Hello style gurus, help a pal out?

I'm emerging from 5 years of pregnancy and small children. Ready to go back to work and enter the next phase of my style, the one pre dc is now dated and unsuitable.

I've spent so many years in a wilderness of maternity dresses and smocks I'm a bit lost.

I'm a slim 5'4 autumn, and I'm after some suggestions on key pieces.

I work in a the NHS in a semi senior role, but also do the school run etc.

I can pull off shortish skirts and skinny trousers as I've decent legs, but no one would ever write home about my bust. I'm not great with busy patterns.

If you're similar to me what are your day to day clothes like, what would you recommend investing in?

Any help gratefully received Smile

I would suggest
Jumpsuit
Blazer
White silk or silk substitute fabric
Pair of flowy wide leg trousers
Plain fine knit sweater
White trainers

I shop in Hush, Boden, Oliver Bonas and Uniqlo.

Scarves to accessorise
Slub t shirts

And the white silk is meant to say shirt!
