I need a new look for a night out. My usual style is fairly casual "fun" clothes, I wear bright colours and a lot of stripes, skater dresses, denim skirt and hoodie type attire.
I want a new look. I want to be smart, sophisticated, dressy. I'm going out to a wine bar with some friends and I don't want to wear my usual polka dot dress and bow in my hair...
I was thinking... Tailored shorts? With some kind of spangly top (for some reason I am thinking gold...) and a blazer? Kimono? (Might not need either if this heat continues!) and heels?!
I am 5ft nothing and fairly overweight - size 14, I think I am apple shaped, I like my legs and I detest my huge stomach... I have really short cropped hair which changes colour weekly...
Any help really appreciated. I feel like I dress a bit like a child and much as I love my style usually for day to day, it would be nice to feel a bit sophisticated and like a grown up for a change!
I plan to go shopping... Please point me in the right direction! I have no idea of current trends or fashion. Please be gentle with me!
