Hi all. This isn't really a family or kid related question but I thought that the community might be able to help me. I currently work full-time in an office and sit in a junior management role. I have good prospects for working my way up into senior management within the next few years but my Manager has suggested that I may want to re-think some of the things I wear to work. It was a bit hard to hear but they were very nice about it (as nice as you can be saying that) and I know that it was coming from a place of wanting to help.
For context, I generally wear long black pants with a 3/4 sleeve top - sometimes it'll be shorter pants and a t-shirt but this is generally on day when I'm not meeting with any clients. I never wear anything inappropriate for the office (i.e. skirts that show my butt cheeks).
The problem is that I really struggle with finding clothes that I like, and that look good on me as I am overweight with large breasts. I'm not very comfortable in dresses but would probably wear a skirt and nice top. I try to stay away from high necklines as they generally don't look good with the big boobs!
Anyway, getting to the point, does anyone have any tips for where to buy nice office workwear for larger woman? Ideally a place where I can buy online as I don't live in a major city. Needs to cater for size 16-18.
I am also looking for some tips on the best make-up that gives good coverage for blemishes and lasts all day.
Thanks all.

They are on the expensive side but usually have regular sales. Free postage and super easy to return. I have found some nice and flattering things here.
Thank you!
As a fellow BBL with some extra kgs I feel you! I struggle with how to find stuff that looks my age but is appropriate for work. I'm following for tips.
Hope you get some tips as well!
I like country road. I think they have spend and save atm. I am usually a 14 but fit in a 12 at country road. You can also buy online.
Thank you!
I've bought a few pairs of pants and skirts from Target recently. Well fitting "Treggings" I think they are called (a cross between pants and leggings which are super comfy and look good. Have also bought tops and cardigans. Good quality and relatively inexpensive. I'm a 16/18 and have been super happy. In fact I'm wearing their pants, tops and cardi right now and have had 2 people comment already on the top I'm wearing.
Best of luck!!
Thank you!
