“Oh” said the personal shopper

Crown Sad After a difficult few years with all things me being put aside, an embracing 2020 as the year for me. Have got back into a sport I love, am enjoying eating better and am picking up so many good tips from the S&B boards I actually feel pretty good Grin. Just as well really after my personal shopper session. Researched for a while and found a private lady who seemed to be a good fit. Completed detailed questionnaire, explained I liked a quirky/edgy (age appropriate so no crop tops (Grin) style and am 5’2’ and 14/16 and mature of years 55).If a bit thinner would wear converse/pleated skirts but too thick of middle atm. Sent lots of photos, had phone conversation-was v clear I wanted casual clothes (work is a uniform so no prob there) and some going out clothes. Met and her first comment was “oh” then “might be difficult getting the right fit”. I know! That’s why I booked her! Suffice to say it didn’t go well (did get a nice pair of jeans so not all bad!). Have been trawling Instagram and Pinterest- please, if anyone knows any sites that are good for short and chunky hourglass shapes (I can filter for age/quirky) I might be able to build my wardrobe after my declutter..

@Wearywithteens. I’d really recommend giving JL personal shopping a try. I’m 5ft 1in and an overweight size 14 with 32FF boobs and I have found their services invaluable. As I mentioned upthread they aren’t great for jeans but their personal shoppers have recommended many, many great tops and dresses that I would never have even glanced at on the shop floor. I have gone from dreading having to go to a formal or semi formal event to positively looking forward to them because I have so many nice things to wear.

Yes I agree Inherdefence JL do formal well, just not so good at casual which is what I’m trying to naIl atm
