Hello, I am in desperate need of ideas and guidance!
I have recently booted out a cheating husband, lost a couple of stone and toned up due to daily obsessive yogalates and am feeling generally pretty good about myself and how I look. Due to aforementioned marriage breakdown, I have been utterly skint for weeks and today got a very nice Tax Credits backpayment which leaves me with a tidy sum after paying nursery and rent arrears. I WANT SOME NEW CLOTHES! I am 31, now about a size 14 and pretty much clueless. I have never really left the grungy student stage, have always felt guilty about spending money on myself but am determined to spend some of this on some fabulous capsule items, and maybe a couple of fripperies :)
I don't have a specific style really, am usually in leggings and dress, or skinny jeans and top. I wear a lot of cardigans. I would like a decent pair of boots, a good coat and possibly a snuggly jumper, but what I am really lacking is tops.
I plan to go shopping on Friday when twatface has the DC, but would love some ideas beforehand otherwise I just start hyperventilating in the middle of New Look. Am also booked in for cut and colour on Saturday so am really in the mood for a style rejuvenation!
Any suggestions welcome! I am open minded and ready to experiment!
