Size doesn’t matter!

I repeat: Size doesn’t matter!  But shape does, and I’ll show you why…

You know that outfit you saw on the mannequin and thought would be perfect for your vacation? The billowy, peasant blouse that tented out over the skinny, cropped jeans? But when you put it on, instead of wistfully romantic, you felt awkwardly stout. I’ll tell you why…

Clothing doesn’t look the same on different body types (and “mannequin” is not a viable body type).

Actually, let’s get away from body types for right now. Because what we’re really talking about is called:

Proportion.

Balance is necessary for a flattering outfit. 

Not size. Size doesn’t matter. Whether a 2 or a 22, balance creates the most flattering shape.

It’s what professional stylists use to make their clients look their best. And you can use it too.

Whether your hourglass is fuller on top or bottom, or even if it doesn’t narrow in the middle, there are fashion tricks stylists use to create a more proportionate and flattering shape. 

Your body’s proportion is one of the most important aspects of your Signature Style.

As you explore proportion, you’ll correctly identify your shape and start to see that it’s not size, but balance that matters. You’ll learn the keys to visually enhancing your specific shape. The right shapes and lines can highlight your best assets if you know where to use and direct them (which you’ll learn in my transformational Master Class).
