Fashion Makeover

Here's some fashion makeover tips that will make you slimmer immediately.

1. Carry a large purse. Believe it or not, the perception difference that can be obtained from carrying a larger handbag can actually make you appear more svelte when combined with some of the other tips below. If you have a rounder figure, opt for a square shaped bag. Also, watch the length of your straps so that your purse doesn't rest at an unflattering spot.


2. Go mono-color. Using like colors from top-to-bottom will give you a slimmer appearance every time. Jackets that drape longer down your figure will accentuate your height and slim you down as well.


3. Go with the heels. Not only will being taller give you a slimmer appearance, but it will also add tone and sleekness to your legs. Go with 2" to 3" heels for the best overall effect.


4. Keep your layers soft. Combine a couple of light layers such as a button-down shirt over a tank top to break up your frame.


5. Check out a body slip. Often considered a "must" for the modern woman wanting to slim her body image, some body slips are even strapless.

Sometimes a fashion makeover doesn't have to take much.

1. Play to your best features. If it's your eyes, then accentuate them with some mascara. If you have great lips, then get inventive with lip shades and glosses. You never know what works for you until you try!


2. Mismatch for some unexpected fun. Toss together two pieces of your wardrobe that you never before thought would go well together. Sometimes you will discover an entirely "new" outfit that you never knew existed!


3. Do your own thing. Sometimes just having fun and being relaxed can be all the makeover you really need. When you're enjoying yourself you really do give off a glow and an aura of confidence that shines through.

A fashion makeover is probably much, much more attainable than you may believe. Here are 6 fashion makeover tips to get you started:

Admit you need a makeover. This may be the hardest part, but the sooner you recognize that you can make a change for the better, the quicker you will be enjoying your new style.

Believe in yourself. Looking your best means feeling your best. And when you believe that you can look great then you're truly most of the way there.

Choose a fashion icon. Find someone - a celebrity, a model, anyone - who has a fashion style that you like. Mix in your own flavor with theirs and you can really sharpen up your style!

Learn about fashion. Check up on the newest fashion blogs, read the latest fashion magazines, and check out what the stars are wearing on celebrity gossip shows. You can always find ways that you can implement their style touches into your own style.

Don't fall for everything. Just because something is "in style" and trendy doesn't mean that it's necessarily right for you. Go for looks that are complimentary now and will be a year from now. And always make sure that they flatter you.

Don't forget your face and hair. An updated haircut, style, or even a little color can go a long way. And makeup tips can be found just about anywhere online. Take a few minutes to get creative and you may find that you will be putting on a brand new face with your new sense of fashion!
