Find me some casual clothes!!!

[andyrobo237]

I badly need a re-style! I can do summer well, but struggle with this time of year (well October to May time!!)

My standard dress consists of jeans and a top - normal Next jeans. Either dark blue / black or slightly darker than normal denim. They are boot cut petite ones. I tend to wear wedge heel boots or sketcher trainers.

So I am 5ft 2 and a 16 curvy figure with a big bum and a chest!! I am not comfortable in tight fitting clothes, but try not to wear baggy clothes as they make you look bigger! I do not like low cut also!!

Can you find me a style that may suit.....

I have a budget of £200 to get a few tops and bottoms. I am nearly 40 but dont want to dress like my Mum!!!

I need a personal shopper but havent got the time!!!

Hi
Trinny and Susannah hava a good book called"The Body Shape Bible" (also their what not to wear books are good). That might be a good place to get ideas. If I was you I would have a look in Monsoon, M&S Autograph, Zara (altho bottoms might be bit long for you there), and good ol' fave Next. If you've got a small waist then make the most of it and wear a thick belt around it over a longish top. One of my fave (and comfy things to wear is stretchy comfy black leggings, an over the bum jersey or cardy (with or without belt) and knee high boots (mine are flat, but if you can manage heels all the better!)
Also, don't skimp on accessories - a nice chunky bangle or necklace can make all the difference to an otherwise plain outfit.
Hope that helps!
PS I used to work for Next and if you ask one of the staff for advice, they should be trained to help you.
