Never have a what-should-I-wear moment again thanks to fashion director Jackie Shaw 



I’m returning to work after six years of being at home with my twins. Can you suggest how I should go about building up a work wardrobe – perhaps some basic pieces to mix and match? 
 

 

Hi,
The best way to start building your wardrobe again is to invest in solid basics.
Consider all work classics – a crisp white shirt, a pencil skirt, a blazer and straight-leg trousers. Then consider adding some more directional pieces including a striped long sleeve top for a more casual approach, a trench coat in a muted tone to wear in the trans-seasonal months, a pair of black opaque stockings for winter and, if you’re game (and your employer will let you), try a smart pair of knee-length shorts. Add interest with printed sheath dresses and tunic tops.

Feathers Spearmint 109.95 Feathers Spearmint
This bikini has feathers all over it and comes in two different colours, coral and spearmint. This bikini from the Flamingo Sands range in store has the most amount of material in the bottoms.
 
Splatter Ruffle Bikini 129.99 Splatter Ruffle Bikni
This bikini is gorgeous! The ruffle bottoms are hot and the cut of compliments this additional feature. The print is like a splatter of paint. The top is just a normal triangle.
