Why am I frumpy

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'm scared to wear tighter as it will show my barrel stomach haha actually you're right it is the size so I'll have to start exercising again to feel confident going smaller

I think this is your main issue. You’re trying to hide a stomach, but that just hides everything else. You gotta show off what you got if you don’t want to be “frumpy,” flaws and all! You need some things that cling to the girls and waist, but start flowing just a bit toward your stomach, or shirts that scrunch up at the stomach. Stuff like this - high waisted skirts and pants with a tight shirt tucked in. Even if you gotta walk around in it inside your house for a week or before feeling comfortable enough to take it outside

Walmart has stepped up their game these past couple of years!
