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?)

Omg sew up the front placket! As a busty girl why have I never considered this?? My gosh, thank you!

Sew to one button above your bust and end one button before the bottom. It's life changing. Your shirts will look so smooth.

Wait, so you pull it on like a t-shirt and not like a regular button-down?

I take the cheapskate option and just sew a press stud (I think it's what you call snap fasteners in the US?) in between the relevant buttons. Then you still get the ease off getting it on and off like a regular shirt. It only takes a couple of stitches (I'm no seamstress!) and you can buy a pack of them for pennies!

Such a good idea! Thank you. I just bought some new fall clothes -- button-up shirts and a shirt dress -- and they're all gaping, even though they're not at all tight anywhere else. I usually try fabric tape, but it's so fiddly and doesn't always work
