40, in need of an overhaul. On a budget.

[Sparrowlegs248]

I was 40 last week, totally uncelebrated. Mid separation from husband. Two small children.

Ive somewhat 'let myself go' and not lost the baby weight but got into the right frame of mind now and am cracking on with it. Coloured my hair, getting it trimmed next week.

But, my clothes are crap. I'm declittering and want to buy a few things to perk me up for autumn/winter.

I have some dark navy skinnies that I kline but think these may be the wrong colour?

I have good boots, short and long but could do with some short flat ones - any suggestions?

Tops too, I've been in maternity and nursing tops for three years. I'd like some easy to wear but that look good (and wash well) classic.

Any other suggestions. I need help......

5"7 and currently too fat but this IS changing.

Decluttering.......

If you are wearing skinnies get some nice coloured long jumpers. I think that's always a good look

I'm in a similar situation and have turned to shirts. Liking them a lot more than my usual skinny t shirts in boring shades of dull.

If you're on a budget then eBay could be a good place to find tops and jumpers if you look carefully at fabrics and brands.

I find YouTube tutorials brilliant for getting tips on make up. How to apply, good cheaper brands etc.
If your hair and make up look good keep the rest simple. Skinny jeans with a nice top, blazer and a nice scarf and you're good to go. There's some really good stylists you can follow to get tips on everyday smart looks.
I got gorgeous Reiner boots a couple of years ago, flat, comfortable and smart looking.
Go you!
