The truth about me is I'm pretty chubby and I have an undesirable waistline which I am working on a 90 days challenge. Will update with you once I can. I am 5 feet 7 and used to weigh around 110 lbs to 115 lbs before having babies. With the first pregnancy, I gained 45 lbs and with the second pregnancy, Ibgained 40 lbs. I breastfed with both babies so I had no problem loosing most of my weight. I weighed 120 to 125 lbs after the first birthday of the second child. The problem started when I stopped breast feeding, meaning I stopped burning an extra if 500 calories a day. So, here is how I actually look, and how a suitable outfit can hide my problems (plural - many problems). 1. Fit and flare: As you can see, I purposedly chose a lot of fit and flare dresses as I believe the fit and flare will hide your belly, your hips and fatty thighs very well. The flare shape will help define your waistline. That is about the dress. There is a saying that pictures can add 10 lbs to you, but if you know how to pose, you can look 10 lbs slimmer. It is more about knowing yourself and knowing which angels will make you look slimmer. I like the 3/4 angel, both for my face and body. Taking pictures on one side could be very dangerous, like this: Here are my strategies: Pearl necklace, black mini dress worn as a T shirt, and red jacquar skirt for dinner at my crime buddy''s house made a very classy look. I bought this black minidress from H&M during their crazy sales last summer for $5. This skirt was bought in Vietnam for 250,000 VND which equal to about $12 USD. I borrowed my friend's necklace. The total cost for this look was just $17 which made me extremely happy!!! With Christmas inspiration, I thought of Red immediately. However, it would be quite boring for the whole family to red. Therefore, I decided to do mix and match. We only had an hour to take pictures before the kids started acting up. I prepared them with tights and the hair styles that would go with everything.
I bought my off-the-shoulders vintage dress from Modcloth last year and did get a ton of compliments. Of course, it became my top choice this year. Ivana, my older daughter is a very girly kid, and she loved her red dress that I bought for her on her Christmas show this year and had requested to wear this dress to take pictures. Elissa, her little sister is quite a character and she had that cute swing dress from Janie and Jack (that mommy wants to have one). The red and green combination reminded me of a Christmas tree. |
