Blush

I'm 5ft3. Size 12/14 - more a 14. I have fat legs, a very wobbly tum and a fat arse.

I need a whole new wardrobe - I did buy some dresses to wear with leggings/tights about a month ago when out with DD (she's 13 and was very brutal in her comments) and I like them but...

I want a pair of jeans that fit. My legs are so short that normal jeans are far too long. I'm a DFR kind of a person (Do Fucking Rightly) I have no patience.

My hair is in a bob (I'm growing layers out) - should I get extensions?

I need/want

a pair of tan boots (fat calves, normal boots won't fit over skinnies and I want a pair to go over skinnies)

a pair of bootcut jeans that FIT and don't go under my belly - sad to say I want high waisted to hold my belly in

a decent top or 5

and a nice bag.

But I'm a single parent and don't have much money - maybe £700 tops (really £500 but I'd stretch if necessary)

And I have no patience to go shopping. I hate trying stuff on. It's depressing.

HELP

Oh and I never wear make up so some of that would be good too.

And I'm going into town on Friday with DDs shopping for clothes for them so might do me while I'm there

Oh god, can't believe I'm posting in here cos I'm definately no expert but here goes Grin

I'm a 5'4 size 14 so some suggestions for you

Jeans - I've just discovered Dorothy Perkins super skinny in the short length. They fit lovely, wash really well (no softner) and aren't too costly £25 I think. I got black, navy blue.

Tan boots are great. I got mine in Next about 2 years ago and they are generous fit over my new jeans and some of my older slimmer fit. Worth trying some on. Mark and Spencer I have also found good for boots if your calf is on the larger side like mine.

Make up - def bare minerals starter pack £45

Tops - I always prefer Wallis, Phase eight or Dorothy Perkins

Couple of wrap dresses (with Spanx if required)

Can't help with bag cos I need a nice large black every day one and have not gone near a shop sonce before xmas.

Stay away from Next I swear they have a size 12 modelling their size 14 cos I have hated the fit of everything I have tried on in there recently

oh P.S get your make up done first before you go shopping, makes you feel better when you look in the mirror I think.
