Style overhaul needed - best resource recommendations?

After another "nothing to wear" grump in a wardrobe full of clothes, I need a style over haul. Nothing feels right!

I need help - but what help?

Anyone have a book/blog/stylist they can recommend?

I've been watching Trinny's YouTube programmes (I think I'm a similar fatter body shape - tall but with relatively short legs and a long body, pear shaped)

Pinterest.
Why not pick the items in your wardrobe that you like the best and find out how to build outfits around them. Chances are you’ll have the items already in your wardrobe.

I find YouTube or Insta have replaced the fashion magazines I used to read. I like Trinny, also Melissa Murrell (she has a great series on body shapes) and Lydia Jane Tomlinson (young but timeless and has really changed my eye) but there are loads out there, you just need to find some that suit you. Audrey Coyne is another one I look at sometimes.

If your wardrobe is full but you have nothing to wear it sounds to me like you might be missing those key basics that help make outfits out of the more interesting pieces. Try googling capsule wardrobes. I found it useful to analyse them and work out what I was missing, so that I had shoes, belts, coats, macs to go with the random stuff I had acquired.

Thank you @TheOGCCL - I'll look those people up

I was pondering getting Kat Farmers book - but reviews are 50/50 on whether it's worth it(I do like her Insta stories on fashion) but will it just be a rehash of What Not to Wear??

Can you stretch to a stylist coming and doing a wardrobe edit?
