|Wear darker blouses and pants if you want to appear slimmer. Dark colors help emphasize your good parts and tone down the overweight extras you don't want people to notice. You should wear skirts with elastic waistbands if you are concerned about comfort.

|Coloring your hair at summertime is a good way to add some fashion to your ensemble. Make sure, however, that you do what's necessary to maintain the health of your hair. Spend the money on a solid conditioning treatment meant for colored hair, and use it religiously to keep your color pure and your hair looking healthy.

|Pay attention to sizes. This means that, no matter what it is, you need to try it on before buying it. Today's sizes aren't based on any standard measurements. Some brands have very different sizes from one another. If you want to buy clothing online, be sure to locate the sizing chart. Also look into their return policy.

|If you have problem with frizzy hair, do not use a towel to rub your hair after shampooing. You will just damage your hair and make it frizz more when you do this. You are just going to want to cover it with a towel and push down to get moisture off. When you are happy, brush and comb your hair.

|Avoid any horizontal stripes if your weight is higher. This puts emphasis on how wide your body is, making it look even wider. Instead, pick a pattern that is linear or vertical which can make you look thinner.

|Be careful when using mascara, and do try getting more product on the brush by pushing it carefully into the container. It will not get more product on the brush, and will trap air inside the bottle. This ups the odds of bacteria growing in it. Move your brush within the container as a safer alternative.
