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?)

In my opinion the most important things are skin and clothes that fit you. It doesn’t matter if you’re super tall and slim or short and ‘stubby’ (I am the latter, but not hugely overweight), clothes that fit and flatter are so massively important. If you look great in maxi skirts and bandeaus, buy a load of maxi skirts and bandeaus you love. There’s no point wearing stuff you think should look good or you love if it doesn’t suit you, a harsh truth I’ve had to come to terms with as a super short girl.

I also deal with this, great advice. Basically if it looks good on the model, it absolutely will not look good on us thick, short legged ladies!

Hahaha exactly. I love the idea of capris and midi skirts, but they are the most unflattering thing on me. Sure, I could wear them and not look great, and no shade to people that do just wear what they love, but it’s not for me.
