"Are you over 40, feeling meh and still stuck in leggings?" Clo wrote over the top Read more Style stories "Watch Lesley ditch her leggings and get her confidence back!" Lesley admitted she was "so stuck in the mindset of the leggings" that she just stuck them on in the morning before the school run. But when Clo started to show her some other wardrobe options, she began to realise that she would be a lot more confident wearing something else. And as an added bonus, Lesley already had all the clothes she needed in her wardrobe. Most read in Fabulous In the first outfit, she wore a pair of wide-legged black trousers and white slogan T-shirt, as she said: "I feel great. I feel very comfortable. "It's actually nice to be out of the leggings!" My favourite outfit has been labelled 'frumpy & ageing' by cruel fashionistas, but screw them… I'll be buried wearing it "So what would stop you in the morning from not wearing this to drop the kids off or go to work in?" Clo asked Lesley. "Look how happy Lesley was by just getting out of those leggings and putting on a plain pair of black wide leg pants that she bought in Tesco," she added. "Look at the difference they make for her confidence!" "The beauty of this is not only did Lesley not spend a penny, but her confidence has been elevated through the roof and she now understands how easy it is to put fab outfits together and how easy it is to mix and match her stuff," Clo added in the description for the YouTube video. People were quick to comment on the video, with many agreeing with Clo's fashion analysis. "I refuse to have leggings, tracksuits, baggy tops in my wardrobe," one wrote.

GET A BRA FIT : Underwear is the foundation to every single outfit, so make sure your bra is the correct fit. If you're off to a good start you'll finish with a great outfits. EMBRACE COLOUR : Bright colours will lift your skin tone and will give you glowing skin. INVEST IN GOOD BASICS : You'll need your essentials like a good pair of straight leg jeans, white shirt, white t-shirt, black blazer and well made black shoe. You can't go wrong with rotating them when you don't know what to wear. AVOID SHAPELESS : Hiding your figure under shapeless silhouettes is doing to date you and make you look frumpy. Try fitted clothes that aren't figure hugging - you need to be able to breathe. EXPERIMENT : Try different items you wouldn't usually go for and mix them with what you already have. The results can mean a better dressed and more confident you. "I love to wear nice clothes daily - and it's cheaper than people think." "Yes!!!" another said.

You think that you're taking a step forward but people are so quickly to turn and judge about female bodies and being over sexual, but then people say if you're not sexual enough then they judge you as well, it's like women sometimes just can't get it right and it's hard. "People are always going to say something, but I think that she is absolutely, I'm obsessed with that girl, so I think go for it girl." She even turns her dating past into hilarious comedy songs on her other podcast Ki & Dee.

"I'm super creative and I need someone to connect with and understand me. "I think some people have been a bit overwhelmed by things before, about how fast paced things go with me." A creative powerhouse, Diana scored a number one in 2009 with both her debut single, Once, and album, Songs from The Tainted Cherry Tree. Her follow up LP, Music to Make Boys Cry, charted at 37.

"I've said I'll always make a comeback for the gays and the girlies, I have a really big gay following and this year I headlined Edinburgh Pride .
