I feel really dumb for asking this, but its a question I need to ask someone.
I don't know how to dress my body. I'm not a style challanged, I actually get dragged along with people because I'm good at putting together outfits but I'm horrible at finding things for myself.
I'm 5'10" and about a size 7 in my waist. I have larger breasts, not huge, but too big for a button up shirt. I also have a rounder bottom and muscular thighs because I'm very active. I also have hips, so tight shirts look odd. People always tell me I should be a model because I'm tall, but I can't pull of clothes. I feel disgusted with my body because I always feel like I'm too large for clothes sold in the clothes I enjoy shopping at. I'm an individual, and I have charisma, and I'm tired of dressing in too big jeans and blah tshirts because I can't find anything else.
I just need styles of clothing, or stores that I could find clothes at for people who are shaped like me. Tiny waist, but curves, tall, muscular. I'm just so darn frustrated. Advice?
I agree with superdazz, bring an honest friend with you shopping. Try on styles you wouldn't normally try- you will be surprised by what actually looks good on you!
A lot of tees are actaully very pretty, espeicaly at stores like Aeropostale and ae.

If you buy a size up, they'll still have that "fitted" look, but not hug curves you'd rather hide. And if you want to show them off, you can do that too.
Button down shirts with actual button holes allow you to cover up clevage when showing it wouldn't be appropriate.

Plus, they're cute & you can dress them up OR down, depending on what you wear with them [lighter jeans or shorts, more casual; dark jeans, dress pants more formal]

Try this store, Express. I have a friend that sounds a bit like you, and she looks good in dresses, mainly the black cocktail kind, with a lowish v-neck line. Also, try skinny jeans and a bigger shirt. I am not quite sure, because I don't dress people, and I'm terrible with dressing myself, but it seems like it may work. Look through magazines! Magazines always put out an issue with a "how to suit your body" type of section. Good luck! [ needtobe's advice column | Ask needtobe A Question ]
