From Frump to Fab

[CornChips]

Hello!

I expect versions of this have been done before, so am happy to be redirected to another thread if people prefer.

Basically, I am always a sartorial mess. I find it immensely difficult to find anything that looks good on me, to know what suits me, and fail to take care of my appearance because I am not even sure where to start.

From today, I want to just 'do' better. Look better. It takes me a lot of mental effort to try and look good, and I rarely feel comfortable. I am also trying to lose weight- but have decided to stop dieting and to eat the foods I love and can live with- which basically means fruit and a boiled egg for breakfast, protein and salad for lunch and protein and salad for dinner. I am cutting carbs, but wanting to up the veg.

Does anyone want to join a daily 'frump to fab' thread?

My usual look:

denim jeans
converses
t-shirt
maybe a scarf to cover my tum
no makeup

Me today.....

navy blue and white stiped cotton dress
denim jacket
brown sandals
painted toe nails (about to go and do that)
brown handbag
silver and turquoise stackable bracelets
emerald engagement ring and wedding ring

Hair - tied back into a high pony tail with a gold clip
Makeup on!!!!!

Today's look is neat but casual school-run mum. I would give myself a 6-7 out of 10.

I'm nursing a cold at the moment and am wearing some blue loose cotton hot pants which remind me of shorts I used to wear for sport at school, and a navy henley cotton top. I'm stuffing my face with a home made brownie, not wearing any make-up, and haven't washed my hair today (half of which has gone curly for no reason).

I'd give myself a 10 out of ten because I'm always fucking fabulous.

Well done cornchips!

I've started an outfit journal I just jot down what I wore and give the whole thing a score out of 10. I only started this month and I've learned such a lot about myself from doing it. My gymwear gets a 4 and I as I hate exercise anyway I need to upgrade that urgently and see if the two things are related!

Most of my stuff so far scores a 6/10 - the two days I scored an 8/10 I was chuffed to bits!

I like the idea of an outfit journal! I also like the idea of always feeling 10 out of 10 because I feel good about myself. ;) Not quite there yet though.

Today,

patterened blue loose trousers. Pale blue shirt. Gold necklace. Gladiator sandals. Gold bangle.

Hair down and wavy.

Makeup- just mascara, blush and lipgloss.

Again - 7-ish out of 10. I
