3.30 In a nutshell I battle with summer season dressing with layers. I prefer to put on wide-leg trousers and want one thing slimmer on high to stability out my huge hips and legs.
Nonetheless, since menopause, I’ve modified form. I was a pear; with a small bust, delicate shoulders, and broad hips. Nonetheless, now my tummy is larger and so are my arms. My shoulders which used to look slim, at the moment are in keeping with my hips, (though my bust continues to be smaller than my hips). The larger arms appear to have balanced out the hips, which has confused me when making an attempt to work out which new form I fall into.
Additionally, I don’t know which sort of cardigan would look good on me. I’ve huge arms, so I’m not positive if I ought to put on a traditional crew neck cardigan as clingy arms look horrible. I’m considering shopping for a cream shorter jacket to go together with darker trousers, however I don’t just like the boxy jackets which can be in style now and suppose one thing extra formed would look higher. Nonetheless, I don’t consider lengthy jackets look good with wide-leg or palazzo pants when you could have outstanding hips and a small bust.
my greatest type problem is learn how to costume a bigger physique than I used to!
8.31 I’m now a curvy dimension 14-16. I’m extra comfy in black and darkish colors, and stretchy garments, however I don’t really feel actually nice; I don’t get pleasure from getting dressed or purchasing. I’ve began to simply accept that purchasing a bigger dimension might be extra comfy and much more flattering, nevertheless it’s miserable. To compound that problem, I’ve began a job this yr the place the costume code is sensible informal in “pale, impartial colors – like white, beige, linen and sand – and sage and olive greens”. I like inexperienced in order that’s nice, however sporting pale colors makes me uncomfortable.
I’m afraid of getting soiled however greater than that, I really feel just like the Michelin man! Each spare tyre and lump and bump exhibits up and I really feel large. I can’t wait to get dwelling and climb into my leggings and outsized jumper and conceal.
