How to Effortlessly Look 10 lbs Thinner!

Looking "thinner" is all about looking taller and balanced. A balanced body is what we've learned to call an "hour glass figure". Shoulders and hips of equal size with a smaller waist.

Five Tips to Effortlessly Look Taller and Balanced:

Even if we don't have this shape, it's easy to fake and here's how:

1. Wrap Dresses or Tops - These options create the impression of a smaller waist.

2. Belted Cape or Sweater- Wear a thick belt to make the waist look smaller.

3. Skip the Flap-Pocket on Jeans- If you need to add some padding to your rear, wear a flap on your pocket. Otherwise, don't, and save yourself from increasing the size of your derriere.

4. Skip the Knee High Boots - These shorten your legs visually, making you look short and stout. Matching your tights and skirt to your black boots, for example, is one way to salvage the use of your boots. The monochromatic effect will lengthen you again.

5. Skip the Cropped Pants - Like the boots, these visually shorten your legs. I like long shorts over short pants. Wear shorts to your knees but not pants to your mid calf. Your leg looks 12" shorter and that's a bad thing.
