Is there a de-frumpifying support thread going at the moment...?

[Girlywurly]

It's my birthday in a couple of weeks and I'm feeling decidedly frumpy. Still carrying around that surplus stone and haven't been out for a run for yonks, plus I've been doing horrible things recently like falling asleep in my makeup and neglecting to floss.

Time for me to get a grip. Does anyone want to join me?

I am here

I think it's a great idea but my frump related problem is so specific. I can often dress in an understated way that has "cool" leanings without being rock chic. HOWEVER, sometimes I get it so wrong. A couple of weeks ago I wore a terrible outfit that I still think back to it. Problem was a new pair of jeans. I was determined to wear them even though I clearly hadn't worked out how to wear them. I've simply got to stop leaving the house in clothes that I can clearly see really don't work.

I feel slightly better since having my hair cut and colured (longgggg overdue). But Christ really need to do a lot of repair work to my face. My body will take longer. Have a mum tum but never had kids!

Mind you saw a lovely (not really) sight of an OBVESE woman in leggings - she had an almost square bum. Showed every roll.

Hello everyone!

dudsville, sounds like you're very nearly sorted in terms of having a cool wardrobe... Do you ever put together outfits in advance, photograph them, etc to get a more objective idea about how they look...? I'm thinking about starting to do that as I always seem to look somewhat dishevelled and thrown together.

Deathraystare, face is a big issue for me too. Due to a health issue, I've got quite bad hyperpigmentation, which I'm trying to sort out with various lotions and potions. What are your issues?
