It’s weekend!! Hooray!!  Here’s something cute to share with you guys. Have a nice weekend!

Awwwww…How sweet?? Love the part where she sprayed a ‘tick’ in the box provided!

It’s hard for people with excess weight to lose weight and what’s even harder is getting the right clothes for themselves. Trying to fit into that favourite shirt you’ve been dying to get and at the same time wondering if you’ll look good in it.

Here are some tips that might help to flatter your shape and create a slimmer you :

• Wear clothes that fit your size. Avoid wearing size 16 if you’re of size 20. This will only draw attention to bulges that you may not want to show off at this time. Do not wear clothes that are too loose either. They will just make you look bigger.

•  Do not fluff up your shirt too much after it’s been tucked in or tuck the shirt in too tight either. Always wear a belt and wear one that is wide and sturdy.

•  Buy clothes that fit best at the largest part of your body. Then have the clothes tailored to fit the rest of you. For example, if the largest area is around the waist, buy pants to fit that area and then have them taken in at the thighs, or have them hemmed shorter if they are too long.

•  Do not wear clothes with horizontal stripes. They’ll make you look wider. Vertical stripes will make you look longer and leaner. However, make sure the shirts and pants are the right size or the stripes won’t be as flattering as they could be. 

• Wearing your cell phones, PDAs and other devices on your waistline is a BIG NO NO. This will cause an illusion of a larger waistline. Keeping them in your pocket also won’t make any good as baggage in your pockets will make your hips look bigger.

• Pick your colors carefully. Bright colors and patterns should be your new enemy now as they will instantly make you look bigger than you already are! Instead, try dark colors to make your heavy sections look small. And if you have a heavy top, try switching to dark colored tops.

Hope these tips help in your next shopping trip! Good luck!
