I (f 52) don’t think I’ve bought myself anything new to wear in about a year.

Times have been hard.

But I have a little extra right now and I’d like to buy some summer outfits and generally useful items of clothing.

I’m not what you’d call a girly girl and have never spent a lot on myself.

I have three sons and tbh I dress like them most of the time! Just hoodies and jeans or loose 3/4 trousers. And I live in my vans. I do have heels 👠 but love my vans

I used to dress up more, but life, divorce, life, kids, life, partners… they all take it out of you a bit, you know? And so here I am, scrolling various shopping sites realising that I have no clue what my measurements are? (nor do I really want to know) what would suit me? What do I even LIKE?!

Anyway

I digress

All I need from you fine folk is some recommendations of good clothing sites ?

If you please 🙏

My (52 f) best mate from the 90s died on Wednesday.
We weren’t close the last few years but she was like a sister to me at one point.
We were both single mums in the 90s and supported each other through all you could imagine.
My ex fiancé from the same time (M53) has been diagnosed with brain atrophy this year and can no longer live alone.

I’m really struggling to come to terms with it.

It’s been a week and I’m still randomly crying

Other stuff has happened during this time but I don’t want to ‘trauma dump’

I guess I just want a cuddle and some empathy?

Maybe some wine also

Also, I realise that I’m the blessed one still healthy and alive

I’m just struggling rn

Post edit: you’ve already made me cry with your warmth xx
