HELP ME BE TRENDYYYY

I feel like I'm having abit of a identity crisis.

I've recently gone through 4 pregnancy losses and my skin is so spotty and I've gained so much weight.

I just don't know who I am anymore, I don't even think before putting on a outfit where as before I used to be known to be trendy and was always being asked where I got my clothes and loved shopping.

Now I can't think of anything worse! I feel like my hair is so long and just nothing to it! I've always had long hair but I feel like I just want to look more put together again.

It probably doesn't help that nothing fits me.. I think I need to actually just get in the gym.

I'm not massive by any means.. a size 10 but very very short!

I've always been 6-8 so obviously it's bigger for me ( when I say I'm short, I'm honestly diddy) so I do look really stumpy.

I'm just trying to work out how I can get back to being " me" when I feel like I'm not the same person as before.

I find myself envying my sister in law so much as she honestly reminds me of me before I had all these misscarriage.

I honestly love how she puts her outfits together but I can't even think how to do it anymore. It was like my little hobbie😂 now I can't even be bothered to put make up on!!

Please ladies! What the hell is trendy for a young lady in her twenty's 😓

First thing would be to sort your hair, I think. Go for something different, something that has visual impact straightaway. Then, get some eyelash extensions and a manicure that will last. Invest in a few good masks for your face and get back into a simple, easy routine of facial care.

Go for a walk every day. Then start looking at what a capsule wardrobe that fits you now would look like. Just 6-8 pieces for now, that all fit nicely. DO NOT buy things to ‘slim into’! Look at other people are a similar height and size to you, try to find common denominators in those that look well put together and whose styles and looks you like. Make a note of those and relocate them.

It’s a little hard to advise on what exactly you should buy, as it really depends on you and what style you like.

Flowers Flowers for your losses, that will have really taken a toll. Look after yourself and be gentle, be kind. Try to relate to yourself the way you would to a good friend.

Sigh. This autocorrect is so irritating! *Try to replicate outfits you like.
