Its my 30th this year and the last 6 months have been a massive change for me. I've spent my 20s being between 5 and 3 stone overweight and am now finally slim. I've also started getting my hair cut and dyed blonde on a regular basis vs getting my dp to cut it with kitchen scissors ever six months and a home dye job every 4-8 months (meaning roots were frequently on show and significant). I only used to shower once a week and brush my teeth every other day (yes I know but I had serious low self esteem and spiralled).
I'm now getting much better in hygiene and looking after myself but as I've spent the last 10 years not giving a shit I don't really know how to do this. For my 30th I want to treat myself to clothes to help reinforce my new image. I've decided i want a nice quality autumn/winter coat, a real leather handbag, and good shoes/boots (I normally buy cheap as I wreck heels as have extremely high arches yet step very heavily although I've heard having metal bit added at a cobblers can save this)
Does anyone have any recommendations for these. With the coat the only thing I'm particularly fussed on it that it shows off my waist as I'm thrilled to finally have one. With the bag I like them large with lots of compartments. Also any suggestions to anything else I should treat myself too? Budget is £1000 approx
