I am going on holiday in exactly five weeks. I really looked forward to it, tried to loss as much weight as possible. I lost less weight than expected and feel horrible about myself. I am just under 13 st but horribly apple-shaped. According to shopyourshape.com I am an inverted triangle:
As an Inverted Triangle body type, you have a proportionally larger upper body. You have broad shoulders, and ample bust and a wide back. Your hips are slim and your bottom may have a tendency towards the flat side. Your waist is subtle and you have a tendency to gain weight in your belly and upper body. Your beautiful, shapely legs are your best asset.
It actually does describe my body perfectly. I have lots of clothes in my wardrobe but I tend to wear skater dresses with tights, that's it really. I only wear and own one pair of jeans. It is difficult to buy trousers for me, because I need a larger size around the upper body but then it's too big for my legs.
I am going to Miami and Las Vegas with my friends, who are incredibly beautiful and slim. I really want to make an afford and look 'good'. Should I dare to try something different? What would you suggest? I have around +-500GBP to spend. As I am still losing weight I don't want to spend too much money on clothes at the moment, but I want some style ideas.
Mumsnetters, can you help please?
