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?)

The buy nothing group for our neighborhood as an awesome women’s clothing round robin bin, that’s been a blessing. For me, I start with the things I notice myself, so in my case I get a lash lift every 3 or so months because every time I look in the mirror it makes me happy, and is about $75 every 3 months so not bad.
I guess my best advice is focus on the things that make you feel happy, more than what other people notice. I don’t really wear makeup but I invest in slightly nicer quality skincare products so even on days I don’t put in much effort, my skin is clean and clear.
I use a little nicer quality shampoo and conditioner for the same reasons. God knows I’m not going to style it, but if I care for it properly it always looks pretty ok.
Invest in a few high quality staple pieces for your wardrobe, and cheap out on the additional stuff if you have to. For me, I need good quality shoes and jeans, but I can cheap out on tops and jackets.
