Half a tonne of questions before anyone can help much, I'm afraid. So, what's your colouring? What colours do you like to wear ? not wear? what sort of shape are you? Budget?

If it is a pale-ish suit you fancy this and this might appeal. Maybe.

Thanks mrs L

Actually I love the simplicity of that shift dress

I'm dark haired....quite curvy ....not extremely daring....

Not a great arm barer but getting better. Not the greatest legs but am trying to embrace and continue Confused

Blimey I sound a delight to behold....not!!

Little.... thank you what a great blog

Love the 'jewel' and would like a summer twist on the monochrome look....like the shape of the navy dress also....

I'm quite a conscious cover upperer so would like a jacket or wrap maybe....

Sorry sounds like a sandwich....Grin

It's good that you have a clearer idea of what you do and don't like now and yes brilliant time to shop sales galore! And i'd rather spend my money on shoes than a dress that i'll probably only wear a handful of times if that.
