I need fashion help cause I just dont feel like wearing any of the clothes I have anymore because they seem dull to me and its really hard to find clothes that look good on me because im 5'1" and 150lbs plus I dont know what body shape I have and I have stupid ugly "love handles" help please oh im a size 9 pants and large or extra large shirts. Now that you kinda have a visual what are good fashion tips for more bright, sexy, fashionable clothes I could go for?

It's hard to suggest clothes without a better idea of your shape but you can always try finding amazing accessories to spice up old clothes. Cool necklaces, bags, earrings, and jackets can completely transform a t shirt

well, i know when I got bored with clothes, i modify them. Cut and sew or patch it up. find inspiration around you. Don't be scared to venture outside your norm. Also confidence helps because you might start dressing a certain way and some people will not understand why or ish like that. hope that helps :)

Your body probably looks a lot better than you personally think it does, you could rock almost anything you want!


If you want to "camouflage" certain things, I have a couple tips on styles to look for and some to avoid, but I bet you could wear most trends out there today! =) Don't be afraid to try anything!

You should stay away from anything "over sized," though, it does tend to make people look bigger.
I would stick with a lot of structural items. It doesn't have to necessarily be structural fabric, I am obsessed with a bunch of soft cotton peplum tops I've added to my wardrobe. It creates the illusion of a slimmer and more defined waist.

I am also kind of short so I rarely wear skirts and tops (I feel they cut my already short body in half) but I do have TONS of dresses. I find dresses look better on shorter figures than separates (pants or skirts and a separate top) and it seems to elongate the body. Wearing black tights with black shoes (or any similar/matching colored tights and shoes) elongates your legs, especially nude shoes with a bare leg. I think looking for a structural, or tighter fitting bodice/top of the dress, with slight movement or pull away from the body on the bottom works the best. Wrap dresses (structural or ballet style), skater dresses, and anything labelled "fit and flare" are some of my go-to silhouettes.

As for your style, an easy way to look really fashionable and trendy and exciting is to invest in really cool accessories like handbags, shoes, and jewelry that you can wear with simple staple items that you like.

I buy most of my clothes, shoes, and accessories from ASOS.com. Its really great quality for the price, shipping is fast and free (so are returns-super easy!), and they often have lots of sales or email you GREAT promo codes for amazing discounts.

If I am buying something seasonal that may or may not go out of style the following season I definitely hit up Forever 21 and Target. The quality is not that great but they have a high inventory turnover, so they always have new "trend" items coming in.

I always find my favorite accessories at thrift stores though! There are always amazing and quality little gems you will stumble upon in a thrift store-and everything is unique!
