How to Dress Slimmer!
Painting: Salvadore Dali, Mannequin in Barcelona
Here are some dress sense tips to make you look slimmer. Remember though that confidence is everything. Wear that at all times! But for those days when you feel a little vulnerable, these quick tips can help lift you up!
1. Choose dark colors: Think black, grey and charcoal.
2. Choose undergarments wisely: Think control top pantyhose and body shapers.
3. Choose fabrics that don’t cling: (so satin is out), and so is bulky fabric for that matter (leave those heavy wool trousers in the closet).
4. Choose to accessorize: They’ll draw away from the rest of you. Opt for a colorful scarf or long necklace (it adds length to an outfit). Avoid short chunky necklaces.
5. Choose not to oversize: For that day when you’re feeling exceptionally large, avoid carrying over-sized bags or wearing that extra large belt. Keep it all scaled to your size. That way you won’t look large all over.
6. Choose to throw away anything with horizontal lines: While you’re at it, avoid large prints on your outfits as well as large buttons. Keep everything clean cut and minimal. This always creates a cleaner slimmer look.
7. Choose not to wear baggy clothes: They do not make you look slimmer, they make anyone look frumpy. Always opt for tailored clothes that hint at your curves without being too clingy.
8. Choose to flaunt your assets: If you’ve got it flaunt it. Draw attention to a body feature you’re proud of, from big eyes to curvy hips to shapely legs, dress in a way that brings out the best in you.

Fashion Tip: How to Wear a Sheer Blouse
Always wear a cami underneath your sheer for the office (lace trimmed is acceptable for the more adventurous).
Team it with a long-sleeve T-shirt and dress it down with jeans for that laid back weekend.
If you are going out for a night on the town, either allow your bra to show (sexy but not really classy), or opt for a strapless corset to accentuate those curves.

Whimsy ChiChi's Dos & Don'ts
DO Choose a coat that comes midway to your knees or slightly above, it will make legs look taller.
DON'T go for an eye-catching color unless you have the perfect fit and hem. The bold color will just attract to the imperfections.
DON'T match your purse to your hat. Really!
