Lost 3 stone! Help with outfit ideas, pic included.

[Stylemebetter]

I have lost 3 stone going from a size 18/20 to a size 12/14. I used to wear tunics and leggings as comfy and hid me a bit. Now I don't want that look. I'm still continuing to lose weight.

I'm going out in a few weeks to a city and want to look nice. I know skinny jeans aren't " in". Not sure I can do mom jeans. I'm fairly broad, small boobs, no waist and big legs 😂.

Help me to look slimmer and reasonably decent! I am 43. Budget is very much high street. I usually shop at places like asos, Dorothy Perkins and next.

I just don't know what suits me so wear black tee shirts and jeans or running leggings all the time. I wouldn't go out in the outfit pictured I would wear a top over the vest but just to give an idea of my shape.

Thank you 😊

Hmm, you're a similar shape to me.

You've got narrow hips so I'd be making the most of them: would you wear a skirt, around knee length or pencil? Maybe with a broad belt and a top tucked in?

Your arms look nice and toned so definitely show them off.

Not sure if this is your style, but if you wore this dress with some (perhaps silver?) heels and a broad belt to show off your waist I reckon you'd look fab.

I'd be going for a jumpsuit with either a small heel or wedges! Your figure is lovely! If you can get away without wearing a bra, you can broaden your range with the cuts.i.e lower back, strappy etc. X

Thank you for the ideas.

I forgot to say I have the worst veins and I can hardly ever fake tan successfully so I prefer my legs covered. Will wear black tights but it's too warm. I love the idea of a jumpsuit.

I would prefer tee shirt length sleeves so I'm more covered. I have some doc marten style sandals and thinking a jumpsuit and maybe a blue denim jacket?

Will do my hair wavy, want to looo better than every day but not too " done "?!

I looked on asos and it's so hard to find the right jumpsuit. I tend to go for black but wouldn't mind a pattern.

I do like the leopard dress but it would be better for me in winter, I'm not too sure of myself in skirts, it feels too ladylike and I don't feel that feminine if that makes sense!

@Stylemebetter oooh a jumpsuit, denim jacket and doc sandals would look lovely actually!

I know these are black & white but they're very flattering. X

@MyGrassIsBrowner , oh I love the look of that one! I'm popping that in my basket! Thanks so much.

It also reminded me I have this one from Oasis, I bought it in the sale but couldn't fasten it a few months ago but now fit into a tailored 14 with a zip ( just!). I would need to lose a few more pounds to want to go out in it though.

Any other jumpsuit ideas would be much appreciated 😊

I forgot the photos!

I know it's too tight but at least it gives me an idea. This is the kind of shape I like. Don't like vest straps.

@Stylemebetter Aww no pic has come up hun!
I wanna see pics of the jumpsuit when you get it! 😁 nothing like getting a new outfit! Congratulations on the weight loss by the way! X

@Stylemebetter also, if you're not hugely keen on strappy jumpsuits you can always put a white fitted tee underneath them! I dont show my arms much but love jumpsuits so I generally have a few fitted tees in different colours to wear under them x

Other Stories are good for jumpsuits eg this one www.asos.com/prd/22233520?acquisitionsource=pasteboard

Also Monki is worth a look - their sizing is generous.

I would definitely wear the black one with a denim jacket and sandals

This Monki one is nice and a bargain in the sale www.asos.com/prd/22952099?acquisitionsource=pasteboard

Well done on your weight loss.

I'm hoping that by commenting on your thread it'll be catching...

Fantastic , well done on the weight loss
I wish it was catching ! 😂

I think that jumpsuit looks great on you

Thank you wise women of Mumsnet! I now have 3 jumpsuits and got this one from Asos based on your recommendations! Feel really good in them 😊

That looks lovely @Stylemebetter. Well done on your weight loss and enjoy the new wardrobe.

You look beautiful!

You look amazing, well done on your weight loss!
