What to wear in summer that looks ok

If you're 5'0" and size 16? I know the answer, it's that nothing looks ok. But if you are this size and shape, what do you look good in?

I like clothes but when I look at something I like, it nearly always says 'the model is 5'9" and wearing size 10. It might look good on her, but I'm going to look shit in it.

Well, unfortunately you are wrong. I am a size 16 and I am 5ft on the nail- and I look GREAT!

I wear midi dresses, sweetheart cut necklines, maxi skirts and v neck tops. High waisted jeans with tops tucked in, camisoles, tea dresses, prints, colour, black, white, I wear most things tbh.

Different shapes might be the problem but I have good boobs, good ankles, squishy tummy and not a fan of my upper arms. Flaunt what you have and discard things that make you feel rubbish!

Some things I don’t enjoy wearing: mom jeans, dungarees, leggings (unless in a faux tights scenario, I don’t love my arse in leggings on their own and I want to love my arse) and I don’t tend to wear full bodycon unless I have some GOOD shape wear in place.

I guess you need to look at the style you like and then adapt it to fit your body.
