My body has totally changed shape in my forties and I guess with menopausal changes, but I don't know what to wear anymore.
I am relatively tall 5'8'' with broad shoulders but was always quite shapely slim with small chest and waist. But now I have a round tummy and big boobs and bum! I look quite matronly I guess - like the prow of a ship. All the solutions for disguising tummies (empire line dresses, trapeze dresses, tunics, anything oversized from Cos) look so frumpy or really don't work because my shoulders are broad and I end up looking like a not like a badly upholstered overstuffed armchair. Elasticated waist trousers and skirts cut me at exactly the wrong point and every top I try looks boxy.
I know I am never going to be slim in the same way again and I want to love this bigger self, but part of that is looking stylish for me. I like simple shapes like Cos and Eileen Fisher, white shirts and linen, but none of it works anymore. Any suggestions for outfits/shops/style blogs most welcome....
