Thread: Little help please....

I've had a bit of a rough time these last few months (both my dogs had to be put down, I became very ill, then had a lot of side effects to the medication.... don't wanna go into all of it but there's been a lot of stuff going on!)

I've just been really miserable these last few months and now that everything is starting to pick up, I feel like I could maybe do something myself to help look at things/me differently.

I'm not feeling particularly confident and I'm looking to get some sort of style tips or something! I don't really know.

I think I just want to try something new and don't really know where to start.

I think I don't feel like I've got any kind of "style" as such - I just kind of stick to skinny jeans most of the time. If going out I do love dresses but I don't go out very often.

It feels a bit weird not even knowing what sort of style I want. I've been looking for some new clothes lately but I don't have a lot to spend so want to get it right straight away - but I just don't know what to get.

Maybe a pro stylist is the only way to help me, but as I haven't got a lot of £ I thought maybe I'd just try advice from the public first?!


Ok so here's what I'm like:

I'm short at 5'2"
Skinny, UK 6 but sometimes 8 depending on the shop!
Fluffy big curly hair - used to be major blonde but think it's going more of a mousey colour now
Very pale skin

Few pics:
Please excuse how miserable I look!!

So.... bit of a long shot, but does anyone have any sort of idea as to what I can do to feel a bit refreshed and maybe create a different look?

I like all sorts and in a way this is a problem... I like dark rocky stuff, boho style and light coloured fluffy things!! I have a bit of a personality mix!

So yeah I'd like to do something a bit new but not sure what direction to go in or what suits me best. Open to ideas!

Hope someone can help!

No-one have any ideas?

Maybe no one has responded b/c you're beautiful just the way you are!

This kind seems like a "singles ad" - or a "waaa.... I'm pretty, and I don't realize it, so affirm it for me" rant. You're fine just the way you are. If you don't see it, seek counseling.

No not at all - I'm just looking at re-doing a lot of things and one of them is my wardrobe. Feeling bored with what I've got but just not sure what else to do either. Was hoping someone might have some suggestions or ideas of what I could do in types of clothes to look at/certain colours...anything really. Never particularly cared for fashion before so I don't really know what goes with what or anything. Been hoping someone with good fashion sense could give me some ideas but I guess I've not been lucky. Ah well.
