hi there,

im after some advice!

after many years of hating my figure and never going clothes shopping because of this, i have had my boobs done :) i am now REALLY happy, and finally feel normal, but i have no idea how to dress now!

i can finally move away from all my boring round-neck t-shirts that i always wore as i couldnt wear anything v-neck, cross over style, or low, but my mind is set in 'i cant wear that' mode!

i'm also looking to start dating after being single for a while, so want to buy some flattering clothes that are a bit more sexy and not my usual casual style (need to get away from student mode of jeans and hoodies!), but dont want to look like a tart!

 

any help very much appreciated

Welcome to the board.

thankyou for your welcome.

im 5 foot 6, size 10-12, i think i have big hips but i've been told otherwise lol. i have quite muscley legs from gym going so skinny jeans arent a good idea. im not a huge fan of my stomach but hey ho. my style is quite casual but im hopeing to change that a bit :)

im quiet pale (but yellow toned skin not pink toned) with brown-blonde hair and wear a lot of blue/green/purple but want to incorporate more colours into my wardrobe.

 

hope that helps

oh yes - and my new additions are a 34C lol

You sound like you have a lovely figure!

Do you work in an office or where you need to dress smart?

Well check out these fab workwear on asos. You can go for a lovely tailored wide leg trousers, which can also be worn out with some fab heels & a sparkly top:

This dress will be great for you as you don't like your hips, it will hide a multitude, yet look fab!

You are probably better off staying away from skinny jeans (they don't suit a lot of people!), however you can still go with a slim leg pair and team with heels, or go for a nice bootcut pair.

for tops, you sound like you incorporate good colours already!
Do you want to go for more cleavage now that you have it!?

Here's a nice top you could wear with some slim bootleg jeans or leggings if you feel ok about wearing them teamed with a nice pair of heels which will lenghten the appearance of your legs:

Hope these ideas have helped.

You should also pop onto the Gok Wan website for his tips on how to dress for your shape:

Let me know what you think!
