Im a size 18. My usual style used to be kind of rock chick/punk rock. That was in my twenties and at a size 12. I don't feel comfortable in this style at size 18. Ive kept some reminiscent of it.... DM calf length boots, an Iron Fist handbag.... The occasional pink streaks in my hair.
I wss leaning towards fifties style, but felt too fat for that. Plus with 4 kids style needs to be practical as well. No hours doing hair and having to remember im wearing a skirt, plus i have to walk at least 4 miles a day on school runs.
Nowadays, at 31, i wear pretty much just black. Leggings. Bum skirting/covering tops. Usually something floaty to hide tummy. Right now its sheer black over a black vest
I would be happy wearing a tracksuit somedays but i can't bring myself to leave the house in it.
I don't really know what to wear, i still like the punky styles but thats s bit teenagery tbh and can a 30 something get away with it!? Unless you're in a band!? Maybe i should start a band...
I plan on losing weight, but its not a fixation, just when im ready. Ive done too much of the 'i want to fit into my old jeans' and then disappointing myself.
So, i was wondering, best advice for a size 18 with a biggish belly, a sizeable arse, average boobs, all contained in 5'2"? I want to to look put together!
