Hi! I feel the same a lot and I'm trying to change that. I've realized that it's not me or you that has a problem with our self esteem or whatever which is what I always thought - your hate for clothes specifically proves that. It's the clothes' fault.

Most of the clothes I have I bought because they are pretty but really they are not very comfortable, don't make me feel good about myself, aren't ideal for my body shape and don't go well with my comfy bras and undies. And then so often the bottoms I want to wear don't have an appropriate top that is comfy and makes me feel pretty. And the tops I'd be happy to wear only go with all the bottoms I hate. Like jeans - I really don't like wearing jeans.

I think we can change this by talking more about our clothes, helping each other, getting away from what fashion pushes at us and focussing on what makes us feel beautiful, comfortable, and inspired to get up and make the most of the day.

So as I was saying, I'm trying to change this depressing routine of getting changed and having 'nothing to wear' by being smarter about what I buy and if I succeed, I'd like to help others who have the same frustrations. I was also thinking of making some clothes because I like to sew.

The first step is some research which is why I'm here. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind telling me what you think your body shape is and what pieces of clothing you feel the most pretty in. And if you like - which pieces of clothing make you feel the most unlovely. That would be super helpful for my quest I really want to get out of this frustration and if I can, help other women along the way.

All the best with choosing what to wear and if you like I'll keep you updated on my findings

Even if I'm doing reasonably well, I hate getting dressed. And it's not that I can't be bothered to get out of my pyjamas. I would happily change from one pair of pyjamas to another. So it's not the actual movement of removing something and putting something else on. Or not even that by getting dressed I have to go out. I just hate clothes specifically.

Any ideas how I can change that? I'd rather not hate something so trivial that I have to do every day....
Thanks for this!
