The right
size bra?
Hanah, 29
Q.
How do I know if I am wearing the right size bra?
A. There are many signs to wearing the wrong size
bra, a few include: wires digging in, bulging over the top or
the sides of the cup, the centre of the cup not resting on the
chest bone (sternum), the back band too tight. These are the
most obvious signs, however, the only way in which you will know
for sure is by getting measured by a professional. Not only will
you discover the right size, you will learn the signs of good
and bad fitting bra's.

Be
focused when planning a
shopping trip,
don’t get distracted or be over ambitious about how much
you will get from one trip. |
|
Don’t wear the
wrong size clothes,
if in doubt leave it out. Clothes too small will be
unforgiving; clothes too big will make you look bigger. |
|
Light
reflects upwards. Make sure you wear your best
colours closer to your face to give a healthier
complexion. If the shade doesn't suit you it will make
you look sallow. |

Clean
polished shoes are an
essential finishing touch to your outfit. Don’t let your
dirty or tatty shoes drag you down! |

Too much
black?
Sandy, 46
Q. My friends tell me I wear too much black, I don't
know if it suits me and I would like to wear more colour, but
don't know how or where to start.
A. A massive 70% of clothes sold in the UK are black! You
are one of many.
A lot of people buy black because it's safe, it's slimming, it's
a non-existent colour. But that's not always true.
A lot of people get stuck in a 'black' rut and end up wearing
too much, getting used to the safety of it and it isn't the most
flattering of colours for every tone anyway.
You will need to find the right shades of colour to suit your
colourings. This doesn't mean you will have to ditch Black
completely, but start by wearing a little colour to compliment
the black (your best colours close to your face) and you will
gradually become used to it, knowing what does and doesn't suit
you, bringing you out of your black shell.
Keep Black for important/special occasions when you want to make
a statement (i.e important business meeting) or gently wow your
audience (i.e dinner party).
One of the best ways to start is to have a
colour consultation to
find exactly the right colours that suit you. |

When leaving the house check and double check your
appearance in the
mirror at
different angles; sitting, leaning and bending over.
Take a look at what other people might see when you do
this! |

Shop around for
Jeans.
Finding a pair of
good fitting jeans
is like the perfect fitting bra. Once you’ve found them
they will last a long time. Make sure they don’t show
that extra tyre, they fit snug around an ample bottom
and most importantly – they are comfortable.

|
Don’t be afraid of
accessories.
Adding a small touch can make a big difference and cost
less than a new outfit. |
|
|
|
| |
|
Avoid wearing a lot of
make up.
Remember – less is more. It’s not about quantity its
quality that counts, rather than dishing out for new
make up every week, buy a good quality brand where you
need less, it lasts longer and is generally kinder to
your skin. |
| |
|
Keep clothing
clean and fresh
looking, if your favourite shirt is dirty, don’t pull it
out of the wash basket for one last wear before it is
laundered, leave it be and find an alternative. To keep
up appearances maintain the look of your clothes at all
times. |
