To make your shoulders look wider, we play some visual tricks. Blouses with lapels are great…leaving the top 2 or 3 buttons open and spread the collar/lapels out. The points of the collar draw the eye outward. Very slight padding in the shoulders of the blouse will also help. Tops with shoulder ornamentation are also good…epilates, ties, buttons, etc.

Wider shouldered jackets and those with exaggerated lapels are great! Go for some of the military styled jackets that are coming back this year…they usually have a lot going on to help shoulders look wider. In terms of bras, I love Victoria’s Secret. The IPEX bra with the wire is worth trying on because the shape of the cup naturally

lifts the breasts without padding. Try a few different models on and see which lifts you while also providing nice shape.

The long legs are a physical characteristic most women would kill for. So we’ll really want to accentuate them while playing down your waist. Exercise is going to help get your belly and waist back in shape but until then, here are some strategies. Short waited women need to avoid wearing tops tucked into their skirts or pants.

You want to call all attention away from the location and/or size of your waist so all tops need to be both long and worn out. Tunics are a great option. If you plan to wear a belt, it needs to

be low slung on your hips, not around your waist. No color changes can take place at waist level. We are looking for continuous color from your shoulders to your hips.

Go for longer jackets and avoid cropped tops of any sort at all costs! Also avoid fitted tops. We do not want rolls highlighted. Wear high heels as much as possible. Even though you are tall with nice long legs, nothing makes one look thinner than extending one’s visual line. Wear your trousers long and make sure there are no pockets, pleats etc to bulk up your mid section. Make sure your pants are paired with a long tunic top or long jacket….again, nothing tucked in.

In terms of

skirts, knee length or a bit longer is fine. Make sure there is no detail at the top…no tucks, gathers, pleats, etc. Look for a clean line skirt that is either straight or a-line. Details at the hem are fine. Go on the web site and look for some Companies that you think there clothes are nice. Here are some brands that you might want to try and look at on the net that you might think would be good to go with your body shape Great Bateau- Neck Tunic and some other coordinating pieces including a great skirt, cardigan, pants for the fall and winter.

Also look at the Off-shoulder swing tee…in fact, just cruise the site and see

if anything grabs you. In terms of dresses, I didn’t see anything that really grabbed me on some of the site that I went on. But maybe it is just me, but you could see for yourself.

I would recommend a faired sheath dress as your best option.They are a classic and the details, if any, are usually at the neckline or shoulders. Should be easy to find in department stores. Just look for something that has shape but is not form-fitting and just gently flairs as it reaches the hem. No cinched waists or belts. Go for darker colors as well.

If you find something two toned or multicolored, just make sure the color change does not occur at

or around your waist. So of the clothing out there will look like they don’t change color, but if you look good or if you have them in the right light then you can see that the color on the clothing will change. Just keep in mind that one day you will wear clothes that show off your body, then from that day on you can wear anything that will make you feel comfortable.
