I believe I may have finally, and sadly, hit a clothing rut
and I need some help!
After few days spent on the usual high street sites I don't seem to be able to find any clothes that I like at all. Not a thing. Not that it helps that I don't really have money to spend. But what is it with clothes at the moment? Are they all purposefully designed to only be wearable if you are 5'11 and skinny?
I'm 5'1, about a size 10 (8 for some tops) but surprisingly squidgy for my size, I've got a definite bit of a post-baby belly that I haven't shifted in a year as I eat too much cake. All those tops that are shorter at the front than the back look awful on me. Anything too baggy makes me look pregnant again, but anything too tight around my tummy makes me paranoid. And because I'm so short anything longer than my hips tends to look like I am wearing my big sisters clothes
.
I just want a few nice jumpers to go with skinny jeans, preferably v-neck. Or maybe a decent blouse that doesn't need tucking in. Or a Breton top. Or just anything which looks casual but fashionable, appropriate for being in my early 30s, and is easy to run around after a toddler in.
Has anyone found anything decent recently? I wouldn't mind being able to get 2-3 tops for about £50 that will see me through Christmas and get me down the pub looking ok. Any magic suggestions?
