Avoid The Dreaded Fashion Blunders
You've said it over and over again..."If I lose five more pounds, I can fit into these pants." But despite your best intentions or wishful thinking, those pair of pants remain either too short or too small. That shirt you had to have is still too tight and the button came loose. This year, avoid fashion pitfalls with a few easy fashion tips:
-If you are going to buy the pants that you hope to wear after losing your holiday pounds, put them away until they fit. Technically, you can pull those size 6 pants on, but the waist is tight and you've created a "muffin top," the extra flesh that spills upward. Don't wear pants that are too tight. Go with a the next size up and you'll not only look better in your clothes, you'll feel better.
-We all have our favorite t-shirts, but sweat stains on your t-shirts are unsightly. After awhile, the underarms of your tiny tees become yellow and dingy. If you're too attached to your favorite yellow-stained t-shirt, try soaking the shirt in a mixture of baking soda and warm water. Then, wash your t-shirt in cold water and dry completely. If the stain is still visible, it's time to ditch the tees for new ones and avoid this fashion blunder.
--Long pants are in fashion, and with the right flare, long pants can make short legs look long and slender. But beware of the shoe blunder. Don't you hate it when your pants get caught under your heel of an open-backed shoe? It's annoying, but also silly looking. To prevent this fashion faux pas, make sure the hem of your pants hangs about 3/4 inch down beyond your heel.
