Dressing to Hide Holiday Weight Gain
If you’re anything like me, you probably woke up this morning with a small problem. The holiday goodies from the past two weeks have quietly crept up on you and now, as you’re preparing to go back to work after a long holiday, your work pants are silently laughing, “Ha ha! Try to zip me up NOW!”
Oops. The average person reportedly gains 7 lbs over the course of the holiday season. Not a big deal, especially to those who have New Year’s resolutions to get back on the fitness bandwagon. But what can you do in the meantime to ensure you don’t look as frumpy as you might feel in clothes that are just a tiny bit too tight?
It’s really simple – just make some very conscious color choices as you dress each morning. Truth be told, black is a very slimming color. Dig through your wardrobe and pull out all of your cute black sweaters, tops, and pants. Alright, you don’t have to dress completely dark – but stick to darker colors that complement your black pieces well. They’ll help you to maintain that slim look while you’re working off those extra pounds.
Examples?
Try the Red/Black Sexy Kimono Satin Jersey top. You can dress it up for work or pair it with a pair of jeans for a more casual experience. The black body/waist is perfect for adding that slimming effect to your wardrobe. Plus, it’s a steal at only $19.95!
The Microfiber Triple-Cotton Tunic is another favorite. It’s simple, stylish, and easy to care for. At only $34 you’ll be hard pressed to find such versatile piece!
Last, but not least, a pick for the men. The Presidential Microfiber Shirt is perfect for the office or a casual day around town. It comes in a variety of colors and it’s so soft even the women love it. A bargain at $69, you won’t regret adding this silky shirt to your wardrobe!
Going back to work after the holidays isn’t the end of the world, but certainly feels like it! Go back in style and no one has to know how many extra slices of cake you ate at the last holiday party. Besides, you’ll be ready for swimsuit season in no time flat!
