Size 14, big tummy, help

[getoutof]

So I am bigger than I've ever been and decided to do something about it. Trying to take control of my eating but in the meantime I really want to look normal. I'm hiding away at home as I have nothing to wear and no idea what to buy. Can any size 14 ladies give me an idea of what you wear to do school run/ meal out? Photos would be amazing. I've been living in jeans (one pair fit) and a hoodie. Need some confidence again. Thanks all!!

How tall are you? What are your legs like? I'm 5 8 size 14 with a tummy. I'm in my 50s look younger. I like tunics and leggings for casual. I have a long torso. Also like jeans with longish top. Nice blouse.

Im 5 6, not bad legs, thighs a bit heavy but feel quite good in dresses with tights. It's my tummy really that is embarrassing.

Do you know why it's big?

Same here! Two c-sections, big tum that's out of proportion with the rest of me.

What I like: dress (to knee or long) with nipped short cardi that gives a sense of shape. A-line skirt with a 'french tuck' top. I actually have not found any jeans that make me feel good but always looking. Good quality tights that make me feel zipped in if you know what I mean.

I would also suggest looking at instagram stylists to get ideas. First suggestion: Emily Innes Stylist who I would guess is size 16 or 18. Another Emily (Emily Jane Johnston), also around 16/18, is more high-end fashion, but has lots of outfit ideas that show a range of styles and prices (from mid to expensive, not really cheap/low end).
