I've rediscovered the Readers Digest while waiting for my husband's many root canals visits at the local dentist recently. An interesting article by Joe Kita in the April 2009 issue p. 123-131 caught my eye...How to Hide Anything...from your personal info on the Internet to a few extra pounds on your hips. . Now that just about sums up all of our concerns doesn't it? Just kidding.
As I'm loosing a few pounds, I'm starting to take more interest in my clothes and appearance so I decided to peruse the articles for some tidbits for my blog and my own use. It's easy to look 10-15 pounds lighter by following these ideas: lay off the looser clothes look (as in BAGGY)-wear tailored but not tight outfits, bisect with a belt-it creates a shorter torso and a longer leg line which makes you look taller and leaner.

The same logic applies to shirts, instead of letting them hang around your thighs, keep them at the top of your hips or higher to preserve a slimming leg line.
If you're not happy with your bottom half, don't wear bold bracelets that call attention to it when your arms are down. Instead, wear a bold necklace or earrings that draw the focus upward, and lastly consider a car coat that hits above the knee and is tailored at the shoulder. Then wear it open in order to recreate a strong vertical line to give you a nice slimming silhouette. Just a few ideas to try out as we all celebrate SPRING'S arrival.
