As stated before, I am rubbish at knowing what to wear. I think I am stuck somewhere around 2002
So I signed up to Stitchfix and have been very pleased overall with the service - skip this bit if you know how it works:
You give the stylist chapter and verse on what you want and don't want, you like blue, don't like brown. You don't want sleeveless tops, or jewelery, but you do want jeans and a forest green blazer. You like v necks, or polo necks, you like cropped trousers, you like skinny jeans, you like things to fit tight, loose, baggy, etc etc. You then explain all about your body type and different sizes you wear, what brands you like, how much you want to be pushed stylewise, your lifestyle and whether you want clothes for work/date nights/lounging around (YES!) You also tell them if you want to exclude certain items, such as jumpsuits, or shoes, or you don't want leather, or polyester. You set a price band for each type of item - mine is set to cheapest - and you can tell stylist if there is something you want for a "fix" like a nice red dress for New Years Eve or clothes for WFH.
You will get £15 off your "fix" by using my code here

which will offset your £10 styling fee, which you only pay if you keep at least one item. If you keep your whole box you get 20% off the lot which is fab. I check all my items received and the prices online have never been different to what I have been charged.
So here is what I got this fix

Mint Velvet Cotton Star T shirt. This is plain white but has a silver star on one sleeve. It's a nice basic and I know I will wear it lots.
Louche Kiyo Printed midi Skirt. I didn't like this. Partly because I couldn't quite get the zip up
and partly because it is the sort of thing I wore in the early 90s. However, by keeping it, I get the 20% discount so get it for free and I know DD will love it.
People Tree Marta Leaf Print Dress - Navy. Lovely dress. Never heard of them before but it's an ethical brand and this dress looks lovely on, all swishy! I never would have picked this out online or in a shop or tried it on, and it's here that I really get the value of the service I think.
Moss Copenhagen Sabella Alpaca Cardigan in Fuschia. I cannot tell you how lovely this is. It looks like shit online, but in RL the softness, the full sleeves, the perfect length, the vibrant colour. Oh it is perfection as a pick me up for winter working from home. i may never take it off.
So, a good outcome, and DD will be very pleased as she loves the Louche of London brand. I didn't keep everything last time, so they gave me a free fix this time, no styling fee. I find their customer service very good like that.
It's definitely not for everyone, so if you know you have very definite ideas of what you want or you know you are difficult to please, maybe steer clear, but with the discount code I gave you don't have anything to lose really for a one off. You can set for a one off, for every 2 months, every 6 months, whatever you want.
Next fix booked for February and will have fingers crossed for another good one then, and that I will be asking for "going out clothes"
