Older lady struggling to be smart but comfortable at work

[blueskypink]

Looking for suggestions! In my head I'm still tall, slim and elegant, but sadly only the first of those is true. I've lost my waist, I swear my boobs are growing - and starting to sag and I feel very frumpy. I need to look smart at work but hate wearing jackets. They never fit properly and I always feel constrained by them.

Over the winter I've been wearing smart skirts, with plain jumpers over the top (covering my waist) and smartened up with some nice jewellery. Nice ankle boots to finish off the look.

But what to wear when the weather gets too warm for jumpers? Too self conscious to tuck a blouse into a skirt or trousers and a blouse/thin top worn over the top of a waistband looks to me a bit unfinished and in need of a jacket.

Any suggestions for a largish lady in her late 50s who wants to be comfortable but smart at work?

Maybe take a look at the online Jaeger Outlet too. It's always been quite good for finding the odd stand out piece, and being good fabrics they last for ages.

2 suggestions from me.

Sainsburies is fab. Go to one of the big stores with a dedicated clothing area.

Pussy bow blouses work for all sizes. This one just so happens to be from Tu tuclothing.sainsburys.co.uk/p/Pussybow-Blouse/133048526-Green

If you like Seasalt then Mistral might suit you op?
How about a jacket/cardigan - I have an old M&S Chanel lookalike that's faithfully served me for years, Next, Sainsburys Tu and I'm sure others might have similar?

A second here for Jaeger outlet & Mistral have some nice bits for work..here
