News Flash… Jewelry Makes You Skinny!

After all my years of calorie counting, eating frozen diet dinners, erratic exercising and just plain frustration that I’ll never be skinny, I discovered the most wonderful solution to my angst. It’s jewelry!

Really. I’m  not kidding. Most women seek advice on what sorts of jackets to wear to camouflage their hips or the length of their hemlines to make their legs look longer. But all you need to do is dig into your jewelry box to help you highlight, not disguise, your best features.

Fashion consultants agree that the best thing you can do for an immediate makeover is to use what you have, but use it differently. From now on, your focus should be on drawing attention to your strongest physical attributes. The shimmer of metal and jewels and gemstones will attract all eyes to where you set the target.

Let’s start at the top.

If you have a pretty face, consider a choker. Not only will it elongate the neck, but the piece will frame your face.

Consider the shape of your face and chose a design that complements it. For instance, adding a pendant to a collar will elongate a round face. Earrings too have a place in defining the focus factor. Dramatic hanging earrings add length to your visage, while a smaller design will offer the sparkle that will draw the eye to your face.

For those gals lucky enough to have cleavage, consider a piece to flaunt your decolletage. Necklaces that lie on the breastbone have the advantage of highlighting not only the chest, but the face as well. Depending on your build, chose a piece that doesn’t overwhelm your physicality, but blends with it.

Where a fashion consultant will tell you to wear a belt to show off that thin waist, you can draw the eye to it with a long chain. This will not only focus the eye on your hour glass shape, but will help to make you look taller by creating an elongated silhouette.

So treat yourself to a skinny piece of jewelry. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face and a whistle on an admirer’s lips.
