Help me not look like shit.

[MoirasWigStand]

I'm 40, size 16, pear shaped, big hips and bum, but also wide shoulders. I'm not hourglass as my boobs aren't very big.

I've gained about 1.5 stone recently. It's down to illness leading to be having to suddenly stop exercising (I did a lot) and drinking more. I'm sorting that out, but in the mea time I feel like shit.

Nothing fits properly, I feel like a big beach ball. I'm suddenly aware of my stomach (wine, I think). I want to buy a few things to see me through losing a few pounds (if I can, I'm still medicated and unable to exercise at all).

Today I bough some big, baggy shirt/blouse things and they look awful. I've got some jeans that fit OK. Once it gets actually cold I've got a couple of dresses I can wear with tights. But it's still so bloody mild. 16°C in Yorkshire today!

I'm not a fashion person at all, I hate shopping, but what should I be looking for?

Well you have told us everything you hate about yourself… now tell us the boys you like!

What’s your colouring? Hair style? Who do you look at and think I like that look? (Preferably on google, not Jenny from the school run ).

😂 I don't know much about celebs either, but let me see. I dress casually, wfh and no dress code when at work. I wear either Dr Martens or converse. Jeans and t-shirt most days, but in autumn/winter I've always worn dresses, tights, boots. I have a couple of dungaree/pinafore dresses. I just tried one on and ripped a hole in it. 😞

Oh I'm a red head with pale skin and freckles. Below shoulder straight hair.
