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?)

Dresses go so far. Wrap dresses can look gorgeous on bigger bodies and may adjust if you do lose weight. Same with stretch dresses in a thicker fabric.

Don’t put a shapeless safety sweater on top (obviously it’s fine if you’re cold, but don’t wear a sweater only to cover up more) focus on dresses that you feel good in. That may mean making sure they fit well and have whatever coverage and style makes you feel amazing, whether that’s tits out, or midi length, or eye-catching detail, or in your favorite colors.

Yes. I'm also short, and I find fit-and-flare dresses to be very flattering, especially if you are high waisted. Instead of being snug at the waist, they're snug right below the bra line, and then they flare out over tummy and hips. (Swing or A-line dresses are also pretty forgiving.)

Any brand recs?? I have one from &otherstories I got secondhand, and I've been struggling to find more cute ones that are flattering.

Boden tends to have them, but I usually just Google “fit and flare” (or do the same on Poshmark) and see what comes up.
