I like your style! The boring version of it you'll find at Everlane (I get a ton of Everlane). Cos is a good suggestion, too.
Thanks all! I looked through the recs and COS fits the bill. I bought a few pieces a few years ago and I think I can fit into their size 14. I just ordered a black fluid wrap-front trousers, a navy double-faced wool top, and a blue double-breasted shirt. These will hold me over for a few more months, to mix and match with what I already have. Thanks all!
I don't use Instagram and don't want to spend much time on my phone so I appreciate you all doing the legwork for me
Enjoy! You might also like Universal Standard - I think it's the vibe you like and it has a HUGE range of sizes (and many of the models are on the larger end, and will be bigger than you - that can make it hard to gauge how any given piece will look on you but might be worth a try).

I like Evereve for casual stuff mixed with some work things. they have a good selection of blouses.
The air essentials dresses from Spanx are very flattering.

It’s too casual for work, but with your high I would wear dresses from Mirth. They’re cut generously- I’m a busy 34DDD and could get away with a medium.

Oh and my size, which is not quite into plus size territory and yet sometimes I can't fit in the highest size available in pants at a brand like Uniqlo (their CL seems to be like a size 14 in pants and I'd need 16).

The way I discovered new brands is by spending time scrolling through Poshmark. You can select for "blazers", with your size, desired color, etc, and then see what pops up.

Any suggestions? I feel like my favorites are all so varied. I need more professional clothes. Here's a bit about me, what I've found I like and what I look good in:
- I'm tallish, almost 5'9", overweight, carrying more in my midsection after having 3 kids. Light-olive/tan skin and green/brown eyes, mid-brown hair in a short wavy bob. I'm active - often walking the kids to school and then hopping on a Cap bike to commute downtown.
- I am artistic, and always like to feel a bit unique/put together and alive to brighten me through life as a federal bureaucrat these days.
- Brands I like lately: Spanx, for comfort and I've found their pants and skirts to be very flattering on me. The shirts and blazers not so much.
- Some staples from Uniqlo work well for me, like a long blue cotton skirt, it's almost an extended pencil skirt and so flattering on me. That in navy, and a navy cashmere sweater with low heels, my bob pinned back.. probably one of my favorite looks. A little retro.
- A double breasted blazer from Uniqlo looks good, as does a blazer from Wildfang. Otherwise, blazers don't seem to look great on me, and until I found these good ones, I kind of ruled them out for a while...like maybe I'm just not the right proportions for blazers. But these two look great. My issue is I can't seem to find others that work.
- I like the brand Wolfgang and my favorite black blazer is from them, but I can't do too much of the androgynous look and need something more feminine. Any brands that have some unique styling like Wildfang but more feminity?
Any suggestions welcome! I'm willing to try some new brands now! Thank you!
