Off out with friends on Friday and i NEED help. I have lots of problem areas though :-( its a pubby night, fairly low key but i'd like to make an effort?!
Problem areas include:
-Size 16
-Massive 36h norks (have decent bras though and not massively self conscious about them)
-Big apron tummy (i sound lush don't i?!)
-crap legs and swollen feet (med condition so am limited with shoes - will be wearing 3 inch wide fit Evans heels

I'm a lost cause aren't i? Lol!

Never mind the problem areas - what do you want to look like? Whose style do you admire? What makes you feel good?

You are pretty much describing me. LOL

I would wear dark indigo skinny jeans and a nicely fitted top. Not to short and not to baggy. But not too tight to cling to the rolls. I also like a long pendant to give a deep v shape at the neckline so even if I don't wear a v neck I get the v shape to disguise the 36Hs.

Umm - not sure - i guess i just want to look nice, smart trendy?? I'm only 35...

What do you want to wear? i.e dress or jeans/top?

BobPatSamandIgglePiggle · 25/01/2014 07:16

I'd be happy in either if i felt right (i know, crap response)

Maybe jeans (although i think i might look crap with my belly?? :-( and a blazer? Or is that like 'so last year' ??

I think the key is feeling comfortable as in confident in what you are wearing not comfort for sobbing around the house.
I would go jeans, nice simple top and blazer if you wish and then accessories that stand out and nice make up and hair. Sorry not really much help but I always think the understated look is best.

Blazer is a gd idea. Single button, fairly structured and bracelet length sleeves, or roll back the sleeves. Jeans will keep it low key.
