Help restyle me

Hi,
I'm in need of a major clothes restyle. I've just become a mum and have been living in jeans, tshirts and trainers but I look as though I've made no effort (because I've not!)
I'm desperate for some new clothes but not sure what and am open to suggestions.
I'm 37, tall, pear shaped and about a size 22 but hoping to lose weight. I'm breastfeeding so need easy access to boobs. I quite like quirky, vintage clothes but they need to be practical for wearing with a baby and comfy shoes!
Any ideas?

I have a friend who always looks really stylish. She's around a size 20 and buys lots of clothes in Yours - might be worth a look?

Whatever you wear you can team with some fab earrings from www.audreyandgeorge.co.uk. If you love your tshirts too try swapping for a nice skirt with them.

Thanks! I've not worn any jewelry since lockdown so that could definitely be a start to defrump me!

Your clothes options now don't sound particularly un-stylish so it just depends how your wearing them!

Mum jeans rolled up with white converse look nice, or trainers in the style the first poster commented with.

Dungarees rolled up with the same trainers look nice too

I often think its more hair and face that make people look more stylish. Not necessarily having loads of make up but having your skin look glowing and healthy, a bit of blusher etc. and find some hair styles that suit you. I always put volumising mousse and salt spray in my hair and chuck my head upside down when I'm about to blow dry it which has hugely changed the way I look (as daft as it sounds!)

Make sure your clothes fit well too, I put on a bit of weight and was in denial about it for a while, when I eventually started buying the right size clothes I got loads more compliments
