Matalan is definitely a good option and Dorothy Perkins does some pretty good stuff. <br /><br />Oh and I still wear dresses with leggings, my legs will never be on show! <br /><br />XLinz Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15550977897988384626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833371807591724259.post-19928550929772922222013-02-05T13:38:41.965+00:002013-02-05T13:38:41.965+00:00I'm late to this party - but as I'm pretty...I'm late to this party - but as I'm pretty useless in the fashion stakes, it may not matter too much!<br /><br />But I agree with Beth - go and buy something you love NOW. And dress to your good points - you will feel sad in something you've bought because everyone is wearing it if you know deep-down that it doesn't suit you.<br /><br />PxPeridothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16325992771558910173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833371807591724259.post-24077484314617903232013-02-05T08:47:46.196+00:002013-02-05T08:47:46.196+00:00AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! (laugh meant in a Thank God i...AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! (laugh meant in a Thank God it's not only me) I totally understand! Nearly every weekend I go through the same thing. I don't want to buy clothes until I am down to 13 stone which is my mini goal.<br /><br />My first advice is don't look out at the street for guidance on what to wear... like you said there are alot of ppl out there that don't dress for their figure and look shizzer and you don't want to be them. <br /><br />I get my inspiration from Pinterest...if you look on Womens Fashion there are so many good looks that you can easily copy or will inspire you! (I am an worshiper of Pinterest for everything)<br /><br />For cheap but stylish clothes at the moment I swear by Matalan. Some of their stuff is not so good but then some of their stuff is AMAZING. The good thing is you can get items that suit you and fit you NOW without breaking the bank or feeling guilty when they get to big! <br /><br />Good luck and let me know how you get on!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05218834221916461416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833371807591724259.post-63355976567069859242013-02-04T22:54:15.627+00:002013-02-04T22:54:15.627+00:00I'm with S -- buy something pronto! (And prefe...I'm with S -- buy something pronto! (And preferably not a "it will look better when I lose half a stone" or a "it will do" but an "I love this now.")<br /><br />I also love ebay. And I'm about to try Rent the Runway here -- there's a similar UK site called girlmeetsdress.com. Won't be any good for tops, but you might find something fun to try...<br /><br />Beth xbethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14968904662154966681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833371807591724259.post-82250028269329281742013-02-04T21:11:11.350+00:002013-02-04T21:11:11.350+00:00one of the benefits of being in the 5th decade is ...one of the benefits of being in the 5th decade is that we know what suits and what doesn't. we know the best bits to emphasise and the 'challenging' areas to hide (sorry for the management speak). We do not need to follow every little fickle fashion update, rather can pick and choose the ones we want. I sometimes feel my style is same-y and therefore boring but, actually, it suits me and makes the most of my short stature and even more disproportionately short legs!<br /><br />Anyway, buy a nice new top to go with your dress-y trousers. Retail therapy is always a good diet motivator so 2 birds etc!!carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04287812346288056783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833371807591724259.post-86195088346502026352013-02-04T20:56:13.247+00:002013-02-04T20:56:13.247+00:00I feel your pain on both fronts!

I'd go for well-fitting jeans, heels and top - then bling it up to suit the event - and you can always stash the bling in your handbag if you're overdressed on the night!S;)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14075146141967757567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833371807591724259.post-22584353617069300102013-02-04T19:31:18.546+00:002013-02-04T19:31:18.546+00:00Get thee to the shops!

You don't have to spend loads but it is amazing what a confidence booster a new top or something can be.<br /><br />Having said that, I'm all about eBay at the moment - in fact it is reaching obsessional levels. So much lovely stuff and so many bargains to be had! <br /><br />SxSerenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08902775858327076421noreply@blogger.com
