Need new clothes...and help finding something that would suit me

    Hi fashionistas!

    I hate shopping (sorry!!), particularly since I just don't know what is in and I buy the same things over and over. I'm bored with my wardrobe of jeans and plain cotton tops and t-shirts and would love some hints from you guys.

    For work I need to look very professional and classical. I am also a mum and so I need to be very very comfortable and not worry about getting dirty the rest of the time. I also cycle.

    The skinniest part of me is just under the bust and my calves. My thighs are the biggest thing! I am also not very broad in the shoulders. I find that there seems to be a lot of tunic style tops which make my thighs and bum look big and me look very short.

    Any advice or websites that give advice on body shapes and so on??? Thanks

    You could go for dark skinny jeans (you may need to fit on loads) with a top any longish cardi over. This can either be a very casual look or a little more glam (suitable of pub etc). As for work nice skirt, trousers with a nice shirt.

    It is very hard to advise when I don't know you, your age etc. Some shops provide personal shoppers. They might be worth a try.

    Thanks for the reply mood!

    I'm a "young" 35. I guess I always think that skinny jeans would extentuate the big thighs, skinny calves combination, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try.

    Anyway I'm in London soon so maybe I'll get a personal shopper in one of the big shops if I've time.
