Afiya!
I have a huge holiday party tonight
and I'm in a panic. I bought this dress in a hurry and I look like I put on 20 pounds.
You know what? I see what drew you to this dress but it's not doing
your figure any justice because you have a great body and I think this is actually adding a couple pounds.
A couple? I look huge! All this bulkiness. It just looked good on the hanger and I forgot
our rules for dressing slim and looking fantastic.
I know even as a Style Agents sometimes we do!
I think we need to head out to the mall and put all those key elements that make you look slimmer and figure out
a very figure flattering outfit for me for the holidays
Now Afiya and I know were going to find
some great holiday outfits at Femme Carriere there known for there slim lines and classic cuts. Let's go!
Afiya look! That's gorgeous I found some fun stuff for dressing.
But look at these fantastic cammies. Its got a lot of stretch in it.
And it'll flatten out any bra overhang. These leggings are super thick
so they are really going to pull you in
and you can layer a tunic or a dress over top.
We're at Forever 21 because we know they will have a lot of shine and sequins for the holidays
Afiya look at these great flesh tone pumps these will really lengthen the leg.
These are beautiful! Nice neutral.
Let's take them!
We're at five o seven clothing because we heard about these infamous jeans that they have.
Let's go check them out!
I think you found them!
Apparently these have four-way three sixty stretch so it keeps everything sucked in, tight, beautiful.
It's great too because they are a dark denim which is thinning
and the waist is slightly higher so you won't get the dreaded muffin top.
I think if we pair these with a sequin top or a jazzy shoe they will be perfect for the holidays.
I love it lets go try them on
ok sounds good
I love this outfit you know I really went for monochromatic which is slimming for everyone.
and keeping it to a dark shade.
I accentuated my good feature which I like the most which is my legs, I kind of showcased them off.
some of the things that I'm a bit sensitive about like my arms my bust and the old butt look
narrower because I fit into a slimmer cut dress
and then using the same belt that was on the last dress
kind of cinched in the waste to give me a bit of shape I feel so confident
its all about balance and proportion and that can be faked.
You've done a beautiful job adding the belt and the monochromatic black. Love it!
and then bring out the bling in these great shoes or a clutch like this
just any accessory really.
and in terms of bulk this skirt to me is a perfect example:
We loved this on the rack but in terms of reality I'm not too sure how this would play out.
Because anything that's puffy or tufted
can look better in accessories so we found this great clutch from H&M.
It's a nice alternative so you're still getting that hint of a trend without having to sacrifice your figure for it
I love this camel number from Femme Carriere Studio. This V-neck is so flattering on pretty much every shape, it's universal.
And what's nice is it keeps the arms covered and it doesn't cut them at
a point in your arm where its a little bit thicker, this is cutting you where your arm starts to narrow out.
Look for structured fabrics they are going to flatter anyones figure and always have a lining.
And that's what you want to pay attention to certain details add weight so ruffles
and draping that can add pounds where you don't want them to be.
You can take a tip from Angelina Jolie who always looks like she has
very slim legs.
These nude coloured heels from Forever 21 what they'll do is they will blend with your leg
and create a continuous line which will naturally make you look slimmer.
And lets see how our final look comes together
Janette and I couldn't resist a bit of sparkle for the holidays so we got this great sequin tank
from Femme Carriere
If you're self conscious about your arms
add a long lean jersey knit cardigan it will create a slim silhouette.
And this black
fully lined skirt with a darted waistband will slim any figure.
For an extra hit of shine to your outfit that doesn't add any weight look to your accessories.
I love these jewelled heels from Nine West outlet and the bedazzled clutch from Forever 21.
