spring/summer work clothes - none of my tops go with my bottoms!

Last week's warm weather made me sort through my wardrobe for spring / summer work wear. It is as if the clothes belong to two people!

Possibly after spending a lot of time WFH over the last two years I have a few smart shirts and a couple of pairs of casual outdoor trousers that worked well enough for the head-and-shoulders appearance on Teams, Zoom etc. but don't exactly go together IRL. And a handful of fitted / cross-over jersey tops that I wore with drapey / boho skirts with much the same result.

Size 8 chest and waist, size 10(ish) hips, certainly not a washboard stomach. Suits aren't a huge part of our workplace culture, but neither are maxi-skirts and sandals.

I need some inspiration - throw me some ideas, please!

I had the same revelation last week. I've bought these chinos from M&S in dusty rose, but tempted to get them in some more colours. I'll be dressing them up with smarter tops and sandals for summer.
