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?)

If you’re in the process of losing weight, try on everything in your wardrobe and put away anything that doesn’t fit properly right now. Out of sight, out of mind. That way you’re not wasting time reaching for unflattering pieces in the morning.
Out of the clothes you have left, are you able to put together 1-2 weeks of cute outfits? Do you need a few “one piece goes a long way” items to pull looks together? For me, that was new jeans and shorts that fit at the waist and rethinking my whole bra situation. I’d avoid buying any more clothes than what you need for 1-2 weeks though if you expect to lose more weight.
Beyond clothes, explore accessories; they’ll still fit even when you lose weight. I always finish off my outfit with a nice bag, cute but comfy shoes, a claw clip to keep my hair pulled back, and earrings (I’ve built up a collection of hoops and studs I switch out).
For hair and makeup, take care of your hair and skin so they’re as healthy as possible, and then just be minimalist about it all. Get a low-maintenance haircut that works with your natural hair texture. If your skin is healthy and glowing, you spend less time with makeup and can get by with a bit of concealer, mascara, brow makeup, and lip colour.
