I think my lack of style is aging me

[totalmisfit]

I'm 26 but feel and look about 10 years older most days. I think besides the lack of sleep and the stress of looking after a toddler it's my lack of any sense of style that's aging me. I just seem to end up wearing the same old things: jeans, jumpers from Matalan etc and i feel like my mum!

would be v grateful for any tips on what to buy/ where to shop. just looking through the Boden catalogue and i was thinking 'would this make the problem worse or better?' see -i really am clueless!

if it helps i'm 5 ft 1, slim-ish size 10-12 but with a baby belly which just won't shift despite running and situps etc... boobs have shrunk from 34c (DD when breastfeeding) to barely 34b, so not great

at large G&T looking so good with 6 kids....

Thanks Grapefruit Tis the gin pickling me from the inside out

lol i have black boots but wear them with balck jeans is that acceptable

and how can you be too old to shop anywhere if you are 26?

i agree enjoy it you will regret it if you dont

and forget boden...that is for old frumps surely

actually im not sure who its for

I've just realised I should never have gone on this thread as I'm old enough to be the OP's mother (just )!

I think there are some lovely things here at the mo.

oops meant here

lol

I hate any heeled boots with jeans - unless the jeans touch the ground then I'd let you off.

Get some nice wide legged wool pants, shirt, tank top and some cream or white converse.

Thanks for that link pippo- looks like really nice stuff (especially menswear) for a great price.

Have you ordered from them before?

I haven't - one of my friends has ordered quite a bit from them before and said that the quality is reasonable. I seem to remember soemone on here saying that the tops were snug and bottoms were generous. Hoepfully I'll get to find out soon!

I've had some stuff from there and would definitely agree that the tops come up small. Also pootleflump I think you are agreeing with me re the length of jeans. I think long jeans and heels are the best look, unless it is raining, and then skinny jeans tucked in work well. I only have 1 pair of skinnys - cheap ones from Asda.
