( taken from Cynthia Nellis from Woman’s Fashion )
 
     
 
Why choose liposuction when you can hide a few extra pounds with easy fashion tricks? You can still wear the latest trends and look great. Just follow our easy, flattering tips.
 
     
  1) Body Slip
A "must" under today's body-conscious looks. This one-piece body slimmer from Nancy Ganz can even go strapless.
 
   
  2) Soft layers
Keep your layering pieces lightweight whether you choose two tank tops, an open blouse over a tank top or other combo.
 
   
 
3) Stilettos
High heels with pants give you amazing length and sleekness in your legs. Sandals and pumps with 2 1/2 to more than 3 inch heels will do the trick.
 
 
 
4) Pantsuit
Dressing in all one color is a sure-fire flatterer. Choose longer jackets to hide larger bottoms; add a sexier cami or blouse to soften the look and draw attention to the face.
 
 
 
5) Oversized
    handbag
Sounds too good to be true, but proportion can play tricks on the eye. Choose a shape that flatters (square shapes complement a rounder figure) and a strap length that doesn't land in a problem area (don't let the bottom of the purse rest on full hips).

  Tips on colour choices

  Here are some tips so that you can wear colour to your advantage:  
     
 
If you are timid or shy, wear red or strong colours and others will perceive you as more assertive while you are still being you.
 
 
 
 
When considering colour for business, conservative is best - especially when meeting a new client - don't overwhelm them. Avoid white except in shirts and blouses for work.
 
 
 
 
Beige and grey elicit a tailored and professional image and are great colours to incorporate into your outfit with prospective clients because you're perceived as approachable.
 
 
 
 
Choose a muted pastel as opposed to pinks, baby blues and yellow in business apparel since that is appropriate for office wear and looks decent.
 
 
 
 
Black is best for formal attire as in suits and for evening events.
 
 
 
 
Navy makes everyone look good and communicates individual authority. It's great for classic suiting as well as sportswear. The maritime look has always and will continue to always be in fashion.
 
 
 
 
Red, green and blue in assorted tints and shades are suitable for all occasions; however, straight green is not appropriate for the work place. Try olive, teal, or sage.

Otherwise known as a monochromatic colour scheme, colour is wavelength and when wearing two different colours, the eye has to stop briefly to adjust to the different wavelength. When wearing colours from the same colour family the eye doesn't have to adjust.
