Well, I know how to physically put clothes on, obviously, but I have never had any idea of how to build a wardrobe, what suits me ect and Im hoping for some tips/ advice.
When I lived in the UK I was either in a uniform, office wear ( easy to follow a dress code) or jeans and a top. I now live in a hotter climate and live in shorts and vest tops. Some days I must look like a kids TV presenter. Ive done absolutely nothing with my greying hair for 6 months.
There are reasons for this - my DP's ran a business and from aged 11 I was basically left to get on with it without much guidance from them , then DM had a breakdown and was ill for years. This isn't about bashing them at all, as soon as mum recovered they were the most supportive parents/ grandparents, its just that I seem to have missed out on some basic skills in my early teens that Ive never got the hang of. I have a habit of self neglect / putting myself last if things is busy.
So after a bit of an intervention from my DD and DDIL Im trying to set myself up for sucess. Ive booked myself a cut and colour, plus booked a regrowth appt for 6 weeks later.
Im 52, fair complexion , blue eyes. Auburnish hair, now mainly grey but thats going to be sorted. Size 14-16 top and 16-18 bottom. Ive already gone through my clothes and got rid of anything that is not my size ( over 2/3 of what I had was too small) . I value comfort as I have back and hip pain .
Any suggestions where to start ?
Thanks in advance.
