Capsule wardrobe? Need help please!

[sunnysunchild]

I have no style or clue whatsoever.
Not done an 'Office job for about 12 years.
New job fairly casual/smart, I'm going to be a trainee health visitor so nothing too low cut/short etc
Normal style very casual and comfy.
I like wrap dresses and tunics, white stuff etc
I'm an apple shaped size 14/16 with boobs and mum tum, with chunky calves but a good bum!
High street budget.
Help me please!

Check out the monsoon sale

Congrats on new job! I am in a similar role. I tend to wear black trousers, smarter looking T shirts and casual shift dresses to work. Generally I stick to greys and black in work, but my outside of work wardrobe is much more colourful so always cheer it up with a bright handbag or coat. I’ll wear some
Colour in work from time to time depending on what meetings I have... it depends on your style I think, but I still swear by my black skinny trews (H&M), t-shirts from Zara and a couple of simple black jumpers / cardies. Shift dresses also great for mornings you CBA putting effort in as you just need to throw them on with pair of black tights!

This is good :) I'm not really fashion forward but don't want to look silly...
I think I'm going to have to think about shoes too. I don't really do heels as such, love boots in winter so def gonna need a new pair. :)

Sainsbury's does nice stuff?

Wallis have some really nice 'longline' jackets that are that perfect smart-casual. I have two of these - a light and a dark. Make me feel instantly professional but I also dress them down on the weekend with skinny jeans .
A good shift dress- uniqlo have really nice plain ones. Again can dress up or down.
2/3 few tunic tops / shirts - H&M
2/3Well tailored slim fitting trousers- Debenhams
Some plain cardigans and jumpers or even one of each - uniqlo

Clark's has some fab boots in the sale

White stuff smarter stuff (in the sale)? That is what my hv and doctor seem to wear!
