Hi all, looking for your help please as you have done before for me!
I've recently lost lots of weight so am rebuilding my wardrobe. I'm going out with some younger friends on Friday and want to look good! Before I would wear trousers and a top that showed my boobs off (to stop them looking at all my fat) but I feel far more confident now but have no idea what is fashionable or what would suit me. I can't wear skinny jeans as they look horrific on me and they seem to be everywhere!
I wear little dresses or trouser suits for work and leggings and tunics or jeans at home. I'm a size 16/18 top and size 18bottoms. I'm 5ft 7, brown hair big boobs and an hour glass figure. I'm self concious of my tummy. I would have £75 max to spend but really I imagine that will include shoes....I do have some brown wedge sandals that are nice or some platform/super high heel with glitzy on the front black shoes. Any thoughts help would be greatfully recieved!

Where are you going? Just to a pub? Or for a meal, or to a club?

And what would you feel most comfortable in? x

Thanks all, I wear dresses for work so don't want to look "samey" I like the look of the trousers. Don't think of coloured trousers! Will have a look at some. We are going for a meal at a nice restaurant and then off into town. So if I had the trousers what would I wear with them? My black shoes and a black top? Would I try to keep shoes and top same colour?

Hard to say. Id have a whirl of what suits. With bright trousers I think you need to keep tops pretty neutral or you look a bit kids tv presenter.
