How To
Dress Thinner?
So many of my Weight Watcher friends
(I'm a lifetime member) have asked me this question. Especially those
who are near their goal weight.
Rule 1:
The most slimming look (for
anyone) is a single color from top to bottom. If you want to
punctuate the look with another color, like a vibrant blue or green
from this spring's latest pastels, do it as an accessory. A fabulous
lime green bag or scarf will add punch to a navy blue pants/jacket
outfit or dress.
Rule 2:
Pants and shirts should taper
slightly rather than flare out. The newer, slim pants are the best.
They give the leg a longer, leaner look.
Rule 3:
A jacket should have a waist
and will do more for your silhouette than a boxy one.
Rule 3:
Shoes should have a heel. While
I am a shoe fanatic and love high heels, you should wear what is
comfortable for you. You may want to go for a low heel which is much
more flattering and gives you better balance than a flat. And,
please throw away your "ballet flats" or, if you insist on
wearing them do it only with tights.
The biggest mistake heavy women make is to wear something that is big,
long and billowy. Shapeless clothes only emphasize your shape. Look at
Oprah. Even when she was at her heaviest, she never wore a tent.
Remember to stand tall, lift your chin and walk with confidence and
you'll look "smashing" and exude confidence.
Tips if you travelling
o Carry roomy bags,
forget the little bag. They're best left for teenagers.
o
Wear a narrow
metal belt. Slim chains narrow the waist and look better than heavy
leather belts.
o
Shoes with high heels make your leg look lean and
longer. Three quarter length jackets give the impression of long and
lean.
o
Forget the bolero and scarf jacket. That went out years ago.
