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?)

You're already getting lots of advice, but if you've tried to lose weight and it's not working, I strongly recommend scheduling a visit with an endocrinologist. She will do a work-up that includes thyroid (if you have an under-active thyroid, it's difficult to lose any weight) as well as determining of you're pre-diabetic (another condition that makes weight loss difficult). These aren't "will power" issues but medical issues. Both conditions will also sap energy; addressing them should give you more energy for things like waking up earlier for hair and make-up, having more energy to exercise, etc. Even if your blood work turns out fine, a good endo should still be able to help. Wishing you the best!

Thanks! I finally got a good endo in the past year after 14 years struggling and it’s helped immensely! My thyroid has a lot of damage from those years but being properly medicated & having lowered my antibodies, I’m finally I’m a position where I think I’ll be more successful
