Help me buy some new clothes

Hello all,
So I have recently lost 3 stone and am now a size 12. I'm nice and toned and for the first time in a long while clothes actually look ok on me.
My problem is I have 3 young children and no real time to actually go into a shop, and when I do get half an hour I find the whole thing so daunting I don't know where to start.
I like quite clean cut looks. I currently wear a lot of gap - mainly because that's the easiest shop for me to get to. I live in jeans (swopping between skinny and boot cut) and t-shirts.
I've got a couple of hundred quid to spend and would like to get some clothes that will work for me and make me look a bit more stylish, but also allow me do lots of walking while pushing a big buggy, spend lots of time in play parks and that won't show when I get snot rubbed on me! Oh - and no ironing!
Any help would be really appreciated. I really need a capsule wardrobe but don't know what to put in it.
So size 12, paleish skin, brunette, green eyes.
Anyone?
Thank you so much

oh well done you! I have no suggestions as am a bit squiffy and would probably recommend something wildly inappropriate ... size 12? toned? pale skin, dark hair and green eyes? darling you could wear a bin bag and look gorgeous (though not advisable in this weather)

well done again!

Thank you Calamity! When I say toned the stomach area could do with some serious work but the rest is ok!
Love the bird t-shirt. Weirdly ust before I wrote the post I had been looking at the blouse, and I think I will go for that. Will look more at the other suggestions. Thank you!
