Dressing for your weight!

Is that show "What Not to Wear" still on TV?  I feel like half my wardrobe would of been trashed by Clint and Stacy immediately!

A couple tips for us all:

-Pick pieces that draw the eye to your best features.  Awesome legs?  Try a dress or long slim pants.  Curves that rock?  Try a top that cinches at the waist!  

-Wear fitted clothing!  Baggy clothes don't actually hide the extra weight and make you look bigger AND less self confident.  Find clothes in the correct size that fit well.  Avoid relaxed fit pants, and darting shirts that give you no shape! Bonus tip: mid rise jeans can flatten the stomach and act a bit like a shaper!

-Don't be afraid of color!  Bright colors attract the eye, so use them on the features you love the best and the parts you want people to notice first.  For example, a bright top with dark jeans will draw the eyes up!

-Don't allow for big patterns.  For some reason, clothing manufacturers like to put big people in huge flowers and dots.  Don't do it.  


-Accessories! Large pieces or chunky chains stand out beautifully on bigger bodies!

-Larger handbags will help balance out a bigger body.  A tiny crossbody might look awkward, where a nice hobo bag is trendy and looks more proportionate
