Hello from a newbie

I'm plus size 40s and my go to is dress and tights/leggings with a chunky cardigan. I love a print dress (especially a floral or nature pattern), or I go plain dress with statement tights.
Popsy is my favourite for dresses and Snag for tights :)

I think a decent pair of wide calf fitting knee high boots is a good investment as it makes it easier to wear dresses. That instantly makes me feel smarter and more put together.

I've just bought some barrel jeans which I am pleased with (but they don't have a good reputation on MN). I think they work for my shape. I'm going to wear them with boat neck t shirts and merino sweaters.

I'm hunting for a good denim dress as I have lost weight and my old one no longer fits. I have found a nice denim maxi skirt though which may have to do.

@SharpSquid not sure if you’ve read many Style & Beauty threads yet? If you’d like suggestions or advice it helps posters if you give some information on your:

Clothes size
Height
Lifestyle
Budget

As well as some idea of how you currently dress and what your preferences are.

Do you need to buy a lot of clothes or are you only wanting a few things?

It’s a pity, this might have been an interesting thread if @SharpSquid had found her way back to it …
