Lost...

[Deecee1012]

I'm mid 50's but told I look younger. 5"8 and a size 16....legs are a mess due to a medical condition.
For many year's I was very much "rock chick" style - however the last few year's, for many reasons, I've sort of lost myself and don't know how to get back on track. I'm not vain, not a clothes mad person but am in such a rut.
Help??

You're not alone. 44 and lost former rock chick becoming a frumpy rut myself but determined to find my look again. My issue is weight gain.

If you have problems with legs could you rock black jeans?

Thanks Middleoftheroad, I've thought about jeans but then i start...straight, high waist etc.
Am so indecisive!!

I think you're tall, which always helps (Im 5ft 2 and look terrible in jeans, but found some high waisted ones in New Look to cover muffin top)

Maybe coupled with a black blazer tshirt and nice silver jewellery. A plether or denim jacket is a staple item too.

It's so hard when you've always had a look and age/body shape tries to steer you to Frumpton. There was a zombie thread recently about wearing Converse past 40, but I wouldn't dream of trading mine in (I have some with a modest wedge) for comfy sandals.

My mother is 72 and retains a glam rock look that's still chic and not frocky horror, because it is stylish.
