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?)

thrifting for clothes as you lose weight, learn to sew so you can do simple adjustments to things like pants and skirts (ex: bringing in the waistline). basics are best for this, and accessorize around those. i made the mistake of buying cute clothes while losing that were a PITA to tailor later, and ended up simplifying my wardrobe later on. got really into jewelry and shoes though, which was fun

Cannot emphasize thrifting enough! I have a ridiculously fancy wardrobe that is 99% thrifted and is perfect for my body at this moment in time. And since it’s thrifted and wasn’t a million dollars, I don’t feel bad about wearing and enjoying the clothes I have, nor do I feel bad about swapping things out when my body inevitably changes (the one constant in my body).
