For me I just don’t know what looks good on me. I’m not overweight I think a lot of my dysmorphia revolves around me feeling like my face and hair doesn’t look right

I look up different clothing options and save the ones I think look good to a folder. Then use that collection to kinda understand what I’m goin for

I love Pinterest for getting new ideas but you’ve also gotta develop a style of your own. It def takes time and experimenting tho

Girl don’t worry about that at all! the right man will find you and love your style. I’ve known guys who are super into hyper-feminine dresses and makeup etc and then other guys prefer when girls wear baggy jeans and band shirts, it’s all unique and up to the individual what their preference is!

It’s a lot of coastal stuff so like blues, whites, and flowy stuff. I’ve posted it on here and guys said that looked like “grandma clothes”

Oml thats so pretty (not hitting on u like genuinely thats so cool) nah ur overthinking. Use Pinterest to see what you like but ur probably eating up every room u see cause they all just wear sweatpants and a shirt

I think most of my insecurities stem from my face especially because I don’t know what I really look like so I don’t know what looks good on me. Makeup colors, hair styles, hair colors I just have no concept of what looks good bc I feel like I look all wrong now

Isn’t there like a hairy theory or whatever that your natural color will 9 times outta 10 always suit you best? I think just work w your natural features /try to enhance what you already have don’t go too overboard trying to look like someone else. Makeup takes a lottt of practice to find what works best for you but it can be so fun to play and experiment with!! Just have fun with it :) I bet you’re beautiful in your own way
