I've been wearing jeans and t-shirts to work for 18 years. 😜 Yeah, I had been working from home for over a year and since I interviewed last years ago I went up in size and no longer feel comfortable in pants or skirts (pretty much dresses without waistlines only). Not only do I have to get used to hose and heels again but I had to replace both my interview suits and my warm weather office wear and nothing fit perfect off the rack. I can only imagine how difficult it will be after 18 years. Ugh! Well, I have dressy clothes, but they wouldn't be office appropriate...or very practical, unless 4 inch heels work.

Hey, you're in luck though. Maxi dresses of all kinds are all the rage right now. I have a couple made like long t-shirt types that look good, but I'm too short for the fuller maxi dresses. But a lot of places are more corporate casual now. My mom is a VP for a bank and she never wears heels or suits, just tops and skirts with flats and a cardigan.

And it's so hot! I'd sweat buckets in a suit. Yuck! BTW, I'm an SVP at a bank and I wear Loft pants, a nice jacket or sweater, and flats to work. No one at our big bank wears suits anymore....yay!!!!
