Hi, wondering if anyone fancies helping me pick out some new clothes?

Ideally from Vinted!

I'm 5'4, always used to be a 14 but now easily a 16. Big bum and boobs (which i like and don't mind showing off), used to have a waistline but that's hiding. Hair getting more and more grey, greeny hazel eyes, very pale Irish skin.

I work in tech, so no dress code but want to have a few options to meet clients so smart casual. Most people are in their 20/early 30s, I'm early 40s.

Things that look good on me - wrap/tunic dresses and (high heeled boots)
Wide leg trousers
Long or 3/4 length sleeves
Slash necks
Scarves

Things i wish looked good on me -
Jeans (can't find wider leg ones that look smart ish and straight/skinny leg don't really look good)
Shirts (always think i look frumpy)
Tight tops.

Things I'm not keen on
V necks
The current calf length billowy dresses

Also generally no clue about fashion. Layer ideas would be great.

Oh, and I really don't want thin plastic materials. The better quality the better. I go for Vinted for sustainability reasons

Grateful for any links for outfits I could put together!

@HBGKC
I bought these two recently ( I have to wear a higher neck for other reasons)

The pastel lime one (not a colour I've worn before but it's bang on "my colours) and it's a good length on me.

The blue one, sold originally as cropped but won't be on me, arrives today!

Just thought I'd share some of my Vinted finds. Feeling quite girly... Shoe suggestions appreciated!

I'm an ex hourglass. I recently stumbled on a way to bring the appearance bach. When dressing I caught my t shirt in my waistband on one side and my waist that side looked thinner. I tried both sides and it brought back the appearance of a waistline. You only need a tiny bit, it doesn't work with stripes though.

you look amazing @Helpmedress3!

late to the party sorry, i spotted your initial photo and was going to say an easy start is shoes!
the sporty blue runners with the tailored top tends to make the whole look a bit more messy.
okay that being said shoes, you're young and maybe something like this would be a good addition to your wardrobe.
