I wear non flattering colors all the time. I was draped as a muted autumn, and was so disappointed that beiges are my best color. There aren’t any strong colors that are ”flattering” for me, but i eventually went back to wearing strong pops of red and lime, and occasionally black, because I like the vibe they communicate. I do try to search out slightly more flattering reds when making purchases now. But basically it was too limiting to only wear my best colors.
However, I can totally relate to not wearing items that make me look frumpy, or are difficult to style to avoid the frump. There’s lots of options to choose between ”my thinnest/sexiest” and ”frumpy” so I don’t feel limited.
I wear the non flattering colors too, to but there are some exceptions. I had one piece in this particular shade of beige and could really not pull it off, it was just making me look dead in the face. I sold it ultimately even though I loved the piece:) I agree regarding the scale of shape - plenty to choose from without limiting ourselves
I had a trusted friend help me let go of 10 bags of clothes. I tried them on and she helped me keep all of the “ hell ya’s.” This process was very helpful because I don’t know what my backside actually looks like. It is liberating to own less.
indeed! I love giving away clothes to friends that I do not wear anymore - sometimes they are old or not really sellable. And having just the best clothes really frees your mind

This was a great read, loved all the visuals. And the Tibi leather skirt on you, without the belt and with the belt too!
thank you! I love trying out different "theories" and seeing how others do it too :)
