I'm desperately in need of some new clothes

I work with young children but still want to look nice. I don't want to have to wear unflattering baggy clothes which are 'for comfort'. I still want to feel well presented, smart n happy with my look.

I'm 5ft 8 and a size 8-10

Any suggestion of outfits would be greatly received. I honestly don't know where to begin and it's getting me down
Sad

Also, how about slim leg trousers I like the black and the burgundy, they would both go with grey ankle boots and a long sleeved fitted t shirt like here or here for autumn with a slouchy or boyfrind cardigan over the top when it gets colder?

H&M also has loads of similar basic dresses that would go with thick tights and boots one, two, three, four and five

Tea dresses or skater dresses are also quite versatile because you can wear them with sandals in the summer and tights and boots in the autumn/winter I quite like this one and this one but I know that style, particularly the first one, suits my figure so I make a bee line for things that kind of shape in shops.

From the reviews go with an 8- it's a midi but a goodie! this will look great with flats or long boots. Add scarf or necklace.

Smart vest tops=woolovers here

Go for Chelsea boots instead of brogues. wine

over size v-neck to wear with cigarette pants here Navy is very much an easy one to match up.

sorry this one.

ballerinas I have these and they are comfortable but flattering on the foot.

This dress is really good. It does come up big though. here size 6 would be the best bet.
