shopping
Have you tried the misses selections at different stores? This is the stinker-
If you are a larger size (OR TALL!!!) you end up paying a LOT more for your clothes if you want to be "stylish".
It's pretty hard when you aren't a popular size, but there are ways around it. You have to get creative. If you go one size up and make some of your own tucks or plunges, you get the look of a more expensive outfit. Also, a tailored look is much more becoming than frills. Determine what is the worst and what is the best. I have noticed tummies or arms can ruin "the look". The stretch tops draw attention to the wrong parts. There are so many wonderful examples in movies or award shows where writers/directors/actresses/actors of all sizes appear and look fantastic. Study them and see how they have taken a fad and adjusted it to them.
I was watching Princess Diaries last night. Julie Andrews no longer has the body of her youth, but boy was she elegant
in every scene. Now put that against Cher...I'd rather look like Julie Andrews any old day. Please, I know it FEELS like this helps,
but don't repeat the message to yourself. Instead of saying
I look horrible or something negative, look at your eyes and say
"DAMN, my eyes make me sexy." Or "My legs are wonderfully curvy". I deeply, repeat, DEEPLY believe if we let a negative thought enter our mind, like a magnet, that is what we draw to us.
For one week, choose to state every single thought in a positive light...then PM me. PLEASE?
