I’ve had the year from hell - my husband died very unexpectedly six months ago, the admin is never ending and draining and to top it all I had a freak accident last week at the end of what was supposed to be a ‘cheering myself up’ riding holiday and am now recovering from a traumatic brain injury. Due to the stress of everything I’ve lost shedloads of weight and I wasn’t overweight to start with. I’m 5’7”, not sure exactly what I weigh but it can’t be more than about 55/6 kg. I used to be a ‘small’ 12 ie if there was a 10-12 option I’d take that but today I got a pair of jeans out of my wardrobe (12) and they were so ridiculously big that even with a belt cinched in as far as it would go they were unwearable.
So I’ve decided that when I’m well enough to go shopping I need to get a new wardrobe that fits and will cheer me up. I mostly wfh and live in the countryside but go into the office once a month or so. I’m 60, normally very active, don’t like restrictive clothes, mostly wear trousers as they’re more practical with dogs etc. I’m fair-skinned, grey eyes, have greying fair hair and my favourite colours are blues and greens - teal and duck egg blue.
If you’ve made it this far I’d love some style tips/ recommendations of brands to look at. Budget is more than primark and less than designer - thank you ☺️
