Q: Okay. Well, I have an event coming up here in about 2 weeks, where I HAVE to look good. Impressive, if you will. The thing is, I had hair extensions for a while, and they looked really good, but I took them out a few nights ago, and my short hair (just above my shoulders) makes me look totally different. It makes me look like I've put on weight, which I havent. I think it's just the way the cut is, and I cant do anything about that. It looks like "edgy" i guess, which isnt really my style. lol So, does anyone have any suggestions for an outfit? I don't have to look "professional" or anything. lol Just GOOD. My personal style is mostly preppy, with a little bit of funky, if that helps. and i also need to look thinner, because of my hair. haha the cut is horrible for my face shape. so anything to distract from my face would be GREAT. confusing, i know. help, please. also, pictures would be helpful. i have enough time to go out and buy things. so pictures would be great. lol i know where to buy clothes. i just need suggestions on what will look good. i need specific answers, please.
A: Black is a very slimming color, also vertical stripes make you look slimmer, taller, because it draws the eye up and down -- instead of across like horizontal stripes (they usually make you appear wider :-) Also, heels make you look taller and therefore have a slimming effect. Maybe you can get some ideas from these outfits. Hope you have a great time at your event! :-) http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=3534066
