Question:
Larger ladies, help me Im having a style crisis
I have arrived at a size 16 and after much, much hating myself, diet obsessions, bordering on serious self loathing I have now arrived at an 'almost' level of self acceptance.
Ive gone from a relatively small size (8/10) and I am rather short at 5'1", I am very curvy with a large tum, although its quite in proportion IYSWIM :o
But I am having a serious style crisis, I have emptied my wardrobe so that everything in it fits, but is sooooooooo boring, now soley comprising of combats, shirts, black trousers and cheapy primark tops.
Can any stylish larger ladies out there help me with some tips on how to look good with my size? I am rather ashamed to admit I havent a clue :o
sorry this is a short reply, as I'm breaking fast in 6 minutes (not counting or anything :o ) but take a look at this thread I post a few days back, it has some useful suggestions about translating this season's trends for curvier shapes.
Thanks for that, I am really stuck just been sorting through the wardrobe again and Im finding it tough to piece stuff together, I can get kind of stuff together but I was hoping to get some ideas on stylish flattering looks, I am not necessarily bothered if they are bang up to date ;)
I had a look at some stylediaries but the trouble is there are not so many for people of my size which is a shame.
Have you had a look at Dots Obsession's Style diary? I think she has a fab sense of style :great: (I hope you don't mind Dots! ;) )
