You've got to...Accent-u-ate the Positive
Posted by Beth on 10/20/2011
Can I state the obvious? We women are really, really hard on ourselves. Brutal. We all have parts of our appearance that we criticize and focus on, obsess over. To us, these "flaws" are all we see. Not only does this affect our self confidence, but it also affects how we dress and carry ourselves.
Today I want you to try and focus on what you LIKE about your body and which assets you want to highlight.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
Is it your eyes? Try a scarf that compliments your eye color.
Your beautiful neck? Wear open collars and an attention-grabbing necklace.
Elegant hands? Wear strong nail polish in a bold, hip color along with a statement ring.
Killer cleavage? Wear a scoop neck t-shirt with your jeans.
A narrow waist? Tuck your shirt into flat front pants and add a belt to show it off.
A chic hairstyle? Add some cool, funky earrings.
Great legs? Highlight them in slim pants or a pencil skirt.
Strong arms? Wear a sheer long-sleeved blouse over a tank top.
Cute feet? Try strappy sandals and a great pedicure.
Direct attention where you want attention, and those perceived challenge areas will fade into the background.
