I'm starting a new job this September as an office manager. I need to be smart, and after two years as a stay at home mum this may be a tall order....! I'm not terribly fashionable, don't worry too much about hair/nails/make up but need a bit of an overhaul, so I need advice on the following:
Putting together a capsule wardrobe, on the cheap since I've not much to spend. Any ideas on where I could get some decent suit items and a selection of tops? I'm titchy - just under five foot and a size 12/14, hopefully slightly slimmer by Sept 
so I need somewhere that does a decent petite range.
Nails - my news are pretty good naturally, strong and grow fast but I have a bad habit of biting the skin around them. Any ideas for treatments I could do at home to make them look better?
Good places to go and see what colours of make up suit me best? I wear pretty minimal make up anyway, but it would be nice to have a fresh start.
Hair - my hair is OK ish. I don't own any styling stuff, or even a hairdryer but I find my hair looks nice if I use a decent shampoo/conditioner. It needs some nourishment at the moment I think. Suggestions please for brands that work well on thick wavy hair that tends towards greasiness? And a good brush since I broke mine and have been borrowing four year old DD's.
Sorry for all the questions but it's all part of preparing for a return to work and thought some of you ladies (and gents) masy enjoy a project...
TIA
