I just don't know what to wear anymore and would like to at least feel a bit more confident in my clothes. I have no money for new clothes.

I'm ok at work, have black trousers and skirt, a few tops and cardis.

But what do you all wear out of work?

I'm 49, size 14, 5 feet 7 and have below shoulder length brown (greying) hair.

I have a pair of straight jeans, bootleg jeans and skinny jeans (none of which fit well, but will have to do for now). I also have a black and a blue denim skirt.

But what tops do you wear?

I can't wear wool, as I have sensitive skin, also struggle with acrylic due to getting shocks!

I have t shirts, cardis, a couple of cotton or viscose jumpers. I'm very boring with colours , have mainly just grey or blue tops. Hmm

I'm never sure what colours to combine. What colour t shirt and cardi would go with indigo jeans? Is it best to wear navy t shirt and grey cardi or ok to wear three different colours?

And what boots/shoes with which jeans? I have lace up flat ankle boots, flat black knee length boots and black lace up trainers, oh, and black ballet flats. I have no heels.

I've never had a clue what to wear, it's even harder now. I want to look stylish, but casual.

I really can't shop at the moment, so need to make the best of what I've got.

Any ideas what to search for on Pinterest to get ideas? I can never find relevant stuff.

I'm not quite 40 (39) but like quite a few of the outfits on this Pinterest page for casual looks
