I have got myself into a total mess w clothes. I've never been clothesy, and have always tended towards a 'uniform' of sorts, but things have got out of hand, and I now have almost nothing that fits/isn't in rags. The jeans I have on now have two huge inner thigh cycling holes, for eg, but are still my 'best' jeans.
Shopping for clothes makes me sad, not happy. I don't tend to like what I see in the mirror, or to like what I see on hangers. We have a big household income, but I've never earned a lot myself, and prices frighten me.
Anyway, I MUST get myself together, and I just don't know where to start. I feel so discouraged now, and looking for things makes me even more discouraged. I was going to go into town today and go shopping, but I can't face it - I can't even go into shops, looking as I do now...
Imagine you were starting from scratch w me: what would you do, where would you go, what would you look for? (I seriously AM starting from scratch, btw - I'm down to a single bra, as well as my disastrous jeans; I wear the kids' socks etc. etc.)
I'm 49, 5.9. about 10.5 stone, but I have a small frame and small boobs, so am a bit soft and bulgy in places. Blue eyes, grey-blonde hair. Comfort always comes first, and washability. I WFH, so no need for work clothes, but my going out clothes crisis is just as severe as my everyday clothes crisis. Own no handbags, never habitually wear jewellery. No make up.
heeeeelppppp...
or, where do I find help???
