Depressing day shopping, and hoping you lovely lot might help. I'm 38, 5ft 7 and a size 16-18. I want a 'nice' top that I can wear with jeans to the pub or a skirt to dress up a little. I'm not a girly girl, don't wear much makeup and live in jeans and a jumper, but want something that's just a bit elevated for drinks with the girls or a meal out. Everything I've tried today makes me feel super mumsy, or fatter than I am. I tend to avoid too much fussyness and tend to go for muted rather than bright tones, plums, khakis, etc. Many of my clothes come from supermarket/next, mostly for convenience but i'd be happy to spend a bit more for a few classic bits that wear well and look nice. Any thoughts?!?
