After 15 months of WFH very comfortably in shorts, hoodies and flip flops with no make up I've just heard that I need to go and visit a number of our office locations to present some awards.
And there will be photos. And I desperately need to find something to wear that doesn't make me look like a bag of washing.
Ideally I want a dress that I can wear with heeled sandals. I look awful in jackets/suits and I hate having my photo taken at the best of times as I feel I look fat and slightly terrifying. I'd be less bothered if it wasn't being captured for social media and internal comms.
Company dress code is 'business casual' so my male colleagues will undoubtably be wearing navy suits, pale coloured shirts, no tie.
I'm a size 18, typical apple shape, and suit darker/deep colours - no pinks, pastels, white etc. I prefer short sleeves, v-necks, and midi-length, don't like anything tight and will be spending a lot of time in the car so preferably a fabric that won't get too creased, maybe a heavy jersey.
Has anyone seen anything that might be suitably flattering please? Budget is up to £100 for the right dress that takes several stone off and makes me look polished and professional!
