Please help! I'm 52, 5 foot 1 and a size 16-18 with HUGE boobs. I need to lose a good few stone in weight. I'm a Spring, and love wearing colours like turquoise, teal and coral.
I've been thinking a lot about streamlining my wardrobe, and getting to the point of wearing what I love and feel comfortable in.
I work part time at the moment, so have a "uniform" of black trousers and a top etc, but I'm looking forward to a few years time when I can ditch all these clothes and wear what I want.
My absolute favourite type clothes are "hippy" type clothes; think the type of baggy trousers you pick up in a market in Thailand. I have several pairs of these, and love wearing them with a T shirt that I tie in a knot at the waist. I also collect crystal pendants which I wear on a torque around my neck. I love maxi dresses or skirts but they are awkward because I'm short.
In my head I am that willowy long haired blond with a cheesecloth flowy top, a straw hat and very short denim shorts, and ethnic bangles, but the reality I wasn't even that at 18. Sigh.
I have bought several pairs of trousers from Forgotten tribes which I love, but wonder if anyone can recommend anywhere else?
Also, any styling ideas of how to look good as a short, fat, dumpy , booby hippy, where I don't look as if I'm trying to have a Gap year, when my reality is more food shopping in Tesco's and walks on the beach!
