I was a 6 throughout my teens and twenties and never had to think about 'size' .. but after 30 years of Chrohns and steroids I rose to a 23.. but have now got that down to about a size 16...
....now 58. I am 168cm and 96kg.. I am a 16 possibly 14 except for my 'skin pouch' which is a conglomeration of skin and residual fat just south of my belly button .. so to get anything 'fitted' it needs to be an 18 around the middle .. but then is too baggy elsewhere..
I need help from you amazing ladies who seem to know everything about clothes..
I am about to retire and have a lump sum .. so money is both not an issue but I also need money to live .
Can you suggest a capsule wardrobe.. ? I work in a high profile police environment within organised crime .. so lots of meetings both real and virtual .. however, with semi retirement coming up I want some decent casual clothes .
If I suggest a budget of £1k can you suggest anything ?
I like (but don't know if they suit me ..
dresses
Tunic tops (big hate 'leggings'
Wide leg trousers
Skirts (long)
Absolutely adore slouchy sweaters but can't find any ..
I am also willing to spend time with a personal shopper if you have recommendations..
Please help 🙏
