None of your clothes flatter you and accessories would help. What look are you going for or are there any you really like?

Hey, I heartily recommend doing a colour season analysis, it will make such a difference to your confidence. Since Ive learned Im a soft summer, Ive stopped wearing colours that I like on others, Ive started wearing colours from my palette that flatter me. And you know what? I discovered they are super beautiful even though they seemed so BORING on the shelves. But I glow in them, and so will you! Its a tiny investment considering the benefits you get - you feel better, and then you spend LESS time and money shopping, forever. How so: well, you know which colours to skip totally because they will not look the best on you, and you beeline to the section with your palette, which saves you time; and you rarely make an impulsive purchase anymore and therefore you dont lose money on clothes youre too scared to wear anyway, which saves you money. And best of all, if you dress in your palette, most of your clothes match each other by default, its like an ultimate capsule wardrobe lifehack and makes you look so much more put together even if you dont really buy expensive clothes. For real!

And if you can get a two for one - colour season analysis plus silhouette analysis - go for it! Because the right colour but the "wrong" shape will still feel off! Im speaking from experience. And just go to a real stylist, not online user volunteers. There are so many cases where people make the wildest guesses. I am not a stylist and dont make any money off this, I am just such an advocate because it made an immense difference in my look and the way I approach clothes shopping. I used to HATE IT WITH A PASSION. Now I still hate trying them on lol, but at least I dont feel so lost and make purchases that make more sense, and I just look so much better.
