SAHM in a rut

I seem to be stuck wearing the same old thing, just jeans and a t shirt etc. I have 3 kids and usually about 10 mins to get ready for the school run or weekend activity. What should I be wearing to look a bit smarter but not frumpy? It’s really getting me down, all my clothes are ill fitting and mostly pre pandemic. I don’t need an office wardrobe I need a smart/casual day to day wardrobe. Things I can go to soft play in and perhaps a family meal in a nice restaurant without looking out of place, do such clothes exist? Help please!

An oversized blazer always pulls everything together.
Two piece lounge sets tracksuit style are easy.
Lace up gum sole boots or creamy white trainers.
Black pleather leggings
Slouchy jumpers
Scoop neck bodysuits
Short cross body bags.
Oversized cream or tan coat
Flared jeans with heeled pointed toe shoe boots
Short cream puffs jacket.

This is what I wear to get dressed easily but this may not be your style. Look on Pinterest for inspiration and take it from there.

Agree with @JMAngel1, a great selection, all I'd add is quilted longline gilets, which are great when you're getting in and out of the car.

I also like pleated elasticated waist midi skirts with jumpers and boots.
