How to Look Slimmer while you Diet

Most peoples New Years Resolution is hands down, to lose weight. With that being said, weight loss is a process that shouldn't be crashed upon and in the meantime you still want to turn heads when you walk in a room right? I mean no need to climb into this shell until you get the picture perfect body. I'm gonna show you how you can make yourself look slimmer with just some minor alterations.

Pictures
Now if you know me, they say I'm always ready to pose for a picture and they are right! But there is a science to it as well. To minimize your frame while taking a picture,always go for a side shot. In addition,you want to suck in your stomach, push your shoulders back and, cross one leg in front of the other. It sounds complicated and may feel weird at first but it actually works. Beyonce is one that pulls this off so effortlessly that I swear she hops out the bed like this. Try it in the mirror a few times before you actually pose for a real picture so that you look comfortable.
Loose vs. Fitted?
I think its naturally assumed that when your trying to mask something that you are to wear clothes that are two times too big to achieve the look. Well in some cases like a baby bump you can get away with a empire waist type top to hide your budle of joy. But in the case of trying to tone down the bulge of arms and legs, not so much. When trying to hide your thunder thighs til they are where you want them to be, go for darker colors and heavier materials but not necessiarly looser. I promise, if you wear some black straight leg trousers with a full sweater that hits at the hip with lets say, a tapered waist line or belted waist,you will thank me later. You are still to look like a woman at all times regardless of where you are in your quest to lose weight.
To take attention off of your arms avoid wearing blouses and sweaters that draw attention to what your trying to hide. Shirts with shoulder pads and puffy materials around the arms will make you look fuller up top. As an alternate,go for dolman sleeves that flare out and are not form fitting. With this,your arms are masked and you cant tell how big they are either way. This works for small and big girls alike!

Long over Short and Short over Long
Here is a basic concept that will help alot of people. This is a fail proof method that helps almost anyone. Long over short for example, would be wearing a pencil skirt that hits above or right at the knee with a long jacket or tunic that comes past it. Another way to rock long over short would be to wear some super skinny jeans that look painted on,with a long tunic. Short over long would be wearing a cropped jacket or cardigan with a dress that comes to your knees fitted or A-lined. Think a leather jacket with zippers and buckles with a solid color dress that has minimal detail. This gives your waistline definition and is a really sexy look.

Strips
There is a wrong way and a right way to wear strips. The wrong way is to wear Huge vertical strips in one long continuous fabric. The right way to do it is to wear thin horizontal strips in a not so loud color. Get neons out your mind. Epic Fail!! When wearing a stripped dress, make sure that you tone everything else down. Weather permitting,wear some dark tights with shoes in the same color of the tights,this is lenghting as well as slimming. Dont feel the need to wear lots of accessories and heavy ornate jewelry with strips. The strips draw enough attention and you dont want to go too hard by loading on everything from braclets to earrings,rings etc....
