Im in need of some help ladies.. I'm not ridiculously overweight but I'd definitely like to loose a few pounds, my issue is much more that I don't recognise myself anymore, don't know how to dress for my bodyshape & age and still feel like me (I like to think I'm a cool person) 😂
I have an hourglass shape & have just turned 40 , I have two young children and was been diagnosed with thyroid disease a few years ago, I find getting weight off hard , it never used to be.
I can't wear the same outfits I used to (pre kids) my hair is so thin after the kids too and a fair few more grey ones too 😂 I don't really mind those but clothes wise I just can't seem to get it right, I never used to have this problem so it's really frustrating not to feel like myself I just feel frumpy in everything, I've gotten my weight back to where I'm happy with before but still have issues with styling myself. I'm after some tips really, I've bought the Trinnny book about finding your colours etc but am still lost.
I seem to of gained most the weight on my hips which makes me feel huge, all advise for hourglass figures is wrap tops etc but they just make me feel ancient and a bit mutton like as my bust is large always has been but I'm not 20 anymore and it doesn't feel right having cleavage out I've never liked that tbh.
My hair is thin, it doesn't suit me in my previous styles anymore so I keep it short but it's boring , dark, in a kinda bob I love the French bobs but my hairs too thin for that really, I'm trying to grow it a bit at the moment for what I don't know 😂
I tend to wear high waist jeans to cover my mum tum but I find it just excentuates it 🫣
Any advice would be most welcome
