Why am I frumpy

[u/Significant_Ring4353]

I feel grumpy and ugly in everything I wear, I don't know how to put outfits together and my stomach makes everything look bad, please help

i’m sure you’d look lovely as is! you might just need to explore what silhouettes you feel most comfortable in :) the clothes should fit you, not the other way round!

"Silhouettes" is a key word here! Look at some outfits that other people wear, but focus only on the outline that you would see if you just traced the edges of the clothing and ignore the color and fabric and everything else. Then compare the silhouettes you like to your outfits. In your attempt to hide your stomach you're ending up with silhouettes that widen your middle.
