I just don't. I'm 46. I'm fat--but worse, I have a really weird shape now that I'm still not used to. I mean, I've always been fat, but this is different; my shape is foreign to me. My good points are no longer good. My once-shapely-even-for-a-fat-girl legs are lumpy and odd now, especially my ankles.
I used to have a pretty good idea how to dress myself, and often looked kinda cute. Now, I haven't got a clue. Things I think will look good fail miserably. I've gotten to the point where I've just given up and follow Gilda Radner's advice: I base my look on what doesn't itch.
I don't want to dress like a 20-year-old. I also don't want to dress like a 60-year-old. I'd like to look in the mirror and at least feel a little less despairing.
sigh. Where are Trinny and Susannah [1] when you need them! Do they do house calls? I mean, now? and in the US?
