I want to be glamorous!

I have definitely let myself go in the name of comfort but I need to claw this back. Please can anyone suggest a few things that will help without spending a fortune?

I broke my foot so can no longer wear heels which definitely isn't helping.

Can you suggest any glamorous flat shoes?

Thank you!

@Velvetpow you sound absolutely stunning!

Your style sounds like the epitome of glamour to me.

And always perfume! And although no gel nails, I rub oil and cream into my hands/nails and feet every night.

Ah, thank you @Cocktopus - that is really lovely of you to say 😊

Its also about how you carry yourself. Slow, confident moves not manic dashing about. Speaking clearly and calmly

@Velvetpow I think you've just described glamour! I agree excellent fabrics make a difference but the key is to also carry it through by making brave choices and doing a whole 'look' which sounds like you do. Keep being fabulous!

velvet you sound very glamorous indeed! I watched the Emily Mortimer’s 2021 3 part version of Love in a Cold Climate last night and the transformation of Linda from English country rose to dressed by Parisian clothes shops: and couturiers for the approval and admiration of her lover Fabrice is an object lesson in glamour (for the 1930s). Especially as she revels in the clothes themselves (and not just in Fabrice’s approval)!

Thank you @spuddel and @mm47 😊(will have to take a peek at that - I think I read the book many moons ago but never watched it, sounds fab)

“Velvet” it’s a perfect antidote to all this bloody rain!
