Help me to feel good about myself

As many people do, I feel like I lost myself over the last 5 years after having my DD. I've mainly been wearing hand me downs from my mother in law for 5 years 🙈🙈

So now I've lost four stone, got a new amazing job, and I want to feel pretty again.

So this is me. 40, 5 foot 3.5, office is really casual and this is what I wear most days. I also have quite a small waist. I'm fair skinned and blonde.

I fancy the idea of some work casual dresses, skirts / black tight / boots style combo but I don't know where to start. Anything baggy I tend to look like a clown in.

Any advice?

You look lovely Precisely as you are! But I want to know how you lost the four stone. And what do you weigh now?
ps I know you’re asking about work clothes ideas. I’ll let others suggest since I work from home! Ie you are wearing what I wear at home.

Ah thanks @Denizs Just eating less as boring as it sounds. And now to maintain (I've kept it off for 3 months so far so it's early days) I do three days of eating as little as I can, then 4 days of not really worrying about it. Overall I'm drinking a lot less though too.

Oh and I now weigh 66 kg so still very slightly overweight but I was obese before!
