Need help with new wardrobe and going out outfit

I have been living in my old clothes for some time now but they do not fit me after losing some weight so I have had a big cull. Problem is I am not left with much.

I don’t have an issue with work clothes I tend to get bits from Tesco, new look or H&M but they don’t look right worn on weekends or out in an evening. My work shoes are some fugly chunky brogues. I just tend to wear some kind of black shift dress and tights or black work trousers with a fitted long sleeved cotton top in winter and in summer I wear dresses with bare legs and sandals.

I don’t really like wearing heels and mostly own trainers. I have more gym clothes than anything else. On a weekend I will just wear gym leggings and a top or jeans and a T-shirt or body suit. I have flat sandals but it’s now too cold for them.

Most of what I own is black or white.

I’m going out for a nice meal tomorrow and no idea what to wear. I have the extreme of a very tight black body con lipsy dress (£4 in charity shop) but no shoes to wear with it, or black skinny or straight leg jeans with a long sleeved body suit - but no shoes that go with that either. I do have some tailored high waisted trousers that might look ok with a black crop top but I don’t know if this is smart enough..or what shoes.

I feel like maybe some good boots are what I need? I have M&S and Next vouchers I could spend so I went to M&S and everything looked like an orthopaedic moon boot, or was pointy (I have wide feet). I’ve exhausted all the local charity shops and no good finds there recently either.

I am 40yo, 5’5, size 10 with 6.5 feet. I have a flat bum, sturdy legs and big feet but I do have some boobs and small waist. What would even suit me? Help!
