Fashion has never been one of my top priorities. If you knew me prior to 99 then you know what I'm talking about. I was such a tomboy and I look back at pics and I'm embarrassed. Baggy jeans and old t-shirts were my main pieces of clothing. I also went through a phase where I wore nothing but old lady shirts. What was I thinking? There also wasn't any makeup in my life.
I finally got out of those trends but still didn't have a grasp on what looked good on me. My figure is a little tricky and really always has been. I've always been a larger girl which makes shopping unbearable at times. The stuff that looks cute on skinny chicks obviously doesn't look good on fat girls. It's so depressing but if I wanted to change it then I would work a lot harder. I dreaded shopping for years because it was so embarrassing to try on clothes. I love shopping for my skinny friends much more then I do for myself. There are just so many more options.
There was also a phase of letting the twins hang out too. Maybe I was searching for attention at the time? I can't believe some of the shirts I would wear without a cami underneath it. I have more low cut shirts then anything else.
Going on What Not to Wear would probably be best for me. Even now I prefer baggier jeans just because I can't stand when fat girls wear jeans that are too small and then their belly just hangs over. It's so gross and really how can they now know they look like that? I think I've definitely learned how to dress my body better with age. No need to flaunt the stuff and form fitting stuff is ok when worn appropriately. I have an all new love for shoes lately too. If I were rich I'd have a problem for sure.
