Upgrading from shopping at supermarkets?

[bellastella]

My clothes budget has always been charity shops and supermarkets. If I've ever had a fancy item, it's come from a charity shop.
Due to weight loss over this year, none of last years autumn/winter clothes fit anymore.
I'm late 40s, 5ft6 and 9st8. Bra size 34C (measure 32 but can't manage the tightness), waist 28, hips 38 with very wibbly arms & legs and flat bum as I'm not at all toned!
I have a smart casual office job and need work outfits. I'm a cold person and like being covered up. Happy in dresses and tights but not sure which shoes/boots. Happy in separates too. Due to wibbly bod, kind of prefer tighter outfits as it holds me together.
I'm having a weird time not being able to find anything I like in my usual places. I could probably afford to spend more but don't know where anymore.
Oh and I have silver hair now so colours that look nicer are pink, purple, aqua, raspberry, blues etc. These colours are not appearing in the autumn ranges!
Any suggestions of where to look would be appreciated :)

How about looking for some pieces on vinted to experiment with your new shape? Maybe next / m&s / John Lewis brands / seasalt / fat face / Joanie / Oliver bonas / Hobbs might have pieces that would work?

I’ve also lost a considerable amount of weight and found vinted a good way of making some experimental choices that would be expensive to do otherwise!

I definitely could give Vinted a go. I'll have a look, thanks.
It's always tricky when you can't feel things... I guess I'll have to pull myself together and go shopping in a city. Tge clothes will not magically come to me!

You could book a personal stylist session in a large John Lewis if they still offer that service? Might help with shapes and brands.
