Hi,
Just that really. Bought several items from Matalan (I know not high quality etc, but just wanted a few holidays bits, i.e shorts, skirts etc) but I looked horrendous in EVERYTHING! I think there were 10 items overall and I kept thinking, "it's ok...maybe the next one will look passable', but nope. All shit.
I'm a size 10, reasonably slim, but with a bit of a tummy I suppose. More so than I thought! These kind of clothes and fabrics have really highlighted all "imperfections".
I have good legs, one of the few features I like, so wanted to get those out, but nothing seems to be cut for my body shape, which is high waisted with broad shoulders (inverted triangle??) I just seem to look like a bloke when I wear shorts or mini skirts. It's floaty maxi dresses or nothing apparently ☹
I have a decade old c section scar which is really quite thick, but I'm sure it's got worse with age and it certainly keeps that pouch prominent. I just saw my body completely differently today and now feeling very deflated and well.....unattractive. Never had a huge amount of body confidence, but was certainly feeling ok about myself recently.
Really wanted to feel good about myself and a bit sexy this holiday. Well that ain't gonna happen now, given there's only a few days to go. Oh well, on the up side the flip flops look great! 🙄👍 so you know, every cloud...
Not sure why I'm posting really. I guess just for a rant and sympathy 😂
