Ok this is a strange one I guess. I'm not a regular on here more a lurker.
Ok here goes... I'm ashamed to admit, that despite being in my early 40s, I don't think I dress very well. Don't get me wrong I've got some nice tops, trousers, dresses etc, and sometimes it works, but I seem to have a knack for getting it a bit wrong in my opinion (not just my opinion my DHs too - he often gives constructive criticism on my outfit choices).
I have tried different shops, more expensive items occasionally, but I still don't get it quite right.
I think for workwear I do fine, I've got a nice selection of dresses and that's ok. It's more weekends really. I just see other women out and about and you all look so bloody great and 'nicely put together' if that makes sense!!
I'm thinking of booking a personal shopper at John Lewis maybe, and getting an outfit or two. I can't afford/ don't want to pay ridiculous money, but happy to get a few quality items. I've started looking at catalogues (like crew, Boden etc) and wondering whether I just need to copy an entire outfit off a model on the page!! Pathetic isn't it but I just don't know what's wrong with me that I'm unable to do it. I don't want to ask friends for advice as I'm embarrassed really.
Any advice or thoughts much appreciated!! Please be gentle
