Before having kids and hitting middle age, I had what I assume was a fast metabolism in that I could eat a lot of crap and was still always underweight/borderline underweight BMI wise. I'm about 5'3" and was probably about a size 6 on top and 8-10 on bottom - all my weight was on my bottom half, I was pretty flat chested. I used to spend summer holidays in teeny tiny bikinis and shorts and generally had no issues with finding clothes to fit.
Fast forward 10 years with a slower metabolism, 2 kids (inc one CS) and still a crap diet and I've put on about 10kg, mostly around my middle (albeit I do now have boobs, hurrah). I can't really wear anything tight fitting or clingy any more as I just look pregnant. I'm about an 8 on top but a 12 on bottom.
I mostly live in skinny jeans with a giant hoodie, high waisted baggy jeans or dungarees.
We're going away in half term for an AI holiday in Greece. We've never had a holiday like this since having the kids (we usually just stick to the UK) and I have not got the faintest what to wear which will be comfortable and flattering.
No chance am I wearing a bikini this time around but it's more things like skirts/shorts/dresses. I just don't know how to dress my figure any more other than to hide it under baggy stuff.
Any good websites/influencer types I could look at for ideas or does anyone have any good tips?
Thank you so much
