I have been out clothes shopping three times recently and come back empty handed and down in the mouth - PLEASE HELP!!!

Am size 12-14 (more 14 than 12 but it depends on the shop), small of nork, 5'9", long of leg (34" so need shops that do long trousers), large of foot, bingo of wing and thick of middle (no discernible waist or bum)

Like the skinny jeans/tunic/layered look - but have not found the right jeans yet (tried skinny fit in gap but 12s are slightly too small and 14s are slightly too big).

Tunics confuse me - can anyone point me towards nice examples online?

How does one work the layered look?

God I'm clueless

I've got 34" inside leg, too. I find that some of M&S and NEXT trousers are ok to wear with flat shoes but not heels.
'New Look' do longer ones but they're not good quality.
M&S at London Colney just off j22 of M25 have got several of their mannequins dressed in layered look - I bet other large branches have, too. Even if you don't like their clothes it would give you some ideas.

That jacket wouldn't suit me (I am too ample of norkage for that style) - but I think it would look nice with the right jeans.
