So yes, go to the gym, and buy whatever the heck makes you feel great about yourself.

I'm 44 with have similar stats, relatively toned (but not muscular in the least), and I wear whatever I want: mini skirts, maxi dresses, low cut tops as long as they're tight and don't gape (small chest, so I have corset-type tops, not V-shaped loose tops). In the winter I like to wear J crew tissue-thin turtlenecks that are full coverage but showcase my slim figure. I love wearing patterned tights when it's cold, paired with all kinds of mini or midi skirts, or short shorts (I have a pair of tweed shorts I love). I have a fun leather cutout steampunk skirt.

You don't seem to appreciate how much being slim opens up the doors to fashion. If you don't like your waist, you can wear things that showcase your legs. Wolford makes great quality tights if you're so inclined. Bottom line, you will always seem more elegant than the other, more full-figured, people. Stand up straight and rock it.

You know, there’s a way to make OP feel good without shitting on people with other body types. You were doing so well until that last bit.

By the way, you’ve outed yourself with your repeated references to tweed shorts. We see you. You’re the one who likes to dress inappropriately young. You are henceforth known as Tweed Shorts Twit.

lol. Pretty sure she talks about her leather steampunk cutout skirt too.

OP here.. thank you for this. I really do need to start a strength training regimen but it's hard to fit that in - I do walk the dog every day for about 45-60 min. A part of me feels like now is the time for me to tone up and and wear what I want, but my style is very simple and minimalist. And we're also in the crazy stage with high schoolers on the brink of college apps.

I want to try some new styles but need a push. If anyone has purchased anything recently that they love and fit them well, please share. I need new pants!
