Hello, all
I'm a 23 year old vagabond. Or it seems that way. My parents still support me, as I am unemployed, I just finished an internship, and I'm applying for an Americorps program to work with a non-profit. Still waiting to finish my last year of Undergrad. Only 5 classes...so close and yet so many dollars away. *sob*
Youlookfab.com is something I just stumbled upon really. My interest in clothing is directly linked to a blossoming of sorts over the last year and half of my life. I've become much more concerned with my looks, my clothes, my hair, for better or for worse. I say for the better. I feel happier and more prepared for anything and presentable. Also, I feel happier and I actually want to go places, which goes hand in hand for me, because I dont have to feel like I look a mess compared to others. Because now I dont! Ta-da! I enjoy getting dressed and wearing clothes now, I enjoy shopping. Hopefully, I can learn a bit more about my look or gather some inspiration from you lovely ladies. (and lads??? idk!)
My body shape...I definitely am an apple of sorts. I'm fat, chunkier, what have you. Plus Sized. I wear 18-20 usually, sometimes 16. My measurements, wearing a bra, are 45-38-48. Although my weight is balanced out, my legs are slimmer. I have skinny calves and ankles. And although the rules of fashion say I should seek volume, I find that I look best in skinny jeans and leggings.
My everyday look these days centers on skinny jeans and leggings. I guess I could call my look "casual chic" but perhaps thats a bit ambitious. I like skinny jeans and leggings, tank tops paired with cardigans, lightweight pullover tops, some longer button downs or oversized tops, and I almost always wear "ballet flats" and my tortoise shell sunglasses. I also need to add blazers into my wardrobe because they would fit in perfectly. My goal is to try out shorts, but I'm self-conscious about my legs in shorts, buy more shoes, and add more colors of jeans. I love my solid black jeans, they go with anything, and a few dark washes. I really like shorter, flared out (A line), trench style coats with belts. However, the weather does not permit such things at the moment. I also like dress pants, oxford shirts, more sweaters. I really want to wear dresses/skirts, but I have trouble with fits. And then theres the same issue with shorts - my skinny legs. We'll get there though. Those dresses on modcloth are calling my name!!
Okay I'm rambling a bit. Thats all my info.
