I look hideous in everything.

My arms look about 40 years older than me.

My legs look like chicken drumsticks (with the skin)

If you squint, I could be jimmy cranky.

I hate being short and untoned/flabby

can you go shopping?

if not then what do you have?

black trousers, heels, a nice top (with a cardi over if necessary) and earings, necklace and make up to finish off.

Why have you no time to go shopping?

Get up early one Saturday morning and decide on three shops you;re going to look in and then go home

Ditch teh shorts. Are you quite slim?

Go to gap and buy an outfit.

I have just started wearing ear rings again after years of not being bothered and it makes me feel quite glamorous. The small things

im an 8/10 but not toned so my thighs continue to move long after I have stopped (I feel anyway)

I have some skinny jeans, nice high shoes and lots of tops. Just very normal though isnt it?

Think I will pop out and get some amazing accesories.

yes, start off by getting some very pretty accessories. There are beautiful bracelets around at the moment.

8/10!

You mention nice high shoes - I think these are your best starting point. If you haven't got a pair that you truly adore, go and get some. Then anything you put on with them will feel instantly glam, you'll look taller & your legs will appear longer & slimmer.

I recommend metallic strappy or peeptoe (really high) heels as they go with everything and make anything look more 'evening'.
