I'm feeling a bit bored with my wardrobe so would love some other peoples views on what i should be wearing.

I'm 5ft, size 12 with 32E boobs.

I'm not scared of colour and like to look a bit different from everyone else.

There are photos of me on the profile (my hair is red again) and my face looks squashed in the final photo-not really like this in real life(honestly).

Any input would be great.

I must be a lost cause.

You look lovely! You are the same size as me (but I am 5'2 - same size boobage though).

I like flippy, just under knee length skirts with fitted-ish tops - I usually wear the colour in the skirt and then a plain top, to draw less attention to the norkage. I wear them with DM Mary Janes or Fly wedges, or flip flops in summer or boots in winter. Shops that fit me well are:

Next Petite for trousers - but I hate most of the stuff in Next;
Gap for jeans;
M&S Ltd Collection;
Principles petite for trousers.

If you like colour, you might find some nice stuff in Utam or Urban Outfitters.

I get my skirts in Boden, M&S Ltd Collection or little independent shops.

Define "cool pumps" please Cod - clearly there is a gap in my wardrobe!

Yup - have ballet flats and flip flops. I thought "pumps" was something else!

Off to look at principles - I used to like it then it went all weird, so not been in for ages.

They are all great ideas.
Thank you for the input and links.
I love the kaftans and will definitely go to Principles.
I have a few skirts like you have suggested and wear them with pumps or wedges (what are fly wedges?).
Its so nice to pinch other peoples ideas,keep them going please.....

twinsetandpearls · 18/05/2008 12:10

I can't believe the price of theose shoes hoxtonchick.

nobodysfool · 18/05/2008 12:14

Thankyou.
I have just had it cut a bit shorter though just as red!
Thinking of going choc brown with electric blue slices through it.
Those fly shoes are spot on for me but a bit pricey.....will have to start saving.
