Will you help me with a work wardrobe please?

[snowmummy]

I'm going back to work after a long break. I have no work stuff from before kids so I'm starting from scratch. Size 10/12 with a bit of a wobbly tummy.

Any suggestions? I'd like some trousers, tops, dresses, shoes, accessories ...

Zara good for on trend tailored pieces (but they do tend to be black. And the sizing can be v weird). Phase Eight also really good, I like their dresses for work. Banana Republic again fantastic for tailoring that's good quality and will last, I tend to ear their trousers. Bought a cardie from Benneton a few months ago which is excellent quality. He website makes my eyes bleed (I was at Oxford Circus), but it was a really good purchase.

Thanks Carrie, I'll have a look now.

M&S Insolia shoes are great for working women. Their work dresses can be good too if you choose carefully.

It's worth a peek on the Hobbs outlet site.
