I’ve been watching “What Not to Wear” a lot in the past few months. Their advice is sound and I’ve been taking it to heart.
1) Buy good quality clothes that fit the body you have now.
2) Shoes that have a slightly pointy toe are slimming (I have a size 10 foot and would NEVER have bought them in the past!)
3) Get your clothes altered/tailored so they fit you properly
4) Wearing all black isn’t slimming, it’s depressing.
