I need some help to defrump! I'm only 26 but feel 20 years older in my current clothes. Yesterday I had a massive clear out and sent 3 bags of stuff to charity and a bag of clothes so bad that it went to the bin but I don't know what to replace it with.

I am - 5ft 7, sizeable huge boobs, small waist but I have a jelly belly (there's basically no muscle there whatsoever, I can't even blame having children because I haven't) and then huge bum/hips/thighs and calves. I can't wear skinnies because I look like a parsnip and I feel very self concious. My calves are so big I have to buy "super curvy" wide leg boots if I want anything above the ankle... I'm currently a 12-14 on top and a 14 on the bottom although I am trying to lose weight (have lost 6.5lb over the past 3 weeks) so although I want to update my wardrobe I don't want to spend a fortune. I have just been to my local shopping centre and feel despondent as I don't know where to start. I'm very envious of those people who look put together. I end up looking like a bag of rags. Also my local shopping centre is basic to say the least! We have an M&S, a Debenhams and a House of Fraser... and thats about it for 'big' stores. There isn't even anywhere to get a decent bra fitting. I'm thoroughly fed up, so can anyone help?!

sounds like we have the same issues big boobs, small waist and my belly was jelly even before kids also haha. I have a 'uniform' jeans a plain baggy top or jumper & a nice scarf:)
scarves make all the difference and make it look like you've thought about what your wearing even if you threw it on.
try straight leg instead of skinny.
you won't need to spend loads as the main bits are quite basic & scarves are everywhere! I live the little random stalls in shopping centres:)
