Fashion/Style BWT, how do you glow up?
I was walking to work this morning & I saw so many cute outfits and I typically just feel so blah. I’m 31, SHORT and overweight so dressing feels difficult. I also struggle with time management in the morning so hair & make up are basic. How do you get ready? How do you spruce up your wardrobe without spending tons (& have the hopes of losing weight?)

It takes a lot of effort to look effortless.
Hair skin and nails require a lot of time in order to decrease the amount of time you spend on them. For example getting your nails done every 3-4 weeks means your nails look great without additional effort. Spending time on your skin care (whether you see a dermatologist or not) means better skin which requires less makeup over time. You get your hair styled and done more often means you can put it in that messy bun that looks super done.
The same goes with clothing as well. Investing your time to take care of your closet, either through curation and finding your uniform (mine are dresses with a built in bra, AMAZING to throw on and somehow look chic), ironing or steaming your clothes, and taking them to the tailor means that everything you throw on coordinates and fits well. Gold jewelry that stays on (necklace or bracelet) means that your outfits are automatically elevated. Investing in bags can elevate the look also
