Summer wear - bloated tummy, hate thighs, spots on chest!

I sound beautiful I know!
I am a size 10, get a bloated tummy and have no waist shape to speak of - may be an apple shape?

I hate my knees Blush and have muscly thighs and skinnier lower legs.

I also struggle with spots on my chest and back so feel very self conscious - I have tried everything but nothing has succeeded in getting rid of them. Think it could be due to sweat from exercise although I always shower immediately.

So what sort of thing can I wear in summer in the South of France? I am 5’4”, late thirties (if relevant) and normally live in jeans and t shirts or blouses.

I am just shit at hot weather dressing!

If you're a size 10 you would probably look good in shorts and maybe a sleeveless thin cotton top that is maybe a little higher cut neckline if you're self conscious of your chest area, I am sure the sun in the south of France will help clear them up though! My DD suffers with spots here too, and on her back, we have been using Duac on them and it is great, effective very quickly if you have time to get some from the doc? We have it on repeat prescription now. DD only applies it an night though as it can discolour clothes otherwise.

When it's been really hot recently I have been living in a cool floaty strappy dress with no waistband so nothing clinging to my skin. Ime I worry what I will look like and then see allsorts out and about and wonder why! Have a fab holiday!

(Its a nursing dress but you do not have to nurse!). It's also polyester though so might be a bit grim
