Outfit ideas whilst shifting weight?
Hi all,
Recently I put on a good 10kgs (unfortunately) therefore also rendering most of my wardrobe useless.
I am now working out and have already dropped a kilogram but am not enjoying this mid-state of not really having anything to wear.
Whilst I was still in shape I would often wear slightly baggy tops (but flattering on my figure), blouses, etc with fitted jeans and then whatever footwear.
Right now I'd naturally not wear skin tight tops, and at the same time, certain oversized shirts make me look even bigger.
So, my question is does anybody have some outfit ideas or suggestions (Or even looks created on polyvore or similar) that would be suitable for a slightly overweight figure?
Since it's still chilly where I live, I would like it to be jeans based.
My basic footwear goes from boots to flats, depending on the weather, a pair of white low-top converse and a pair of girlie Vans.
When it comes to tops - I am quite casual but still feminine/pretty (i.e not just band shirts or hoodies..)
I would really appreciate some outfit suggestions that don't accentuate the extra weight but still work with it. As we all know, confidence is essential and I want to feel good about myself again, especially as I am working off the extra weight! Right now I find myself reaching for the plain black tops in my wardrobe which do nothing for me :(

one word; blazers!!!
They will make you look sopisticated and also edgy,you can choose if you want fitted or baggy blazers and they generaly look good on everyone! the best thing to do however (i know that it sounds a bit cheesy) is to feel confident and to smile!

Great job working out to feel better about yourself!
I am a bigish girl myself and my weight goes up and down like crazy! my best advice? Jazz it up! have fun, try layers and scarves, use a neck scarf as a belt! Who knows who cares, laugh and play with your clothes, try on everything and mix it up.
If you have some skirts or pants or shirts a little too big it is really easy to add a "dart" in them to tighten them a little, it is also easy to let the dart out if you need them big again ..
( a dart is a fold in your clothing held in place by one or two small stitches)
Also no one ever said you can't wear a skirt over a pair of jeans in the winter time.
Or a kick ass pair of socks. No one cares what else you wear if you are rocking a skirt with a pair of crotch high neon striped socks!
Bottom line, they are only clothes, you are still you in a paper bag or a flawless fitted ball gown. Have fun with what you wear and BE COMFORTABLE!
