Affordable fashion in your 40s

[CornishGem1975]

I'd like to try and be a bit more 'put together' this year and also just liven up my wardrobe a bit, however, the budget is limited.

Where do you shop for affordable bits? I'm not just talking about things like jeans, or plain staples but nice dresses, skirts, tops etc things that are fun and vibrant.

Any hidden gems? Good websites?

I have been a Charli customer for a while... the knits are super cosy and I have a few of their cheaper options and a couple of cashmere pieces which have come in handy over the last couple of weeks whilst it has been freezing!

Am trying for baby number 2 and the oversize knits will get me through the first 5/6 months easily with leggings. This sweater has really worked out...

I was at a similar place and I had an analysis by a stylist who does affordable fashion. Primark ect and she really gave me a lot of confidence to see what worked for me and what would suit and then I found it easier

I've has,a couple of nice things from Na-Kd my joggers have 4 pockets yes 4, 2 in the side seam and 2 on the bum. I also have a maxi tube skirt. Both seem good quality.
