Need a change of style... HELP!

[sophied1983]

I'm on the larger side of life let's say and always had my problem areas. Anyway, was on my sister's hen - felt reasonably good for once. We did a dance class with mirrors all along one wall and I was horrified... but by my legs, which I've never previously thought were that bad. I feel like I need a new look for the summer.

Can anyone advise if I share a pic?!

I'll try to help if I can.. I'm not a skinny mini I'm a 16 but I have been bigger in the past and smaller, I know what it's like it's crap sometimes. Remember that life's too short to give that much of a shit.. 🤣🤣it's ok to care but don't get down on yourself x

That's me far right. Just awful. When you think "Christ, is that what people see when they look at me"???

Whereas for once, I thought my hair and make-up went okay. Felt reasonably confident until I saw my reflection in the dance studio!!!

I'd don't know which one you are but there's nothing wrong with any of you. You all look fine.

It's always like that we're all very self critical.. from my point of view u look lovely! Don't focus on the negative stuff think about what u like about yourself and then dress to show that off. I have big melons I find that if I wear floaty stuff I look massive coz it hangs off them, so I tend to show them off abit (not too much) 🤣🤣 my legs are nice so I get them out. I'm an apple shape so I have to find something that doesn't cling at the waste. All this is irrelevant though coz tbh u look great but if it helps u feel more confident then think about what u like to wear that shows off the parts u like the most x

You look good. No style change needed!

You are beautiful OP! The only thing I wonder from the full length pic is whether you could do with a different bra just to give you a slightly different shape. Don't change though!

Yes - I have noticed my boobs look terrible in photos. They need to be lifted up more I think. Didn't help that I tried on some clothes today and felt terrible in all of them. Going on a hen do in a few weeks with a bunch of slim attractive girls. Gawd knows what to wear.

The summer is the worst for me!

Maybe try a light jeans, cami and wedges combo... my go to! 🤣

You have beautiful skin and eyes. Kimono and vest top for summer?

Wide leg floaty trousers with wedge shoes ?

Thank you @Bazzill. Needed that!

Don’t want to gate crash the thread, but where can I find nice kimonos to wear over a vest top? And what sort of kimono is fashionable now? Thanks

I think it's sort of a personal preference thing kimonos.. they are all in at the min I think.. not like I'm a fashion guru or anything 🤣🤣 I usually get mine from silk Fred but boohoo have cheaper ones but sometimes there not much cop material wise. Hope this helps

It's just not a good photo OP. You're stood funny, but you all are, because you are waiting for instructions (by the look of it). You'd look a bit of a plonker if you'd stood posing, photo ready, while they told you what to do.
