Over the course of the last few years I have gained a LOT of weight. I've put on maybe 4.5/5 stone. I'm now mid-30s and have no idea what suits me or what "look" I want to go for. I'm usually found in jeans hoodies and trainers and I'm definitely a casual person so, whilst I am looking for new ideas, I'd prefer to baby step out of my comfort zone than leap. I feel like I look slobby and like an overgrown teenager now

Im 5 foot 4 and very much an apple. No bum.medium boobs. All of my weight is carried in my stomach area so not much waist to speak of and I really dislike this part of my body. Legs and arms are still quite slim.

Budget is miniscule so will probably be taking advice and scoping out ebay/charity shops for actual clothes. My main wants are new weekend clothes and new work clothes (very laid back dress code, so I'm not needing full on formal workwear as it would look out of place, smart casual really!) I'm also utterly useless with style, so if you can recommend shoe ideas for the outfits I would be veeeery grateful.

Maybe even a capsule type wardrobe with shoes too. If anyone really likes getting into this type of thing that is. If not it's cool

Please help me to become a "grown up"!! Thank you 😊

Wrap dresses are universally quite flattering and easy to find on ebay.

This has really helped me understand what suits my body shape! theconceptwardrobe.com/build-a-wardrobe/apple-body-shape
