Any tips?
TIA

Haw are your legs? In only 5'4 but I like short skirts with big jumpers and thick tights in the winter. If you have boobs wear a v neck or low scoop, so your top half doesn't look too bulky. Can't think what else, sorry, am not a style goddess!

I am apple shaped and size 18/20. I have also have big boobs. Height 5 foot 7.

I tend to stick to v necks or scoop necked tops. I find longer sleeves also look better too. I also like an empire line or wrap style of top of dress as find them more flattering. Also a longer line top so it doesn't stop on my big tummy and emphasise it.

I wear wide legged trousers in the summer, or either straight legged or boot leg jeans. I have just started to wear leggings again with a tunic and knee high boots.

Not sure how good it looks but have had complements on my new tunic and leggings combo.

nonsense I like my legs, they are long and a nice shape IMO.
I do wear leggings with wrap dresses, lots of v-necks (bust size 36F), but have stayed away from big jumpers as I thought they'd be too bulky.......
I am not very stylish, but would like to be, on a budget Sad
cece I will have a look for tunics I think.

I can't really wear jumpers or long sleeves because I get really hot, so either roll my sleeves up or use 3 quarter lengths.
