I had a major wobble last year about turning 40, I suddenly felt fat and frumpy and old and decided to change everything about myself.
So, I cut and bleached my hair, lost 5 stone and bought new clothes in a younger edgier style that I have never worn before. I really want to look and feel young and hip and a bit sort of rock-chick.
Everyone is complimenting me on my new look and I do like what I see in the mirror too, but after a few months of the new me I feel like a fraud, like I am playing at dressing up but the real me is actually still a Primark leggings and t-shirt girl with scraped back mousy hair.
I don't want to give up and go back to dowdy mumsy clothes because I don't think that is me, but then this doesn't feel like me either. Has anyone managed a complete overhaul?
