what would it consist of?

I'm headed back to the office full-time post maternity leave in a couple of weeks. I pulled out my non-maternity clothes, and it is embarrassing. They are all super old and looking worn, and I have to do something about it. The thought of spending too much time shopping though is a bit overwhelming.

For maternity, I had a few Isabella Oliver/Seraphine knit dresses, a pair of black pants, and a couple of knit shirts, and I really loved it. I would love to reproduce something like that in a non-maternity wardrobe, and am willing to invest in decent pieces as I want to look polished and want them to last for awhile.

I also realized that my work shoes got stretched out while I was pregnant and now slide off, so I'm in the market for that as well. I would love not to wear heels, but I always find it hard to look polished without them...
