I am 54,51,and weigh 9st.<br /> I have just brought out my winter wardrobe.<br /> Aggggggh.It consists of black trousers, blouses,and per una cardigans (lots of).<br /> I also wear small heeled black shoes.<br /> I have quite a number of NEXT blouses in different colours as well.<br /> I have
block`dyed brunette hair.My nails are bright pink,although I have them done.
My image is very stale but I have to admit when I go on courses everyone seems to be wearing similar outfits,ie per una cardis,jewellery,black trousers,and they are in their 40s and 50s too.
Can you style gurus give me some good advice,like the clothes you buy.I want to look a bit sassier.
I did have my hair blonded and layered,flicked etc but soon become despondent as it looks flat straight after I have washed it.I have it in my head to grow it and keep it shiny and mid length.I have a hectic work life (full-time)and home life (disabled adult son and dh),and I have very little cash to spend on myself hence the corner hairdresser and ebay.Any tips very gratefully received and I will try to acknowledge as many as I can and update you on my progress.Many thanks.ps 9st is a bit overweight for me.I do try and exercise but the fat thighs and flabby arms are not helping my self-esteem either!!
