Many women already know, if you have a physical feature that you don’t want people to look at, you show them something else that’s more impressive.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s the overweight issue.

Here’s some hints to deflect people away from looking at areas you don’t want them to:

1. Wear solid colors
2. Don’t wear things that cling, knit fabrics tend to show more faults than others
3. Make sure your hair and make-up are always perfect
4. Make sure your nails are always manicured
5. Wear trendy shoes (Christian Louboutin shoes, $550.00)
6. Buy trendy handbags (Marc Jacobs bag, $1395.00)



7. Wear Big Rings and Bracelets
8. Wear classic silhouettes with straight lines

Here are some things to avoid:

• Stripes going around the area of concern
• Bright colors on the area of concern
• Small scarves or necklaces on a big neck
• Small rings and bracelets on large hands and wrists
• Short skirts
• White Hose

Everything (accessories) should look proportionate to your size. If everything is in the right scale for you, nothing will appear glaringly large.

I have a good friend that is overweight. She dresses like she’s the most glamorous woman in the world. You don’t really even notice that she’s bigger than she would like to be.

Accentuate the positive.
