I really need to update my wardrobe for spring/summer but don't know where to start! My main problem is my figure and not knowing what would suit me any more! Want to order on-line, I think, as shopping would involve 2 hr trip to nearest big town and 4 kiddies in tow - not a good mix
.
Okay ... I'm 43, 5'7" and an 8/10. I've horribly skinny slender legs and a very wobbly tummy! The tummy is my main problem as I simply don't know what shape of trousers would be best. I want to get away from jeans but need something casual in their place ... and my tummy needs to be held in! I also need footwear but am a horned hoofer and my toe nails are in terrible shape with a fungal infection so they need to be hidden.
Here's what I do have ... quite a few t-shirts (plain and striped), one blouse (brown-ish print from Boden last year), one dark grey boyfriend cardigan which I lived in last summer but it needs some friends
, one pair of Gap real straight jeans with another on order. I tend to put my James/Seven skinny jeans away for the summer as with my legs they only look good with boots. I've got a pair of Gap casual beige trousers from last year but they're an awful shape so they're for out. Footwear-wise, one pair of blue ballet flats - not comfy for lots of walking but okay to slip on and off.
So where do I start? I don't like Next - their clothes simply do not suit my shape but am happy to try anywhere else. Budget wise ... I'm not going to think about that at the moment - I just want nice, well-fitting clothes! Don't really do skirts/dresses in the summer but we are off to London for a week with a trip to Wimbledon included so I do want to get something for Wimbledon and also a couple of outfits which will be nice for our week away!
Does anyone feel like helping! Thanks!
