I bought myself a dress to wear on my birthday as a little present and it arrived today and is so unflattering on me I’m so disappointed. I just wanted to feel cute for when I turned 30 :(

I turn thirty tomorrow. Any advice for my thirties? My twenties were pretty rough and I’m not keen to do that but older.
