I have never really understood style/fashion/makeup, but recently I've been really struggling. I put on a bit of weight, taking me from a 10 to a 12, and since that, plus becoming a mother, I have been completely lost. I am in my mid 20s, and the first of my friends to start a family.
I feel that I am caught in the middle somewhat- I feel a bit 'past' (and a bit too fat) for the styles worn by my 20s friends, but still too young for the sort of clothes worn by the mum-friends I have made, who are all 10plus years older than me.
Added to that, I am an awkward shape- sort of rectangular, with wide, round shoulders, biggish boobs, no hips, and a pouchy c-section overhang.
Everything feels uncomfortable and badly fitting on me- ever since my c-section, I feel irritated by tight things around that area- underwear,jeans, leggings, tights. I'm happiest in warm weather, when I can just throw on a cotton summer dress. Textures irritate me as well. To be honest, when I get back home after being out, I can't wait to get everything off me and get my pyjamas on.
Ideally, I would like to wake up in the morning, get dressed, and stay dressed until that evening without feeling awkward and uncomfortable.
Oh, and I have brown hair which is just past my shoulders, and I am quite solidly built & broad-faced. I weight about 10.7 and am 5'6, my boobs are 34DD, waist is 29/30.
I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin again
