Did you make a resolution to slim down in 2012 and have gotten off the beaten path since January 1st? Or maybe you have a big event coming up; Valentine’s Day date, formals, even PROM, and your goal is to accentuate those GREAT areas and down play those….not so great areas?

There are plenty tricks of the trade when it comes to Fashion, especially when you want to appear slim….even when you have a burger baby! The classic slim down trick is Black. It also happens to be my favorite color, but there are other ways to appease the eye without looking like a gothic princess ( not hatin’).

I read an article recently on Yahoo which disclosed some crafty approaches to faking thin until you make it thin; http://shine.yahoo.com/the-thread/fake-it-til-you-make-it–5-easy–slimming-wardrobe-pieces-to-wear-now.html.

My favorite thin techniques are: 1. Black 2. Drape Neck Cardigan 3. Long Hair 4. Good posture 5. Spray tan

Number 3 may seem crazy, but it’s so true. When your hair is long it elongates your face and upper body ( depending on the length) as well as provides slight coverage!

What are you favorite ways to fake thin?!

Fake it till ya make it,
