I'm in my early forties. I wouldn't say I've ever had a 'style'. I pretty much live in jeans and vest tops plus or minus a cardi if it's cold. I have some lovely dresses for weddings, and love how I feel when I'm dressed up, but it's all or nothing, and I have no idea where to start with just looking a bit smarter, without being over the top. I guess I'd love to look elegant and classy but honestly am not sure even if I was given 1000 pounds and a day without the kids to spend it in peace that I'd manage to get it right even then. Over the years I've bought the odd expensive thing I love- but then never know what to put it with. I mentioned to a friend that I was thinking of doing a John Lewis style advice thing, and she rolled her eyes and said it would be a rip off, and they'd sell me a load of over-priced things, and if I didn't have my own style by now there was no hope for me! It did get me thinking and wishing I'd been a bit more adventurous when I was younger, when it would have been more forgivable to be so clueless and make mistakes! I'm a bit worried I might agree to buy things that I think look 'cool' and be secretly mocked for getting it so wrong/looking like I'm trying too hard! So I guess what I'm asking is- does anyone else feel like this- clueless about style and a bit embarrassed to be having to get advice so late (relatively speaking) in life? And anyone have any thoughts on whether a style appointment is worth it? Or what I should do instead? Go easy on me!
