HELP! Can you solve a fashion crisis for a not so new mum

Hello MN SaB board!

I'm hoping you can all help me find some fresh pieces for my wardrobe. I've been lurking and searching through the SaB threads, as I'm trying to crack the code of what will look nice on me post baby as my shape and size have changed.

Currently a size 12-14, probs closer to 14 most days. Hourglass at the moment due to breastfeeding but usually a small breasted hourglass. I've a big (and quite nice I may add) bum. Hoping to get back to a small 12 eventually as well but that'a future planning.

Anyway, looking for outfit ideas as to what I can wear for a.) daily casual (such as pram walks etc as I'm sick of leggings and sports gear) and b.) nicer weekend looks. Needs to not be restricted on the chest due to aforementioned breastfeeding.

Style wise I'd love to look polished but a bit quirky. Would like to hide a rounded tummy ideally too! I've gotten myself excited at the prospect of jumpsuits but not sure they will suit as I've got chunky thighs.

I already own some nicely fitted mom style jeans that are flattering on the bum and legs.

Oh and to throw into the mix (if you've not lost hope already) I don't like my back and arms!
Please help.

Hey, giving you a bump. I am breast feeding but a size 6-8 pear so different body shape. But I wear jeans with wrap tops, or button tops. I prefer to button down than do one up one down (my jeans do up but still have a bit of overhang) so I hate getting my belly out. I have some stretchy comfy straight leg trousers from primark which I wear with shirts.
Also dresses I find dresses much more flattering and also easier to feed in.

Thank you @Chillychili

Wrap tops sound like a good idea! Going to look for some now!
