Casual outfit ideas - sorry it’s long!

I’m going to have to spend the weekend with my ex and the woman he left me for. Really not looking forward to it. I would absolutely love to look good! Im not trying to win him back and I don’t want him to want me but I’m usually a bit of a mess and I don’t want to feel self conscious around them.

I’ve never been good with clothes. I don’t know what’s “in” or what goes together and as a result I never buy anything new (and if I do it gets sent back). Most of my clothes are ones I still had when we were together.

Is there anyone out there willing to give me some tips/suggestions? I’m well overdue a wardrobe overhaul. I’ve spent the evening trying on outfits that I have and I just look frumpy. I’m early 30s and a size 8 so I’m hoping I can do better than frumpy!! It’s just a couple of casual outfits I need so probably skinny jeans (I’m going to order some Joni/Jamie topshop ones) but no idea what colours are in or tops to wear? And I have black ankle boots I could wear with them....and a biker jacket. Or a casual dress and tights with the ankle boots?

I know this post sounds very pathetic - but wouldn’t most people want to look good faced with an ex? For what it’s worth I feel like I’m happy and doing well in life at the moment....I just want the outside to project that.

That just brilliant.

Classic behaviour from an ex - I hope it made it even clearer how much better off you are without him?

Thank you for the update....Onwards and upwards!!
