Help for a lost soul..

[fortheloveofmike]

I have recently lost 3 stone and nothing fits me anymore. Yay! However this means I need a whole new wardrobe. I am on a very limited budget and I want to get a few things that will coordinate all together. I don't need any going out clothes, its mostly casual as I have a toddler so lots of soft play/ park but I am sick of sodding leggings with ugg boots!! Please can anyone help.. Shops I use are next, new look and Dorothy Perkins but happy to look elsewhere. At the moment I'm wearing skinnys ankle boots and loose tops but want to be stylish as well as comfy. Oh and I'm now a size 14
Thank you

Mostly following because you could be me! Have you thought of casual dresses with your ankle boots for spring, then trainers/sandals in the summer? There's a risk of knicker exposure with a toddler, but dresses are very comfy if you're not precious about them

Yes I like the idea of a dress but worry about flashing my bum.. Think im after a blazer to wear once it's warmer and I like high tops but am I to old? (35)
I see lots of things I like but struggle to put together a look myself. Also have scarves so would like to incorporate those..

I have just bought the new flared jeans from m&s and they are fantastic - comfortable but well cut and a bit more stylish than pulling on a pair of skinnies. Well worth a look because they're only £35 too

I like that.. like navy alot

Yes i need things that all go together.
I'm trying to find my own "style" I feel I've lost it a bit as been pregnant twice and fat the rest of the time. Getting used to a new me

Same here.. I automatically go for the same styles. Am going to take my time I think and try different things on. I don't need a wardrobe full of clothes just a few well chosen things. Seems like an impossible task though as I hate shopping!!

Hmm you're about the same age as me too mike. Have you noticed that the 90's/early noughties is back, fashion-wise? I'm channelling my 20-something self, wearing things I couldn't have worn 5 years ago, it's great! So I guess what I'm saying is, think back to what you used to like wearing in your youth unless it was crop tops it'll probably still look good!
