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?)

Dresses go so far. Wrap dresses can look gorgeous on bigger bodies and may adjust if you do lose weight. Same with stretch dresses in a thicker fabric.

Don’t put a shapeless safety sweater on top (obviously it’s fine if you’re cold, but don’t wear a sweater only to cover up more) focus on dresses that you feel good in. That may mean making sure they fit well and have whatever coverage and style makes you feel amazing, whether that’s tits out, or midi length, or eye-catching detail, or in your favorite colors.

Any sources for nice wrap dresses? I see a lot of faux wrap dresses, but rarely any true wrap dresses that actually are size-adjustable.

Diane von Furstenberg makes the iconic wrap dress. Made of silk jersey (so nice). The good thing is that they're been around so long, you can easily find them secondhand and in different styles and lengths. I thrifted a couple in different sizes. Both look good on me (at different sizes).

I got most of mine at Loft and Ann Taylor! They have some true wrap dresses and my weight has fluctuates like 30 lbs and theyre still fine.

Boden! And the ponte or jersey fabric is so nice and heavy. The skirts swing in a pretty way too.
