Faith. Hope. Love. ♥

The all time, Best ever, Never Fail, A number one figure do:
Learn to love your body, flaws and all

Figure it out

Do...

*Buy elastic- waist pants and skirts-they're more comfortable
*Emphasize on your best feature: Legs?..wear short skirts! (flaunt ur assets)
*Wear loose, comfortable clothes in soft, drapery fabrics. They're forever forgiving (it's important that u are comfy on what your wearing)
*Road test bodyshaper pantyhose before you wear them
*Buy a supportive bra- everything will fit better( invest on a good set of bra and undies, it's cute if ur bra and undies are match)
*Choose belts that match your pants for an unbroken line
*Opt for pinstripes rather than wide vertical stripes (coz vertical stripes will make u look bigger while pinstripes will gonna make u look thinner)

Do...

*Make sure your hemline suits your legs:
If u love your legs, anywhere above the knee is fine. (Above midthigh is pushing
it, though, no matter what your legs look like.)
*For heavy legs, go for below the bottom of the calf
*Treat yourself to a new outfit when u lose a few pounds
*Make sure u have one outfit that u know you'll feel good in-even on "fat" days

Don't...

*Wear a skimpy dress unless you're sure that you look good in it-absolutely sure!
*Fall victim to the whims of fashion and wear ultrawide-leg pants-especially if
your petite
*Reveal too much when you wear leggings. Even if your rear end is supertoned,
always wear a top that covers it

Figure Fantasy vs. Figure Fact

*Big, bulky clothes will hide my figure (they'll also add pounds to it)
*Prints will make me look bigger (No..as long as the print is small)
*Buying a size too small will inspire me to lose weight (Maybe, but it's more likely that you'll never wear it)

Investments

*Good eyeglass frames. Don't however wear them on a clunky chain around ur neck. If u must, choose something a little more subtle
*A good versatile scarf that goes with the colors that u wear most. And look for silk crepe versions. They're usually easier to tie and more likely to stay that way
*A well made jacket in a 3season fabric--light weight wool or gabardine
*A good bag that would last for years, big enough for all your essentials, but not too big
*At least one well made pair of pants ( or a skirt for that matter) that you can wear for three seasons( By the way pleats are fine as long as they're not stiff
*A pair of classic pumps Look for: leather, heels no higher than 2 inches, and a natural, versatile color like black, navy or ivory(so no matter what color u wear ur pumps would match it nicely)
