Saw myself on home security cameras- need help with fashion makeover

We’ve just put some new cameras up that look down our front path and driveway. I was reviewing the clips earlier and saw myself going out . I was dismayed at how frumpy I looked. My mum is staying for a few days, she’s 78, and I actually thought it was her first of all, and had to do a double take.
I’m mid fifties, size 14, 5 ft 6. My whole wardrobe is Seasalt or White Stuff. I’m rurally based and no longer work, so I don’t need work clothes, just a few outfits to go out for a meal etc.

please could I have your suggestions for some fashionable outfits or fashion brands that I might not have come across.
I’m getting my hair restyled this week, so I’m totally up for a rethink.

Dress I’m wearing today is made in Bangladesh, if that helps.

Ok Snippy Knickers. The point was Seasalt markets itself as Cornish and beachy but on further inspection is mass produced in China. Never mind.

Good Luck OP with your quest. Some great results already!

As regards shoes … If you’re not sure whether something you see is actually fashionable or not, it does no harm to cross check with what

Zara

is selling at any point. You don’t have to buy from them! But generally they have their finger on the pulse.

Two other places always worth compare and contrasting are

Grenson

and

Hereu Studio

who both, at different price points, make fabulously cool, fashionable, mostly flat footwear that never looks twee or ingratiatingly ladylike.

Shoes and bags crafted in Spain - Official Website

HEREU’s modern craftsmanship imagines a better future in which innovation and tradition, the local and the international exist together seamlessly, expressed through functional designs that embody a timeless tradition.
