Really curious.

All of a sudden everything makes me look and feel like a matronly frump 😢

Size 10 but curvy with boobs and a belly.

I’m 39 but all of a sudden the things I used to wear look awful on me.

Help

A dark green military style jacket from tk maxx about 13 years ago. Sad

This dress, it’s super comfy and flattering and can be dressed up or down. I’ve worn it to work and to the theatre and have had loads of compliments

This jumpsuit from Next. Wore it to a party and felt fabulous, I got loads of compliments Smile I had my colours done, I would never have dreamed of getting something so bright before but knowing it was a colour that suited me made me confident!

Plain black silk/cotton polo neck jumper originally from woolovers but bought bnwt on eBay. A little oversized but its perfectly baggy/loose fit that seems to go with everything.

@JaceLancs I'm eyeing off the bright pink Hobbs coat but I wasn't sure whether the colour would be wearable ... this gives me hope!

DinosApple · 22/02/2019 06:01

A plum coloured wool coat from Whistles. I love it and the colour suits me.

Everything else in my wardrobe is getting a bit tight.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 22/02/2019 06:14

@SteelRiver

Oo I recommended that exact dress on a thread on here about a month ago and got my arse handed to me. I'm so glad someone else loves it!

TrainSong · 22/02/2019 06:18

A caramel coloured trenchcoat last autumn. Now it's spring again it's coming back out. I love it. Everything I've bought since has just been clothes to put on, not stuff I feel great in, because the cut that's in fashion at the moment really doesn't flatter my body shape.

gettingtherequickly · 22/02/2019 07:06

All saints jacket, reiss skirt and a bombshell dress.

Had my colours and style done and it's made shopping really easy.
