08 Feb How to Look GREAT in your clothes!

Gok Wan of 'How to Look Good Naked'

Are you unhappy with the way you look?


Are you 5 or 10 (or 20 or 30)pounds more than you want to be?
Are you over 18?
Have you had a baby?
Are you opting for stretch Yoga pants instead of fitted clothing?
Do you want to avoid the plastic surgeon?
Do you want to avoid working out at the gym 2 hours a day to get results?
Are you tired of dieting?
……………………..
If you’ve answered yes to any of the above, you might have some issues with the way you look and perhaps you should give more thought on how to fit your clothes to your body.  You might be very surprised after you read this.

Do you have the right undergarments?      Are you wearing the correct size?

Are your clothes appropriate for your body?

What do you own? Flimsy bras you put through the wash (bras are to be hand washed!) No Spanx or body slimmers?   Get yourself down to the your local lingerie stores.  No, no, no not the sexy one with the skimpy little pink numbers, the one that your … Grandmother would have gone to. (Don’t cringe)   Maybe she went there for a reason and besides, they’re a teensy bit of a difference from they way they were back in the day.

Take a look at this Video below on the left  of the British show,  ‘How to Look Good Naked’ hosted by Gok Wan.  He’ll show you exactly how to pull your look together.

The Video on the right will show you how to buy the correct fitting bra from Brastop.com. You are going to want to watch this if your bra rides up above your shoulder blades,  if your back hurt at night, or if your shoulder straps cut into you. That screams WRONG BRA SIZE.   Once you get properly fitted, you’ll find that the breast reduction you were thinking about before is not necessary.  You will look as though you’ve lost 10 pounds with the correct bra!
