I’ve worn similar to that this week, the wine style with the jumper. . I’m still not completely happy with the trousers as a bit too wide for me. But you are taller so should suit you better.

I have them in black. I’ve worn them with a patterned black with blue and green flowers blouse style top (no buttons as big busted so can’t wear buttons) and a khaki green pointelle jumper over. I already had top and jumper as I mix a few new bits with stuff I already own.

I didn’t feel spectacular in the outfit but was smart enough, just had my hair in ponytail no makeup. (Other days I’m in loungers or leggings, tshirt and hoodies).

Similar to the jumper I own, I have it relaxed look so bigger than I need so not tight on my bust. https://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1301246003.html?srsltid=AYCX9vL1NNYFq9znN_nRoFt8xA_dQtqDLv4_ys2VxOVwyiIcskH4DKkM

You really don’t look like a size 18. Are you sure? If have guessed a 14. Is it worth trying clothes a little smaller / tighter.
I am a lot younger but actually think your shoes are on trend and your trousers are ok too. Axe the baggy jumpers and let your figure show. Highlights, nails done, bit of make up (maybe bit of Botox / filler if you fancy it) will make a whole world of difference. Also getting eyebrows done if gappy have them micro bladed into a good shape.

And I think this is the jumper you are wearing which in reality is an ok jumper, I think it’s how you are standing which has made people think it’s not so nice. If you click on each colour you will see the different style trousers they have dressed thr models in. One of the different styles might suit you better with the jumper you already own. I try to make the most of what I have by buying different things to mix in with my clothes for different looks.

I have read this so often on MN I did it the other day, only for DH to helpfully point out that my top was half stuck in my waistband. Clearly not pulling off the effortless French tuck chic I was aiming for…

Get yourself down to Dunnes and try for a bit more of a current look. See attached . Some cardigans or crew necks or v necks worn with a white t shirt underneath for a bit of warmth if you need it. How about a coord set for when at home?

What's a 'free P pastor's wife'?

🤣 it makes me look ten times worse, I don’t tuck anything in.

I loved doing this, I would highly recommend. I was on the right track colour wise but there were a few I have now started wearing and some I have binned. It really helped with ny make up/hair colour also.

I also agree with the poster whi suggested putting your photo into chat gpt. That will help with some ideas.

I think your figure looks good, but I do agree with most others, even my 70 yo mum wouldn't wear it.

Skin wise, I used skin and me for a while, it really worked for me, it is expensive so I asked AI for alternatives and I now use various products that do the same. Skin routine twice a day is a must IMO. Skin and me trial is cheap so may be worth doing for a couple of months.

I tend to go for jeans and fitted tops/jumpers, usually v neck. Dressing for your shape is vital, chat gpt can help with that also.

Free Presbyterian. Pastors look wives with traditional wives at home. So conservative.

Ah missed this re colours. Yeah soft summer is very different to the colours you're wearing, it honestly makes such a difference, my friend is an autumn and was very the opposite so has now changed colours and it has made a huge difference.

I use giorgio armani luminous silk foundation and powder, so much better than my previous mac stuff that is a lot thicker, I thought I was hiding more age by using it but using a lighter foundation and luminat8ng powder it looks so much better.

I actually dont mind the jumper but the trousers/shoes would be a no for me.

And you're definitely not a minger!!

Turning into your Grandmother and seemingly wearing your Grandfathers clothes. Come on you’re not a minger you’re fiftyish just get some better clothes.
