No fashion sense and need to smarten up... I am a disaster!

[mamadivazback]

I am starting college in 2 weeks and need some help to smarten up a bit but have no fashion sense what so ever!

I 24YO, limited budget, size 18-22 top, size 20-24 fat arse bottom, on a diet and have the most boring poker straight below shoulder length hair to go with my dull look.

I like the Indie / skater styles (to relive my yoof :o) but don't know if I could pull it off nowadays...

Any advice or style tips would be greatly appreciated.

What basics do you have already? Good jeans? Nice jacket? Winter coat? Shoes?

Starting at the "foundations" I would make sure I had a good bra because it doesn't matter how fab the clothes are, if you're sagging or bulging underneath them you won't look or feel good.
