YOU CAN LOOK GREAT TODAY!

The Fashion Fit Formula breaks the myths that prevent
Plus Size Women from looking their best!

In each grouping of pictures the woman on the left chose to cover her weight with a long top. However, when the top was put at her perfect Fashion Fit Formula length, she looks much taller, and thinner.

Very few women can actually wear black without their skin appearing dull, or sallow. Dark colors do not make you appear thinner, that is accomplished by having your clothing in perfect proportion to your bone structure. Enjoy the colors of the season, you will appear younger and more energetic.

The eye is drawn to the lightest and brightest spot. By taking the top to her Fashion Fit Formula adjusted waist point, the eye stops at a smaller part of her body. When the line was drawn across the hips the eye then focused on the widest part of her body.


 

TIP FOR THE MONTH

Whoever decided that Plus Size Women should wear big bold prints?

The print size is best determined
by the size of your bones.

 

Small Delicate Bones
The best size print for you
will be the size of your palm.

 

Medium Size Bone Structure
Using your hand as a guide
the print should be no larger
than from the bottom of your
palm to the first knuckle.

 

Larger Bone Structure
The largest print you will
look best in should not be
bigger than the size of
your hand.

 

 

 

Coming Soon 5 e-books
one for each body shape!

 

Dear Readers,

I have been overwhelmed with the
response to my blog. Some of your
experiences shopping for clothing
were funny, others touched my
heart as I have felt the same
feelings as I looked into the mirror.

Losing and regaining my weight has been a cycle of more than 15 years. Every week I would buy the Woman’s Day magazine at the supermarket check out. Their lead story is always someone who has lost a ton of weight. I would read the article and put it under my pillow expecting the motivation to jump into my head by osmosis. However, the week before Thanksgiving I was reading the first seven chapters of Living a Longer Healthier Life by Dr. Wayne Scott Anderson. That book was my “aha” moment! I can change NOW, not after the New Year but right now. You can do it too.

I have found that honoring me is part of the process. Take more time with your appearance for no other reason than to feel good about yourself.  Find your best asset and accentuate it. Add color to your black, or dark. A scarf, fun jewelry or anything that makes feel happy.

Thanksgiving was my first challenge. Being single, for many years I have found the holidays to be something I just had to get through. If I kept busy enough and surrounded myself with people, perhaps I wouldn’t realize how lonely I was.  The best thing about these times was that everyone had something good to eat, and for a few minutes that food psychologically satisfied me. This year would be different. I wore a bright red sweater with crazy trim, it’s hard to hide or feel bad when you are dressed in red.

Before dinner I kept a beautiful wine glass filled with water, a maraschino cherry and a slice of orange over the edge to look festive. By dinner, I wasn’t very hungry so it was easy to stop with one helping of the right food. I decided not to tell anyone (except you) what I was doing. Have you ever noticed the others instinctively rush to offer you food, if you mention a desire to change eating habits?

The first day of December means an entire month of festivities. Give your self a present, when you look into the mirror, find something to admire. Learning to like you more than the tempting calorie laden treats can be a fun a process and one we can take together. Please share with your thoughts, strategies and ideas with the rest of us. Email me and indicate whether I can share your thoughts in the column.
