If you had 200 quid to 'update your wardrobe'

What would you buy?

I'm relatively young but don't look it after a few child ravaged years and would really like to try and look slightly fashionable again. What should I get to try and make me look a bit groovier?

I'm a size 8/10 but bottom half massive compared to top (and small of nork) so high waisted jeans are out I think. And I don't think I'm slim enough to get away with the type of stuff that does nothing for your figure but it doesn't matter since you're such a babe type stuff.

At the moment I am very uniqlo looking. I wear long sleeve plainish tops, skinny jeans and high top trainers.

I think smaller on top type stuff suits me better rather than billowy tops with tight jeans. I used to wear cropped ish tops and maxi skirts a lot which I think looked quite nice (fashion blind though so likely I looked absurd)

Help me S&B goddesses

Actually would a really amazing £200 haircut poss have more impact than clothes? (I know nothing about fashion and get my hair cut for £20 so prob yes!)

This one mewkins?

Love it and would like amazing with dark denim flares.

Denim dress yes! Great idea.

What's a crossover blouse?

I've got some leopard print pony superga that am hoping can be my shoe for the spring/summer but maybe not versatile enough?

I love the idea of posh joggers but not sure if I could pull them off. Have only ever seen them in magazines I think.

Haircut is a no, a kind benefactor is funding the clithes, specifically for clothes.

Oh great I've now looked at statement necklaces on anthropologie. Probably couldn't even afford one! A few gorgeous ones though.

Your Supergas should go with everything. Leopard print is a neutral!

This is a cross-over/wrap front top: www.riverisland.com/women/tops/blouses--shirts/Black-wrap-front-pocket-blouse-665913

I have a navy one from M&S although I haven't worn it yet.
