Do you want to feel beautiful? Focus on your best features!

How often do you stand and look in the mirror, only to zone in on your figure challenges? “Ah, my bottom looks so big.” “My tummy is definitely not what it used to be!” “I wish I had longer legs”.

So often we only focus on the negatives, the things we don’t like about ourselves. Sometimes we can even get a bit obsessive about how bad we think our figure challenges are. This can make us a bit depressed, self-conscious, and insecure. It’s a bad cycle.



We are all different, we all have the body parts we try to disguise or camouflage. We have different body shapes. The key to looking good, and feeling confident, is to focus on your favorite features. 

 
Focusing on the positive rather than the negative makes you look at yourself in a different light. We each have features that we like about ourselves, and that’s good, it’s healthy. It’s not arrogant to admit that you have nice legs, or great hair. It’s good to be thankful for the positive things about ourselves.

So, I want you to think about your body. What are the 3 things that you love most about the way you look? Do you love your hair, do you have beautiful eyes? Do you have fabulous legs or a great bust? Each and every one of you is made beautiful. We need to celebrate our great features, and learn how to dress our figure challenges.

Looking great is all about working with your body shape, not against it. It’s all about creating balance, by camouflaging your figure challenges, and enhancing your favorite features. 



 
Color can hugely affect how proportioned you look. Knowing your body shape helps you to know what color to wear on what part of your body.

Here is my color rule: Wear darker, plainer colors on your areas of figure challenge, your larger half. Wear lighter, brighter colors and patterns or texture on your smaller half. The eye will be drawn to the lighter, brighter shades, and skip over the darker shades.
