my winter uniform is jeans and black T-shirt. with a couple of jumpers.

Spring and Autumn the same, with less jumpers.

summer uniform usually cropped linen trousers and black T-shirt.

HELP!

i feel too large for any legging types but hanker after a legging and tunic type look.

or a maxi dress? but can't do no sleeves, cap sleeves or poofy sleeves. or any sort of dress, but tum is flabby.

what can wear#?

how about seeing if a colour other than black suits you in t-shirts - just go and try a load of different colours on and see which looks good. What are you wearing on your feet - some pretty flat sandals?

what about a more tapered trouser with a floatier longer top?

And a chunky sandal to balance you out? And chunky beads?

v neck baggy t shirts but tighter bottoms Grin like hot pants

southeastastra · 10/04/2011 21:12

la redoute usually have nice long line baggier tops, i love the baggy 80s look Grin

i am comfortably invisible in a black T-shirt.

if i wore hotpants i'd probably kill random strangers with the sigt.
