencil shaped or straight. Size 12 and will be wearing heels. Any ideas?? Thanks!

this is lovely, bargain but not sure on your size. Maybe with something like this?

Would this sort of blouse be OK, or is arm coverage needed.

I'm not in the UK so not quite sure what teachers wear at home any more. Was all very formal in my day.

Is this along the right lines?

Comfy and stylish everyday dress which covers up (so OK for school) and swishes round the pear end of the pear.

mrslettutce I'm afraid that skirt length doesn't suit me at all and on my phone the other link doesn't work, will try on laptop in the morning.

lairy I love the asos dress although I never wear high neck lines. Maybe I could give it a whirl...

Yes maybe a couple of asos dresses this is nice although not sure about robins, and a little short... Any more ideas? Where else is good for tops, dresses & skirts? I used to wear white stuff type patterned skirts with smart jackets, sounds a bit mismatched but I always thought it worked...

Do you like Boden?

Check out this dress
or this one?
also this print dress

Perhaps pair with a velvet blazer like this?

Oh thanks lairy Boden it is. I like all of those. My bank balance will have to brace itself for a bit of damage
