Can you clever lot help me work out what to wear please?
I have changed shape as I've got older and have no idea what suits me any more. When I was young I was a skinny minny but I have expanded over the last few years and I don't know how to dress myself. I usually pick clothes that would have suited me previously and end up feeling really depressed when they cling in all the wrong places.
I'm mid-50s, 5 foot 5, size 12-14 - and my middle is the biggest issue - I think I would be described as an apple. My arms and legs are ok. I would like to shift some weight but am on tamoxifen and menopausal, and nothing I do seems to be helping so I'd like to refresh my wardrobe and have a few smarter, more stylish options than the current jeans (with stretchy waistband) and baggy tops that I live in.
I am quite pale, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and suit pinks, greens, light blues, cream and brown/burgundy.
My budget is more high street than high end. I like the look of wide leg trousers but I feel they'd make me look enormous.
Please help me get started.
