The uniform is either shorts in hot weather or jeans in cool, simple close-fitting but colorful T-shirts or turtlenecks (again weather dependent) for casual dress, and trousers with over-blouses to hide a little tummy--all very functional and deadly boring! I have an hour-glass shape, 5' 7", about 135 pounds. Hipster stuff doesn't work on me because I have a waist and need to show it. I shop in second-hand clothing street markets in Nairobi, where I can find a lot of (desiger label) merchandise at very reasonable prices, sometimes new but usually used, and I can sew to make alterations. Still, I'm having a hard time finding a look that really suits me, a look I feel not only comfortable wearing but can know that I look great. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer me!
