I just don't know what to wear anymore, not even sure what looks good on me :(

Please inspire me...

I'm 5'6, 32 DD (thanks to the intervention!) size 12-14, horrible tummy and legs... Brunette, and blue eyes, pale skin... If it makes a difference I'm almost 40...

I live in skinny jeans but keep putting on weight and I think it's noticable although friends say not.

Oh, high street prices please :)

Thanks!

Yep I live in skinnies with boots, a long top and a scarf. Failing that a dress with leggings/thick tights and boots. Every day! [yawn]

Apparently skinnies are on the way out though, then what will we do?!

Hello not sure if I am qualified to advise but I am in the middle of an extensive revamp after a few years in the post DC style wilderness.
I am possibly bigger than you and a bit older ( early 40s but in denial!)

I have recently bought the following

Baukjen elisa jumpsuit in black
White company boyfriend jeans
White company zip joggers

I seem to have lost my way, please help!

Sorry posted too soon!

I haven't actually tried the boyfriend jeans yet - hope they are ok.
The jumpsuit is amazing as I feel modern and put together and you can wear it so many ways.
Am sure you will find similar on high street - though I got all these on discounts / flash sale so not too £££ in the end.
Still working on tops but I have quite a bit that will work of from last year.

I am similar height and build. How about expanding the trouser horizons to patterned? Or interesting top with skinnies. Try Oasis?

Chocamochalatte · 16/03/2015 21:37

I like jumpsuits but they def make my tummy look even bigger! The same with the joggers... :(

I have looked at the patterned trousers in H&M but don't know where to start... Will check out Oasis :)

Oasis is a good shout they have some lovely tops I spotted.

Maybe you could do a personal shopper session and try some really different things? I honestly didn't dream I would be considering wearing a jumpsuit to work!
The black is forgiving - mind you I am pear shaped and patterned trousers scare me!
