I have totally lost my way.
I’m 47, tall and size 18/20 pear shape. 16 on top. Sticking out tummy and wide hips. Neatish high waist. 36E bust.
I wear glasses and I’m going a bit grey. I’ve stopped dyeing my hair because being a brunette stopped suiting me once my skin started ageing. My hair is medium to light brown. Skin is pale.
My wardrobe consists of black trousers, jeans and one or two dresses in black or grey. My tops are plain white, navy or black in a variety of long sleeve, short sleeve, some fitted and some loose. Very little in terms of pattern.
My footwear is massively limited due to foot pain. Mainly I wear Allbirds but they are £££ so I don’t have many - I live in a black pair and a grey pair plus an off white pair of trainers.
I feel so lost. I want to be more stylish. I think I let my weight hold me back, but I see other women my size looking amazing in lovely clothes and I wonder why I’m hiding in all these boring clothes. And that’s the thing really - my clothes are so boring.
I love looks that are a bit boho / alternative (I was a teen goth 🙄) but I have nothing like that in my wardrobe. I have zero confidence in myself and I think I’ve just tried to blend into the background too much.
