I need overhauling. I've got awful clothes and my uniform of jeans and boots screams "Mum who's given up caring what she looks like"- not all mums look like this, but I do.
My work wear is where I need to start- my office is smart casual- no jeans, but suits and dresses invite "ooh, got an interview?" type comments. I wore a linen grey long sleeve t today with black trousers of a fit which was neither wide legged, nor straight legged, but too baggy to be good. Awful Clarks wedges which look orthopaedic, but lost my ballet pumps I would wear normally and too warm for knee boots under them ( I know, I know- awful awful).
I need to know please:
Trousers- what cut should I look for? Happy to wear heels if needed and buy new ones
Shoes/ boots- saw that kitten heel coming back, but I look beyond bad in them. Brogues/ loafers gone or still ok? Ankle boots and slimmer trousers? What will look younger? I'm mid-40s but student in my head and a bit indie in my clothing leanings. I was a docs and denim skirt and cheesecloth top at uni type if that helps!
And weekends- I'm pear shaped and skinnies look ok with knee boots, but not sure knee boots are ok? Can I wear an ankle boot with a skinny? I like some stone coloured ones I saw on here a while back- kind of mushroom colour. I need taking in hand please!! I also like a scarf, but see this needs to stop...
