For those looking to purchase, I typically wear a size 8-10 or a Medium/Large and I am 5’7″. I tend to be curvier in the midsection and thighs – smaller up top (heyyy to my apple bottom friends ;)!)

I’ve been asked a handful of times to share more on work or professional clothing for women. I too was a work out of the home momma for a little over a year after having Rowan. I still “work” but I find time to fit it in during nap time, at night, or when I get a random afternoon to myself (which doesn’t usually happen)… I remember that full-time office schedule and the thought of trying to find something cute and motivating to wear 5 days per week always felt difficult and uninspiring. Especially postpartum. I had a hard time finding a whole lot of anything that fit my expanded and changed body. It meant a lot of flowy and forgiving tops…stretchy pants…and grace for myself. I really loved trying on the handful of items below from H&M. I haven’t been in that store for at least 3 years, but every time I walk into one I think, “dang their clothes are cute and affordable!” Their business attire is always on point, a lot of great mix and match pieces. I wish I had had more time to try on more items, but they were closing in 20 minutes when I stopped in. I hope this blog post brings you a little bit of women’s workwear inspiration. I went with items that could easily be interchanged and I felt were complimentary of many different body types. Enjoy!
Wide Sleeved Blouse
This blouse was sooo cute on. I loved the flouncy wide sleeves and that it had a little v-neck. The material was fantastic and it wasn’t see through at all. I highly recommend it! It comes in white, dark blue, and a beautiful red. I am wearing a size 8 in this photo but felt I could have even sized down to a 6 and still have been satisfied with the fit.
Green Slacks
These pants were super comfy! I was skeptical, because of the side zipper…but they ended up being really great. I liked them paired with the white wide sleeved blouse above. The material of the pant is very thick and durable…and I didn’t feel like they were showing every little lump and dimple in my thighs/buns (hah – just being honest)! I would have sized up one. I am wearing a 10 in this photo and I would have gone up one size to get a little more room out of them. They were tighter in the waist and not super stretchy. Aside from my preference for a little more wiggle room – they fit true to size!
Wide Sleeved Blouse (Red)
Again, LOVE this top. Love this red color. I didn’t buy it…but I want to go back and buy it…and in white too. But I’ve got to contain myself! Someone else please buy both and let me borrow them 😉
Stove Pipe Pant
Such a cute pant! I love that it comes in SO many different color/pattern options. The ones I’m wearing are the “Grey Dogtooth” and size 10. These felt truer to size and had a little more give than the green slacks above.
Crepe Jersey Top
You’ll see in the pics above I am wearing this shirt in polka dots and in solid black. It is a super comfortable shirt and a great transitional piece for fall. I’m a sucker for longer sleeves on tops and blouses. Huge fan. I feel like you can wear it in weather that’s a tad warmer or cooler temps – also, great for layering!
Stove Pipe Pant
I got mixed reviews on the polka dots paired with the pants via an Instagram stories poll…but I’ve been seeing a lot of women doing this and I’ve liked it!
