Just about every woman’s weight fluctuates at least a little
bit. As we age our bodies can also change shape. These changes
are a result of many things – child birth, stress, menopause,
additional pounds, or loss of weight. The reality is, that the
world can’t have a all size 5 women.
If we are a size 3, it seems we want to be a size 9 so we have a
fuller looking figure. If we are a size 9 we want to be a size
5. There’s just no making women happy. Add the media blitz on
the perfect body, it seems we are always feeling inadequate.
Not to worry, it’s quite easy to make yourself look a few pounds
lighter, or to accent your finer points and hide your not so
perfect body parts. There are also things you can do to make a
small frame look a little larger.
Just because you’ve gained a couple of extra pounds, you don’t
have to go looking for a moo moo to wear. Accentuating your
finer points is easier than you think. When you accent your good
points, the not so good ones fade into the background.
Use illusion to make yourself look two or three sizes smaller.
Choosing clothing to suit your shape, skin color, and lifestyle
can cut your wardrobe spending in half. Think about all the
things you can do with that extra money – buy more jewelry, or
how about some new pairs of shoes. After all us women can never
have enough of jewelry or shoes.
The average woman wears 25% of her wardrobe 85% of the time. So
what happens to the rest of those wardrobe items. Well they hang
in the closet gathering dust until they come back in fashion 10
or 15 years from now.
Because fashion changes so quickly, there is no point in
stocking up on most wardrobe items. Yes, there are the basics
that never go out of style such as classic black or white pants,
dresses, and skirts. Traditional blazers and tops. But the rest
of those wardrobe items will most likely be out of style in less
than a year.
So if you’re not going to wear it “right now” this “season,
leave it at the store. Even when an items on sale, it’s only a
deal if your actually going to wear it.
Here’s some tips to help you dress to look thinner:

are thinning Use one color in various shades from head
to toe Avoid large patterns and horizontal stripes.
Vertical stripes are okay as long as they aren’t too big.

belief they don’t make you look thinner. As well avoid bulky
sweaters. Use belts, accessories, and jewelry to draw
attention away from your troubled spots. Use flat cut
pants and skirts, as well as low rise pants Wear skirts
that fall just below the knees for longer looking legs

are large busted wear a full figure, well fitting bra

below the waist. Avoid shirts that tuck in. Asymmetrical
or tiered skirts will make your legs appear thinner and longer

draw attention to your face

extra pounds, don’t fret. Use these tips to make yourself look a

comfortable with who you are! Big or small your wardrobe,
makeup, hair, and jewelry can make a fashion statement that
won’t go unnoticed.
