Considering skirts

The magic of the skirt:
Being fat does not limit the variety of your wardrobe! Know that skirts can actually give your lower part a tulip shape. This means that if your thighs are heavy (like mine) they're going to be hidden in the magical fall of the skirt. Skirts look as decent and elegant when worn casually as when worn at your friend's party! So wearing skirts to work is pretty much normal, even for business-women. :)

Knee-long and ankle-long skirts are both equally appreciated. I would antagonize the statement given by Patricia in one of her shows (one or two years back) that ankle-long skirts make you look like a "tea-lady" by saying that it is entirely upto an individual to decide which or both suit them best.

Now, deciding the colors is not a problem! Firstly, it depends on your taste for bright or dark colors. Moreover, its your personality that dares you to wear bold colors or go for more neutral hues.
Then, just go to the store and start trying the skirts on!
Note:It is not a fixed fact whether bright colored skirts will add to the elegance or dark tints. It is again dependent on your shape and personality.

Bet you already know: When you go for printed skirts, nothing will hurt but horizontal designs, including patterns, stripes, sequins et cetera. However, looking good is also a priority, hence not including them in your wardrobe would be sheer cruelty to yourself if they suit you!

And the shoes?
Heels are most recommended with skirts, but when you're going casual, platforms can serve the purpose pretty well. Try not going for sandals with skirts, for it can make you look shorter. Most professional ladies prefer coat-shoes, which is excellent.
Note: Common joint problems (like arthritis) limit foot-wear. In that case, platforms are suitable. If that is a problem too, short and broad heels are quite okay. =)

Lastly, match your skirt up with a shirt of desired length, and step in that office with a new-built confidence!

Are you fat? You must look good the way you are!!

It is really hard for most people to get a decent look when their tummy's sticking out or the armholes of a beautiful dress wrap way too tightly around the biceps. This is what you should obviously do:

• Get a loose, casual style for yourself.  I don't mean that you should dress yourself in bags, but wear something that is slightly loose yet stylish. Your dress can include pleats, yolks, baggies et cetera. (anyway, nowadays all kinds of styles are in, so your fashion statement is never out-dated)

• Be your own designer. Do not just stick to what stores offer you, but in your own creation you can fascinate everyone. Work your mind on which-cut-makes-my-tummy-look-flatter (like the A-lines) or does-the-low-neckline-make-my-chest-look-better or maybe-the-baggies-help and so on.

• Spend more time infront of the mirror observing the positive points of  your physique. As you look, think about how you can make them more prominent through your dressing.

Note: Do not complain thus:- "Oh,I don't have anything beautiful about me" because it is a complete lie. Most importantly, do not kill youself with any kind of complex. Obesity is a very common problem, so you're not just the one suffering.

• Although it is said that dark colours make you look thin, it is more important that the colours of your clothes match with your skin tone.
• Prefer carrying big bags, as they can hide the parts you dont want people to note by changing the length of the strap! (now ain't that clever :p)
• When it comes to jewellery, you can try a thin, shimmery necklace, that can be a really simple chain. Avoid choker necklaces (they're uneasy anyway). Stop wearing short earrings (or tops) and go for longer and thinner ones that are prominent on your face (they even add to your personality). In short, give yourself a more delicate look.
• Open your hair more often.

 Dressing up is all about feeling good. Lastly, it's the confidence that counts! =)

Good news for the plus-sized!
