Hello.
I’m not new to mumsnet, but I never usually venture on to this board because I have never really bothered with style and beauty. I’m 56, overweight, haven’t had a professional haircut for 5 years, and spend my entire life in jeans, t shirt and fleece. I know, I sound gorgeous!
Anyway, I was recently traumatically widowed. I have been clearing out my husbands wardrobe and realised I hate all my clothes (or can’t fit into them). So, I’m ditching 75% of mine, too.
So, I need a complete new wardrobe of comfortable, practical clothes. I don’t really like shopping, so I’d like them to last, be mix and matchable and me feel a bit less like “Vera” from the tv series. Without posting a picture, the Vera character is actually quite close to my colouring, age and shape.
Which shops would you recommend? Can you link to some “looks”?
I don’t have endless funds, but willing to spend a couple of thousand if it will last me for a good while. Thanks for your help.
