Title says it all reallly. Since having kids I seem to wonder round the shops aimlessly like a lost soul.

Am 5ft9, size 14. Apple shaped.

Seen any outfits for me? Was wanting something that I can wear after the wedding to Christmas do's IYKWIM?

OK

Where did you used to shop, and what did you like?

What kind of budget?

Be patient with me.....

Dress if poss, want to be a bit glam (as I live in jeans and need a bit of glam!

Have got black strappies, but would like to get a pair of shoes or boots at the same time?

Don't really want to spend more than £100 - less if poss!

On your marks, get set, go!!!

Very first shots - tell me what you think and it may help narrow it down...

Hi

The first is a bit busy printwise - I like something a little more understated I think?

Liking number 2 better but with it being nearly Nov may be a little cold (strappy!!!)

Nice - but wouln't say it's glam.

Perhaps nice to be a bit more dressy for a wedding?

(Without outshining the bride or looking like a hooker obviously.....)

If this is the other one you were looking at above, then it looks v nice - hits the classy but glam factor bang on, i think.
