These are the common clothing mistakes that add weight to women.
Avoid:
• Pleats on pants, they will add inches to your stomach.
• Ruffles anywhere because they add volume.
• Bulky fabrics. Chose closely knitted fabrics, instead.
• Wide horizontal stripes – they will make you look wide!
• Wide belts – thin ones are better.
• Raglan sleeves – they will make you look like a football player.
Follow these tips when deciding on your new clothing choices and you will be removing weight from your body shape.
Have you ever selected clothing items because you like the color or the style on the hanger but when you put the clothing on, it does not fit or it makes you look bigger than you are?
Here are some wardrobe tips to enhance your body:
• Top heavy – like a stalk of broccoli. Good choices: tailored jackets and V-neck tops will slim you. Bad choices: fussy tops and big prints.
• Middle heavy –like the cauliflower. Good choices: Wrap style dresses and blouses (blouses ending below your stomach). Bad choices: Short jackets. Stay away from anything that will draw attention to your waist.
• Bottom heavy- like the turnip. Good choices: A-line skirts and maxi style dresses (that flow slightly under your bust). Bad choices: blousy tops and flowing skirts.
When you look in the mirror and the first impression you feel is that it does not look good, don’t buy it. If you are nervous about it, bring a friend who has a good eye.
The question keeps coming up for women – do I have to wear hose? Of course, the answer is obvious if it is cold outside (around 40 or below), wear stockings. It is when the weather gets very warm, you have nice tan legs and they do not look too fleshy that you can opt not to wear hose. However, if you are making a major presentation and wearing a skirt, hose would be more appropriate.
The tweet can be your best friend or worst enemy. In today’s 24 to 48 hour new cycle – negative things spread like wild fire. Never tweet when you are emotional and want to share a grievance. Use Twitter to promote positive thoughts. I know some of you want the world to know what you are up to. That’s ok if you always do it in a positive manner.
