as a wardrobe consultant…a common scenario that i see…over and over…is someone wanting to lose that last 15 pounds before buying anything new…what ends up happening…usually…is that the person ends up wearing clothes that are too big…or too tight…
so what can you do?
whether it’s 20 pounds or 5 pounds…it seems all of us are reluctant to invest in our wardrobes until we’re at the ‘perfect’ weight…
the problem is…clothing alterations can only accommodate so much poundage…at which point…you end up wearing garments that really don’t fit you well…and here’s the really bad part of that situation…you end up looking BIGGER than you really are because your clothes don’t fit properly…
and really…who wants that?
so i have a couple of suggestions for you:
*if you are in the situation i described above…you NEED to purchase at least one staple outfit that fits you NOW(whether it’s a suit, pants suit, or coordinated separates.) as you lose the remaining weight at least you’ll be looking sharp…and when you reach your goal weight…then alterations can be made and your investment won’t have gone to waste…
*if you have that staple outfit that is your ‘go to’ while you’re losing those last pounds…there’s an easy way to update your look: a new top, sweater or accessory…these items are more adaptable to weight changes…and can give an instant “pop” to your style…
there is really no reason why you should look any other way other then fabulous…even when working towards your ideal weight…
