Guest guest Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 AND THE WINNER IS... Monday, 06 February 2012 Oh, it's awards show season. From The Golden Globes, to the SAG Awards to the grand daddy of awards shows, The Academy Awards, seems there's another awards show on TV just about every week this time of year. I guess Los Angeles is the "Awards Show Capitol of the World." But I'd rather watch the s on TV than see them in person at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. Because you're overweight, you figure there's no way you can ever look so good in the clothes you wear. Right? Wrong! One of the premiere events of any awards ceremony is the red carpet "pre-show" where the big name celebrities strut their stuff showing off their designer outfits and fine jewelry. My friend, Joan Rivers, is often there to cheer them on. Versace, Donna Karan, Gualtier...all of the top designer's fashions are worn at the awards shows by various celebrities. You may be sitting at home wishing you could look like one of them. But you figure, because you're overweight, there's no way you can ever look so good in the clothes you wear. Right? Wrong! Just because you're overweight doesn't mean you can't be "Red Carpet Ready"! Trust me, those celebrities have to follow all kinds of rules to make sure they look fabulous. And...there're a few rules you should follow to look your best, too. No matter what you weigh! Like... Favor clothes with horizontal stripes. Contrary to popular belief, studies done by a professor at the University of New York found that vertical stripes actually make a person appear larger. He noted that horizontal stripes make the person wearing them look taller and thinner. (Who knew?) Choose dark colored clothes, especially black. Choose dark colored clothes, especially black. Darker colors have a slimming affect on the body. Avoid wearing lots of white as white will make your body look wider. Choose fabrics that are comfortable and stretchy, such as cotton. Shiny fabrics tend to show off curves and make them stand out more. Opaque colors, which are usually flatter but can still be flatter-ing, tend to make your body look tighter. Next time you need to go shopping for new duds, plan to bring along a friend you trust, who'll be honest about how you look in the clothes you try on. She can help you choose outfits and colors that best compliment your body's features and that look good on you! In the best dressed category, may I have the envelope, please... Hey, you may still be working hard to lose weight and that's a good thing. But meanwhile, it doesn't mean you can't look as good as those little Hollywood starlets parading down the red carpet. Ahem! In the best dressed category---and may I have the envelope, please. The winner is...YOU! Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
