Aged 37, sahp so need day to day clothes, gym, odd lunch, no very dressy stuff needed

5 months postnatal (on a very slowweight loss journey) size 18, 5'8'', I would say my weight is evenly distributed, I feel comfortable with how I look in skinnies, (though as a relative newbie who lurks shocked to see term parsnip legs!)

I am v confused now after reading frumpy thread. I have shopped regular at next over the years Shock or Blush.

I shop high street, and quite like monsoon as feel their cut is good for me. Like my jeans and trainers but also quite feminine pieces from monsoon. Current wardrobe:

Straight leg jeans
Skinny jeans (mint velvet) > all dark blue
Skinny jeans (next)
Long sleeve ts black/grey/white

Heavy fur trimmed pink tweed gullet from fatface
Long black quilted Parker with fur trim
Thin khaki green grungy Parker

Long grey cowl neck
Long grey cardigan
Longline navy cardigan
White v neck cardigan

Navy, red, black poppy print tunic dress (large abstracty looking)
Denim shirt dress
Cotton black shirt dress
Feather print dress (black white turquoise)
Black and white maxi print dress

Tan boat shoes matching tan leather bag
Navy supergas
White footbed sandals
Nude wedges with corsage decor, and cork heels
Black wedges simple toe bar and straps round.

I have other stuff that I suspect I should not wear anymore, I'll check these later.

So I. Trying to plan my AW buys and just don't know:

Black skinned or straight legs
Black with white spots peplum top
Knee high boots black, but havnt got a clue what to get.
Classic style mac in Berry colour for autumn
And these..

this cardigan

this dress which I will have to wear with leggings, or thick tights and black knee highs.

I have just bought a pair of mustard pumps quite plain suede that would go great with cardigan for £10 and found two fossil bags across body ones for £40 each.

I'm tired feel like I get it wrong, and constantly struggle with practical (possibly frumpy) to should I buying seasonal disposables, or classic core wardrobe.

I want to just keep on the right side of on trend without being a full blown fashionista. I have started to get hair done every month, but nails never seem to get them sorted.

You wear whatever the hell you actually like wearing.

Anything "peplum" gives me the jitters (I feel I have a natural peplum already ta) but I love that top.
