In person interview outfit in July

Hey all! I have just found out I have an interview for a promotion in work (civil service) that I really want. The job can be worked from where I live/ local office but the in-person interview is in London.

I've also been working to lose weight and have lost 24 kilos (finally all the baby/ toddler chairs weight) in the last 18 months. I've gone from a 16 to a small 12/ sometimes 10. I am short (5'2) with a bigger bust and short torso.

I need an outfit that is interview appropriate, but can stand a 2 hour train journey and 20 minutes tube and having to give a presentation and in-person interview.

I have loads of cute heels. But they're not crossing central London-friendly. I usually where trainers or sandals this time of year. And am out of heel practice! I'm a size 3.5.

Please help!

Oh yeah - in my early 40s. If that helps!
