So hey awesome ones, Heather here. I have a question for you. Are your style choices making
you look heavier? Well today I have some styles for you and they're going to help you look slimmer.
Like right now I've got 10 tips and I also have the do's and the don'ts. You know I know you really
love to see the comparisons I can't wait to show you this video. It all starts in just a few seconds.
Now just before I get into this video I want to let you know this is in no way a body shaming kind
of video. Hey back in the day I used to be a skinny bulimic model and I don't want to go back to that
person. I eat right. I exercise but I've got still a little bit of weight I want to hide and that's
what this video is all about. Just helping you with fashions look a little bit more slender. And with
the first tips they're going to entail tip one, tip two, tip three and tip four. Let's take a look.
So here I am wearing an outfit where I'm probably thinking in the morning let me just put something
on that won't make me look heavy today. And this is what a lot of us come up with but there's four
aspects of this outfit that we can change to make us look a lot thinner. Let's take a look. So here I
am and I'm looking taller and leaner and some of the tips are well number one I'm wearing my size
and that really really helps. You know those oversized looks they just make you look heavier.
The second tip that I have with this outfit I love this top by the way is the empire waist. The empire
waist kind of hides my tummy a little bit which I like but it still looks very very fashionable.
And the third tip is a v-neck. You know if you have a bit of a v-neck and it kind of points
downwards so again it's kind of making this part of you look a little bit more attractive and if
that's one of your good features then of course you want to emphasize it a little bit more.
The fourth tip is the pants. Now I know that baggy pants are really trending right now but what I'm
wearing right now is a tighter pant as long as . my butt is covered it's very very attractive And
or you could wear maybe a legging style but yeah I think this looks much slimmer and I'm actually
wearing that blue top that I had in the video. I absolutely love it and if you kind of love it too
I'm going to be putting links underneath the description and also in the comments for some
of the new outfits that I'm wearing. By the way if you kind of like this kind of video I also do
makeup and skin care and self-care. I would love you to come on down and subscribe to the channel.
I'd really appreciate it. And don't forget to click on the bell and you'll be reminded when my videos
are out. Now I have more do's and don'ts for you. Let's take a look at tips number five and six. So
next is tip number five and six starting with our legs. And ankle boots are really really trending.
They're so popular, but with bare legs like this well it's kind of cutting me off just below the
knees and also these boots they're beautiful boots but they kind of look matronly in this outfit. So
let's see if I can do a better job and make me look slimmer. So with this look
I have a longer silhouette with these black tights on. Now I'm going to talk to you women
who are in the you know the warmer climates in just a second, but notice how this makes it doesn't
cut me off at the knees. It's a much nicer look and those shoes, those little booties that I'm wearing
they don't look matronly anymore. All right now there's another tip that I have here
and that is that I'm wearing a darker silhouette underneath. And please don't wear all black but
if you wear something lighter on top again it's very very slendering but you're still fashionable.
Now I realize that some of you awesome ones you live in warmer climates and there's no
way you're going to be wearing tights. Now if you want to wear a dress I would suggest that you wear
maybe a longer the midi dresses are very very popular right now and then you can wear your
sandals and I would even suggest maybe a nice slit up the side but that's what I would suggest
for you. It gives you a longer silhouette. Now talking about silhouettes for my next tip I know
the monochromatic look is very very popular right now but I'm going to suggest if you don't want to
look heavier not to wear all of a bright color or even all white. So let's take a look at what
I mean by that. So here I am in a monochromatic look. I decided on all white but I could have
done the same outfit in all like a light pink or a light blue and I would still look about
the same because every little bulge is showing and I literally just look bigger. So let's take
a look at another look that makes me look more slender but still keeping the monochromatic look
in our minds. So here I am in a monochromatic look and it's denim on denim and believe it
or not it's trending right now. Now if you want to look slimmer go for the darker wash in your denim.
And this is really a comfortable kind of look and it's great for weekends. And by the way that jean
jacket that I just showed and the jeans are both in a stretchy material which I absolutely love and
I know you do too. And again the links will be in the description and also in the comments for you.
So for number eight let's talk about shapewear. For sure if you're going out for an evening you're
wearing a dress you want to have a slinky kind of look I would suggest getting yourself a full body
kind of shapewear like this. And by the way I have a lot of links at amazon.com/shop/awesomeover50
for you not only in shapewear but camisoles as well. Here's another example
of a kind of shapewear that you might like and this is just for a little bit of tummy control.
What's number nine? What's the number nine tip? Well the number nine tip is you don't have to wear
shapewear every day. What? If you're like me you just don't want to wear it every day and
I had to come up with a solution for you. So here it is. I would suggest that you buy outfits
like this pencil skirt for example. Got to make sure it's the right way. With a larger band out
the top that kind of brings your tummy inwards. And also you know those Lee jeans that I love?
The same thing. It has some stretch but look at the band that this has and there's not even a real fly.
It's a faux fly and this is going to bring your tummy in. Now I also just bought some new undies
and I love them even though they look kind of like boy undies. I did get them from amazon but look at
the waistband there. It's almost like shapewear but it doesn't have all that grabby stuff
that makes you sweat a lot and these are super super comfy. Now as I mentioned at the beginning
of this video if anyone should be self-conscious about their weight it's me. As a person who
was bulimic and I had to be skinny all the time I don't want to go back to that Heather. I want to
be a healthy Heather I want to eat right. Sure I want to exercise sure. The next tip is about
being really absolutely confident in yourself and and that will just make everything look great.
Having that smile and and saying to yourself you know what? What can I wear today that's a little
bit slendering not oh my gosh I look so heavy and this and that no what can I look that will make
me look good today and that's the kind of tip that I want to give you. Just to to really embrace
that kind of feeling and I gotta tell you I just absolutely love you the awesome ones. We're really
on this journey together and I would love for you to join me. Do you know that I'm live every single
wednesday at 7 30 eastern standard time and you can find me at amazon.com/shop/awesomeover50

the comments that you send as well because I know that you're just learning along with me and you're
also becoming a beacon of light. You're a beacon of light for those younger women that think they
have to be skinny or they have to be young and what we're doing is we're just changing the whole
dynamic of that and we're showing our daughters of the younger generation that it's okay to be
older. It's okay to have a little bit of weight on you and it's certainly okay to keep it awesome.
