Since breaking my back 4 years ago and suffering with depression I have gained a lot of weight. Subsequently, I have entirely given up on my appearance - my hair has not been cut in 4 years, my nails are chewed and awful, I am a size 22-24 and I wear leggings, t-shirt and cardigan every single day. I never attend social gatherings and rarely leave the house. My beautiful, amazing DSD is graduating in July and she would love me to attend the ceremony but has told me that although she desperately wants me to be there, she understands if I can't be. Her kindness and understanding has made me utterly determined to be there and to look as good as I possibly can. Please, please, wonderful ladies of MN, help me to find an outfit! I haven't set foot in a clothes shop in the last 4 years and would much prefer to order outfits and try them on at home so an online retailer would be fantastic.
I carry my weight around my middle and lower half. Very large tummy, big bum, big thighs, awful legs. Not at all comfortable with skirts and dresses so must be trousers. I'm not confident enough for bright colour all over but equally don't want to be head to toe in black. I know it's a huge ask but if anyone can help I would be so grateful.
I am going to arrange for a mobile hairdresser to come and chop my awful hair for me and maybe colour it and I am doing my best to start taking care of my nails, skin and diet. I just want to show her how much she means to me and how proud I am of her. She is a truly exceptional young woman and I so want her to have a fantastic day.
