Look
Better Without Having To Lose Weight

Most of us desire
to improve our looks immediately without trying to hassle with
another weight-loss diet that could take us months to get to our
ideal weight. Whether you are top-heavy, or carrying a little
extra padding around your waist or hips, you do not have to feel
frumpy anymore.
Rule no 1:
Accentuate your positives!
When searching for clothes, look for sari blouses or
tops that enhance your facial features and chest area (but
not in a trashy way). Choose flattering colours for your
skin tone and accessories (jewellery and hair accessories)
that direct a viewer's attention away from those features
that you are self-conscious about. |
Rule no 2:
Conceal the negatives!
Avoid clothes that draw attention to what you feel are
your negative features. For instance, avoid clothing that is
too tight -- that will overemphasis your features such as
tight jeans or lycra tops, light coloured pants / skirts,
especially if you favour dark tops. A general rule to follow
is the rule that your tops should not be darker than your
bottoms. Especially if you are well endowed in the hip area.
Another good rule is, at the very least, you should match
colours of tops and bottoms. If not, draw attention to the
upper waist area by wearing dark coloured (not necessarily
black) pants / skirts and vibrant coloured tops, with or
without prints. |
Rule no 3:
Come out of hiding!
Get rid of those clothes that make you feel the most
frumpy! Eliminate restricting sari blouses, and baggy pants
and T-shirts from your wardrobe! These things tend to draw
attention to your physical shape and only serve to make you
feel more self-conscious. A more open collared top, maybe a
V-neck or a crew neck. Tops that reveal a little shoulder,
can make you feel 10 times better.
It opens up the area around your face, so that even without
makeup, you can feel sexy. If you must have something
concealing your neck, try a scarf. Scarves have a tendency
to draw attention away from those negative spots and allow
others to focus on your beautiful smile. In fact, the
shorter the scarf (just slightly bigger than a
handkerchief), the foxier you will look and feel. Try sheer
/ print scarves...very soft and feminine. |
Rule no 4: If
it makes you feel frumpy...don't wear it!
If you feel self-conscious, you can't feel comfortable and
much less, sexy. First of all -- find a style you are
comfortable with. If you wear salwar kameez (which one
admits are very comfortable), forget fabrics with writing,
etc., on them. Find fabrics with solid colours or with
complimentary patterns on them. The kameez should be long
enough to cover those 'trouble spots'.
When choosing a style, they should not be constricting or
too clingy. There should still be room to breathe, although
not too baggy. |
Rule no 5:
Take your time and take a friend
When shopping, take the time to try on clothes before you
leave the store. Take a friend along who can be objective in
helping you find clothes to compliment your shape. If 'sexy'
or 'foxy' is what you're looking for, why not bring your
spouse along? Put on a little fashion show in the changing
booth area for your significant other. Who said shopping
should not be fun for your other half.
An understanding and loving partner will be supportive and
may aid you in finding outfits (party clothes, lingerie)
that you feel comfortable in and that you both find sexy.
Once again...be honest with yourself. If it makes you feel
frumpy, don't buy it! Don't waste your valuable fashion
money, and valuable closet space on clothes that you wear
once and then never again. Take your time.
Keep in mind, no matter what your size, clothing should be
functional, yet comfortable. Your clothes should compliment
you. Don't be afraid to experiment a little...a print here,
a little bright colour there...Pastels look good on just
about anyone. They give your shape a softer look, regardless
of your size. You don't have to look frumpy anymore! Wear
clothes that make you feel comfortable, but accentuate your
positives and conceal your negatives. |
