Well DH has been a bloody ledge this week and deposited £200 in my account to get some clothes!

BUT....

I'm clueless! I used to be stylish. I used to be cool. But now....well, I only just realised I should not be wearing bootcut jeans.

I'm 29, size 14 all over. I like colours and prints, especially greens, browns and nudes. I've got red hair and light skin but not really pale.

I like the coloured jeans that are around at the moment, but they're all super skinny. Not sure my monster thighs will be able to hack it.

I'm really looking for day stuff, I've got work stuff and going out stuff. I've got DS who's 15 months so real life stuff has to be practical but I'm really keen to look stylish.

Show me what you got Gals...

Why don't you book in with a personal shopper in a department store? My sister needed an outfit and she came and helped us pull the lot together. We gave her an idea of what we wanted, she went out and collected it all! Most places its free!

You sound like you might have sort of autumn colouring (big fan of colour analysis here) so if you stick to warm soft colours everything you buy will work together.

I live in these M&S Jeggings they are sort of skinnies without being too skinny on the leg, so so comfy and come in great colours. For you id suggest the Brick and the Teal colours. Super cheap too and wash really well.

I like cosy knitwear, something like this or this either would go with both pairs of those jeggings above

Denim shirts seem to be having a moment too, loads of them around.

Ive just bought these ankle boots from Clarks, rip offs of the Ash ankle boots but much cheaper and very comfy for everyday here There is a 20% off code on the go atm, so got them for £48
