Dislike all my summer clothes, help!

Ok, I've been trying things on today, stuff I've had for years and some new-ish and I either don't feel comfortable in it, too small or feel frumpy! I want to feel nice wearing something. I suppose it comes down to needing to lose my mum tum a bit, I instantly look at that area when trying on. Any tips on styles that are flattering and cool? Been reading the thread on how to look expensive with interest.

I've seen some culottes I like but what top would you wear with them? I'm guessing more fitted as they're wide, what about shoes? I need to go through my wardrobe but all of a sudden don't trust my judgement anymore! I have some ugly varicous veins that have come up on one leg so am wondering also about a maxi skirt with a fitted top so if anyone has any suggestions?! Grin

Culottes and maxi skirts both work well with a fitted crop top. Generally you're right, do wear something tighter if the bottom is flowy and loose, else you end up loosing your body shape altogether. Sandals work with both of these too! Or to take it to a evening look, opt for a pair of open toed heels.

I had this same "I have nothing to wear" feeling often, what I do is take a piece I do like (say a denim skirt) and google "denim skirt outfits" into Pinterest or google images for inspiration. You'll find a lot of the time a look will appear that you like, could replicate but simply never thought of pairing this with that before :)

OP do you have any items of clothing at all that you really like? If so post a pic and we could give you some ideas of what you could wear with it.
