More tips

Here are some tips & comments I've posted on Personal Style's FaceBook page www.facebook.com/personalstylenz

Figure Challenge: long waisted? Elongate your legs - opt for higher waisted clothes; slim legged trousers worn long; hosiery and slim heels which match skirt/trousers, belts to match your skirt/trousers.
Avoid anything low-waisted, patterned hosiery, capris and cuffed trousers.

The trouble with Fashion: a camel coloured trench coat does NOT suit everyone. Camel/tan is a warm colour so won't flatter cool-toned folk. Trench coats are double-breasted ie rather shapeless, which will make you look the same. Pockets and details add volume too (do you WANT to look bigger?)

How to shop UNsuccessfully: don't try on clothes. Buy for when you've lost weight. Buy something you feel uncomfortable in. Compromise so you haven't wasted your time :-(

Want to know what you REALLY wear? Try this for a month: everything you actually wear goes back in one side (eg Right) of your wardrobe. At the end of the month what you haven't worn will be on the other side (eg Left).
