Fashion tip of the day: Accentuate the postive

My sister Susan sent me this eCard earlier this week to give me a chuckle and it reminded me of a phrase two of my friends in Atlanta use to always say, which I still believe is the golden rule when it comes to purchasing and wearing clothing.

“Just because they make it in your size

doesn’t mean you should wear it.”

No matter your body shape or size, there is clothing that can accentuate the positive.  Certain colors, cuts, prints and even fabrics all contribute to this or as is more often the case accentuate the negatives – and for the record, showing back fat is always accentuating the negative.
