Please dress me for Summer!

Please help! This is my first summer back in the office after two mat leaves and covid wfh.

I am lost!

Please can I have some inspiration for a summer wardrobe?

I am 5'9. Relatively skinny legs (for my size!) so 16. But with a post birth tummy (size 18).

I live in leggings as jeans are either too baggy in the leg or too tight in the waist

I like joules (sorry!) but can't find anything I like currently there. I spent last summer on mat leave in shorts and floaty tops!

My work is casual dress but no shorts so I need either some casual dresses with trainers type look OR some alternative to leggings and a tunic

I am only just 40 so don't want to age myself by covering up too much.

I would love some ideas and inspiration. I don't even know where to shop anymore!!

Help me please!

Oh and I have a reasonable chest so can look booby quite easily! So also need to be mindful of not over exposing myself!

Jumpsuits, midi dresses, slip skirts. With your height, you can wear most things, you lucky thing!!

Joules is great for weekend wear. For work stuff go to M&S, Uniqlo, Zara for some nice trousers, t shirt, jacket/ cardigan that are well fitted, build staples!! Loafers/ ballet flats or smart white trainers.

Good luck returning to work and enjoy that hot cuppa 😉
