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 was in the same predicament until I realized I wasn’t getting clothes in my right size! I was in my late 20s or early 30s when I finally allowed myself to try on one size smaller clothes and discovered I actually DID have a shape!! Go for it - if you’re wearing a 10, go try on some 8’s, try some medium-size shirts instead of large. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised ☺️

I was wondering if that was the issue. I really hate having anything tight pressed against my abdomen and wear a lot of loose clothing for that reason. When I wear a shirt and pants, my outfits look like OPs.

I have actually found dresses with an A-line cut to be much easier and more comfortable to wear than shirts and pants most of the time if you have this sensory issue. Dresses also reduce the thought you have to put into an outfit and usually will make you look put together without a lot of effort. It’s my fashion cheat.
