I have no idea how to dress!!

Long story short after years of being a yoyo dieter, pregnancy, breastfeeding and miscarriages I'm actually happy with my body/weight/shape. I had the realisation this morning getting dressed. I wasn't happy with what I saw in the mirror and suddenly realised that it wasn't my body I was unhappy with, it was my clothes.

The last time I was this weight I was in my early 20s and single. I'm now a married mother of 2 and 40 in December. I have no idea what to wear. I'm stuck in a jeans and jumper and trainers rut.

I want to upgrade my style but I'm not ready for "quality over quantity" as my kids are only 1 & 4 so there's still a lot of mess and bodily fluid involved.

I've been on Pinterest and the pins I'm pinning seen to be a basic outfit with a pop of colour from a bag or shoes or coat. I'm also loving leopard print shoes!

Any ideas what shops I should be looking at?? I really want a pair of flats that aren't trainers, casual trousers that suit a pear shape that aren't jeans and a few tops that aren't jumpers but I can still breastfeed in.

I’m 41.
How about swapping the trainers for loafers? Dune do a good pair.
I wear jeans a lot. What about black jeans instead of blue? Alternatively, slim fit chinos are a good day to day alternative at this time of year. Try GAP or Uniqlo.
Instead of a jumper, you could try a cotton blouse or a shirt?

I did a Topshop style session and ended up buying some nice stuff like fitting jeans. Might be worth trying. I’m also in a rut now so thinking of going again
