I have £500 to buy new stuff with. This is very rare for me as I am a student and skint. I'd like to stay cheap-ish (so I can buy quite a few bits and make a real difference to my paltry 'wardrobe') but without buying complete throwaway garbage.

So needs to stretch to a few outfits for everyday wear, some boots or shoes, and some accessories at the very least.

I am 5'11, size 14, big-ish bust, slight belly, long slim legs. Fair skin, dark hair.

Any suggestions of where to start looking or for specific garments?

BIG THANKS

Should have said - my usual style is a bit Roxy from Eastenders-ish. Trying to be a bit younger/boho but usually ending up looking scruffy and a bit tarty

Jeggings - next's are the best
boyfriend jacket to take into sprin
Lots of casual t-shirts for layering - new look/dotty p's
Couple of dressy tops - nautical/bretton is very in - oasis have some lovely stuff in just now
A couple of pairs of decent jeans - topshop marthas/baxters
Couple of boyfriend cardies - new look/dotty p'd/h&m
Spring dress or two that can be worn over leggings/long sleeve t's just now then alone in summer

Few nice necklaces/chunky brecelets, and a scarf to accessorize.

Try and stick to a couple of colours so that you can mix and match - nudes and navy/red are in this season.

What type of shoe do you normally wear?

Perhaps make an appointment at somewhere like Debenhams with a personal shopper to get their reccomendations - you arent obliged to buy
