So... I feel lost style-wise. I've lost 3 stone over the last few months so gone from size 22 to 16-18 and I'm feeling a lot more confident but I just do not know what to wear!

I'm 5ft 2 with big boobs, big bum and chunky legs (long boots are a heartbreak).

Things I like wearing: leggings and dresses but struggle with what to put on my feet. I would love to wear long boots but just can't squeeze my legs into most. I have just bought some wide ones from Evans but I am cramming my legs in and need a lie down after putting them on!

I also like wearing jeans and longer tops. I'm currently living in jeans, long vest and jersey cardis but or leggings, just above knee dress and cardi. With flat ankle boots... I don't think the boots are flattering on my legs though.

I'm willing to try new things. I want to feel young (I'm only 28) and a bit stylish.

Can anyone make suggestions?

I thik what you are wearing sounds fine ;)

But how about boots like these:

You could wear some fitted jeans instead of the leggings or with thick tights and a wrap over dress or a dress like this:

Are you better with a fit and flare type dress?
Something with a bit more material in the skirt....maybe a skater dress?

If you've got large hips they can emphasise it though.

Simply Be do boots in various calf sizes if that's any help
