the sunday brief | how to dress 10 pounds slimmer

it’s that time of year when calorie counting flies out the window. at least for me. there’s nothing i love more than mashed potatoes or stuffing at thanksgiving. how about a  homemade snickerdoodle or russian teacake scored from a cookie exchange? so how do we hide that extra pound or two that’s inevitable to appear as we march through the holidays? today, i’ll share a few of my tried-and-true figure flattering secrets that help us look slimmer and shave off pounds.

monochromatic 

when matching your shoes, pants or skirt, and top there’s no visual break to the eye, creating a vertical line. think you don’t look good in black? add a pop of color around your neck with a scarf or blouse with a print.

skirt old (similar here and here); blouse old (similar here and here); sweater old (similar here and here); boots old (similar here and here); pearls

structured vest, jacket or blazer 

wide shoulders and crisp straight lines help diminish curves.
