Just that really, I'm really struggling. The other 3 seasons, I get by with black 7/8th trousers, heels or loafers and a loose-ish top/ blouse. But all my stuff is not suitable for summer and i haven't found anything online I like.
So I'd love to know what you wear!
I have a massive bum though so wrap dresses, although a nice idea, look ridiculous on me unfortunately...

ASOS Curve and Monsoon is where most of my work stuff comes from - dresses especially.

I also get the odd top to wear with a skirt from Debenhams or M&S.

I work in a corporate environment so have a smarter wardrobe for work than I do for home.

Thanks handbag I'll have a look. I work in a corporate environment too, suits aren't required (thank god!) but I like looking smart (ish!)

I noticed Monsoon had up to size 22s in there today, they had some lovely things, I haven't been in there for a long time. East too, they go up to a 20.

My go tos are:

www.navabi.co.uk

Scarlett & Jo

Studio 8

mainly for chiffon overlay dresses or tunic type dresses over leggings. The later might not be smart though for you....

I am not the same size but I am pear shaped so my choices might suit your shape. I bought this today for summer work, v flattering. this too.

Great Happy, I hope you get something you love from your buys.

It is so hot isn't it, hotter tomorrow here, I am already thinking about what I will wear in a beautiful Georgian office that doubles as a greenhouse.
