I need something other than jeans - Help please!

[whitelillies]

Thats it really - I m tired of skinnies and denim, I need something else to wear -
I ve plenty of pretty tops- I love labels like maje/kooples/ whistles and tend to get a lot of stuff from zara/ massimo dutti too

I would like a few options other than jeans though but am a little stumped and afraid to step out of my comfort zone-

i m not keen on tunic dresses though, but would wear a dress with opaques,
Would love some non denim trouser and skirt suggestions - I m 5'8 size 8 ish pear shaped so dislike stuff that s baggy around the hips as i think it makes em look even bigger

Can anyone help please?

I'm thinking of getting this dress from DottiePs for the same reason. Denim overload.

A high waisted palazzo would help with balancing out in the hip department. I am more a dress / skirt girl though, so hopefully someone else will be along to advise on that front.

For skirts - as you like maje/the kooples type styles, have you tried on anything in Cos? I find it looks shapeless on the hanger, but can fit well.

Another option on the dress front is to have a look at DVF (non-wrap - her 'Rika' dress is v.flattering and does day-to-night well). For less pricey frocks try Great Plains / Whistles / Topshop / Dotty P's or Oasis.

Thanks for the suggestions - I like dresses - well the idea of them - I seem to have a long body so a lot of dresses look fine in hanger but then when input them on the waist is under my boobs and I end up with that baby doll Look - not one I aim for!
I don't think I d like palazzo trousers < fussy>
Like that dress linked from dotty p though
