all you style gurus help a lady in need

[sophiewd]

I have £400 saved to go shopping for new clothes. Now this is a real experience for me as never had that much money and not really into clothes but don't want to show up my georgeous DD. I am off to southampton next monthto spend but also have big Tescos. So what to buy. As well as being a mum I also run a B&B and sepnd time on the beach so don't need anything to smartish but comfortable and practical and stylish. I am short and fat Over to you.

bumping this for the style gurus

id say go to next, the have a petite range, for women 5'2" and under
their jeans are good, they have loads and loads of tops, lots of smock style which is great for spring
they also have some really cool wedges, i fancy the red pair they have in stock just now
a nice summery mac too

hows that for starters

am off to search for links

gorgeous mac

i'd agree - get loads from next - easy to shop online and free returns

next petite range is huge

Thank you all

I'm not a fashion guru but a few people have pointed me in the direction of wallis this year, might be worth a look.

Principles petite range is good and well cut for curvy bodies.
Perhaps aim for a few useful pieces, nice jeans/casual trousers, some pretty tops, decent casual shoes, good bag and also a nice haircut?
Happy shopping...

Since I haven't hadmy haircut since this time last year that is top of thepriority list

Meant to add that Principles has a good website with quick delivery, which might make things easier...
Good haircut def helps you feel more polished (ish)... :-)

yes go adn treat yourself to a lovely cut and blow dry

debenhams have some nice stuff at the moment
