I need an overhaul, please help me!

I am in dreadful need of new clothes. I look online and go round the shops but I see nothing. I am getting quite low about it so I am throwing myself open to suggestion.

I have a toddler and a baby who is still breast feeding. I spend most of my time pushing a double buggy or scrabbling about on the floor playing.

I am fed up of dark clothes, I need practical clothes that wash easily and look nice. I am living in two pairs of jeans at the moment, some linen trousers that are far too big and some bobbly breast feeding tops. I have tried the double layer vest thing but can't get the hang of it.

Please please help me! I'm tall, fairly slim (size 10/12) and have dark hair.

I also need my hair and make up sorted.....but that's a whole other thread.

I don't want to spend a lot on individual items as I am tough on my clothes due to my current lifestyle. But happy to spend around £200 on the lot, maybe including some summer shoes?

Very very grateful for any help.

How about lightweight summer jeans: www.next.co.uk/g383016s4

Teamed with a floaty top which has concealed buttons (easy access for bfing): m.hm.com/gb/product/14775?article=14775-A#mediaType=STILL_LIFE_FRONT

Or: m.hm.com/gb/product/13185?article=13185-F#mediaType=FASHION_FRONT

And pretty shoes which won't fall off when running after small children: www.zara.com/uk/en/woman/shoes/flat-sandals/jewel-embellished-leather-sandal-c434553p1282512.html

Accessorise with some shades: m.hm.com/gb/product/06156?article=06156-B#mediaType=STILL_LIFE_FRONT

And a bag: shop.mango.com/GB/p0/mango/bags/all/flap-messenger-bag/?id=83901486_RP

Then you are good to go! Just decide on a couple of colours and buy items which mix and match, then you can get away with a couple pairs of jeans and several tops which all look great together.

Thank you so much, I love the second top in particular!

Some great ideas there. Thanks for the help!
