I'm fed up with the way I dress so am looking for any advice about how to restyle myself now that I'm a 36 mother of 1 and not a 24 yr old student who rocks the scruffy indie club vibe. And I'm not convinced I ever did that especially well.
I have £1,000 and can find a bit more money if necessary. I'm after clothes to wear out of work- stylish going for brunch / going out in London to places my trendier friends choose.
I'm a podgy 5ft 5 size 12 with a 32J bust. My legs are good, my bum is flat, and my stomach is my trouble area and sticks out more than I'd like. I think I'm an apple shape- waist not much smaller than hips My bust means most standard clothes don't fit me. I shop in bravissimo for work stuff but don't like it for going out. I'm bad at separates as my podgy belly means I don't know whether to tuck in and get a weird rucky muffin top or leave things hanging out and look scruffy.
I like skirts, dresses, jeans, heels, flats, boots and cardigans. I like red, blue, black. I like other colours but don't wear them much. I'm pale pink with chestnut brown shoulder length hair.
I'm not really sure what I'm asking! I could visit a personal shopper but I don't know where to start.
Anyone with a similar body type want to share some wisdom?
Thanks in advance. I'm lost and want to enjoy clothes again.
