How I did it: Trying on lots and lots of different styles and being honest with myself. If it doesn't work it doesn't work, that's what makes all of us unique! I picked out colors I know I liked but also look good with my skin (fair). I also did a lot of research on fashion and figured out what looks I like (such as boho chic, or minimalism) and tried to apply it to my body type.

Lessons & tips: If your clothes don't fit, don't wear them, muffintops and bulges look bad on everyone, no matter what your figure is. Create an hourglass shaped body with your clothes and don't feel self conscious about larger sizes (they will actually make you look smaller if they fit correctly!)
