I just look so bland atm. I am into all the 50's clothes and have a fair few but they are all going out clothes. In the summer I wear nice dresses but never sure what to wear on my feet as need to be practical for dog walking.
All I seem to have worn for the past 6 months is a pair of blue jeans (which I swore I would never wear) and a plain black top. I always used to have funky hair but decided to grow out my natural colour, this meant haVING my hair cut short, the colour is lovely but with short natural coloured hair I just feel a bit bland and blend into the crowd. I do things to make myself feel better paint my nails and usually wear makeup.
The worst sign I think is that i bought some knickers from primari last week, they dont fit, are too small incredibly uncomfortable and look hideous, but you know what I have been wearing them all week anyway.
so wise ladies tell me where to find my mojo and how to feel a bit more like myself rather than just another mum.

Do you go out alot? If not you have a wardrobe of gorgeous clothes going to waste so you need to find ways to wear them in the day dressed down with cardis/denim jackets/leather jackets etc maybe?

And fgs throw the ill fitting primark knicks in the bin!

I wear dresses nearly everyday. Many are silk etc. They can be dressed up or down. I only own 2 pairs of trousers and rarely wear either. I dog walk in dress and wellies or dress and flat pumps. If you have lovely clothes then wear them.

Pants in bin now! Get some nice cheap jeans to dog walk in and then get changed when you get back, capri pants or full skirts if you like the fifties look? Buy nice tops in whatever store is cheapish for you and will wash well if get muddy. Hat?

now I do love a good hat, I have a beautifuln silk wide brimed sun hat, just too active and worried it will blow off, more a sitting around sipping cocktails kind of hat, guess I could pin it on. Really should ditch the keks think they might have been he final straw.
capris hadnt though of that, and some nice ballet flats would be good, need to sort wardrobe out and see what I already have. I definatley feel happier in skirts and dresses but i hate tights with a vengance so tend not to wear them until it warms up.
I definatly need some new undies, been trying to buy one set a month but other things have come up over the last few months like summer uniform and getting the dog groomed.

I dont go out much at all and really should wear my beautiful clothes every day. I do have lots, I love all the tea dresses which seem to be in this year.
dont know what to do about my hair. I keep nearly dying it but then thinking it has taken me 6 months to get rid of the colour, and it is a beautiful red (although a little more silve than I would like) think I want to grow it back I loved it when it was long and have hated it since I had it cut.
