Shops I'm looking in- White Stuff and Sea Salt- great for softer colours, Cos (good priced basics), Gap (great for trousers) Boden plain dresses and raglans and some trousers possibly a skirt but it'd have to be multifunctional for work and home, FC, Whistles, Jigsaw.
Would spend more on a blazer that I can dress up or down, maybe a trouser suit then I have that option, also wider leg trousers for work.
The main looks I've got going on are summer its all about crops, I will still wear a skinny but a slimmer of leg, low cut flats, and in addition I'd wear high waist wide leg crops casually, low cut trainers. Skirts are tricky as I am short of leg but sheer panels and slightly asymetric hems work, and A line maxi for at home (Hush, some second hand Ted Baker, Boden, Monsoon).
For work in winter, plain semi structured dresses with a slight waist (Boden are good) and low cut heeled ankle boots (will see how heels go...otherwise a flat leather shoe will be appearing, thankfully some nicer designs are emerging e.g Office), wider leg trousers (illusion of long legs!) with afore mentioned heeled ankle boots or a pointed flat (tricky length wise, may get 2 pairs).
I know they aren't very trendy but I do like a flat knee boot over leggings like cord velvet ones, it looks smart on me and opens up more outfit options. I have a pair I was going to donate but now dyeing them dark brown.
I also tried on everything in my wardrobe and worked out I can style a few things differently e.g. a long turned up cuff on jeans is quite in atm and makes good use of a longer pair of jeans in summer. Also a few things are being dyed black (careful with this as its not reversible!).
