You never think it'll happen to you (light hearted)

In my 20s I remember seeing Trinny & Susannah and that 10 Years Younger lady consoling and cajoling sad old women in their 40s (ha!!!!) because they'd lost their way and didn't know what to wear anymore. I thought 'Ooh that'll never happen to me, I know what I like, I know my body shape, I'LL NEVER BECOME LIKE HER!' Grin Fast foward 20 years and I'm exactly that woman. My shape has changed, i have boobs and a belly (which I've come to love) but am completely stuck in a tshirt/jumper and skinny jeans and DMs rut. I don't even bother jazzing shit up anymore with a blouse. In my head I want to be ethereal and boho with long floaty floral dresses (maybe DMs still but some other type of boot or sandal - NOT TRAINERS 😂 ) and just be effortlessly glowing and sensuous at all times. WinkWhere can I find this for a size 14/16 5 foot 7 pear shape that can't afford over £50 for a dress? I'm a charity shop regular bit can't find anything right. I just wanna donate all my old stuff and start all over again! Blush Please give me all your etheral / boho shop suggestions even if they're abit pricey because I'll be sure to check out cpupon codes and sales etc. Grin

Basically, I could have written this, OP!
I like Toast, but bought second hand from EBAY. Their dresses can be voluminous so you can size down. Skirts more true to size. I haven't bought trousers as I have big hips and find well fitting trousers very hard to find.
I also find Seasalt dresses can be quite flattering.
I pair up with opaque tights, Chelsea boots and a second hand cashmere cardi or jumper .
