Accentuate the positive and skim over the negative!
Buy things that are going to flatter your best parts, from a great color, to a great neckline and a flattering fit.
I can't tell you what a difference it makes when a woman who has accepted who she is trys on clothes and stands tall and feels good with a new fresh look. Compare that to the woman who constantly complains about her body (and usually these are not big women). It's much harder to make her look good with her slumped over shoulders, as she critizies herself from every angle and walks out dejected.
Even if you plan on addressing those not so good parts in the future, this is who you are today; to look your BEST, just go with it, enjoy your new outfit today and tackle the challenges another day. We all need that boost that we can only get with acceptance of ourselves. When we present a confident look, we look beautiful to others whatever our size.
Look at these two pictures of Sommer and Meilee', their sheer confidence and acceptance of themselves, makes them beautiful! And of course the great outfits from Minx don't hurt!
On a related note, I saw a gal being interviewed on TV, who had just lost her job and was trying to interview for new ones. She was expressing how, you feel so low, cuz you just lost your job, but you have to put on this strong confident face when you interview. "You have to SELL yourself" she said, "and inside you're a mess". So if you find yourself in this position, for that day or half day, find a way to set aside your insecurities, remember what you're good at, and remember how it feels when you're at your best. Put on a smashing outfit that shows your unique style of professionalism and dazzle them with all that is the BEST OF YOU!
Show them your CONFIDENCE in YOU and they will believe it too!
Be Strong Girl!
