Anyone want to help me shop???

I have a ton of clothes for work, but am a SAHM at the moment. I have no decent SAHM clothes.

I feel like a huge frump. Instead of putting on nice jeans, cute sweater... I find myself putting on yoga pants and Uggs every day.

DD is 6 and in 1st grade. I have started voluntering to do various things at her school, and all of the other Moms look put together but me. I want to step it up, but I am also home with a wild, messy 2 year old all day, so comfort is key.

I like ATL and BR. I like classic but modern.

I am also having a hard time dressing my body type. I had a breast reducton 1 1/2 years ago, and couldn't wear certain styles before. Now that I can properly fit in more styles, I'm not sure what to buy. I also have a very hard time with jeans. I think that I am short waisted- meaning the opposite of camel toe.. the crouch of most pants sags. I have tried petite, but the the pants are too short.

So basically, can you suggest:
cute, comfortable boots/shoes
trendy shirts
jeans that stay up- not too stretchy
accessories

Thanks

Loft has really cute things, casual and dressy. Also, I find that Gap jeans fit me and flatter me well. I know everyone has a different body shape. Also Express has some nice basics as well. I am always a fan of Ugg's you can make them look cute and not sloppy. You can wear them with straight or skinny jeans and even leggings with a long sweater or tunic.

I wear a lot of Gap. I also started fitting back into my Seven for All Mankind and True Religion so usually I will wear either skinny jeans tucked into my uggs, a cute cardigan over a long tank and a cute long necklace or a tunic top over my flared jeans. Or my juicy velour sweats.

I recommend trying leggings with high boots and cute sweater dresses/long shirts.

Most people can pull this look off I think.
