So finding pants that aren't up to my knees and still fit my waist is proving difficult when I look at the measuring charts. I am also looking for a new helmet too. However, every helmet that i tried on fits differently. I tried on the same brand as the one I currently have and I take a size smaller. However it fit the same way my current helmet did when i tried it on again.......
Gear is all about fit. You really have to try it on, or hope you get lucky.

Pants depend on how "casual" your work is. If you have to wear suit pants/skirt you can get overpants or change at work. I don't have any experience there. If you can wear jeans, I can vouch for Cortech's Mod Denim. They're great! Bug guts aren't really a problem as most sportbikes have enough fairing to deflect a large amount of air away from your legs.
