Of course, we get a lot of our fashion sense from our mothers, but in particular this point of wearing clothes that are the right size. If your mom dressed like a sack, you're going to have to combat the tendency to do the same thing. On the other hand, if your mom tried to wear clothes that were too small, you might be tempted to do the same. <BR/><BR/>I was lucky to have a mom who always stressed wearing clothes that were the proper size, for comfort as well as beauty. I didn't always follow the rule, especially when I gained the freshman 15 in college and my clothes were too tight, and then I bought clothes that went a little on the big side; but I'm back to normal now. :)Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06221464682706193091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333854947482185505.post-68717474800491831102008-11-07T10:27:00.000-08:002008-11-07T10:27:00.000-08:00I love these posts on how to dress - great idea. I...I love these posts on how to dress - great idea. It's something that's been rather at the center of my less important thoughts over the past month, as I'm beginning a career. I'm afraid my Christendom class clothes just won't quite cut it for the working world, so I'm slowly building a new, older kind of wardrobe. I had a thought, too, on what you call "spatial reasoning" (A great point, and all but overlooked by most): a huge help in this is buying clothes that actually fit. <BR/><BR/>I worked at Gap for a year. Trust me - people do not get that principle. Yes, size 8 sounds better than size 10 - but I promise, you'll look more like a size 8 if you're wearing a 10 that fits than if you're wearing an 8 that doesn't. And the same goes for buying clothes that are too big (which was my problem for years). If the size 14 is falling off, it means you need to go down a size or two. It doesn't mean that you're thin because your clothes are too big. <BR/><BR/>Anyway - great post.

You know, the "sack" look . . . :)Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06221464682706193091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333854947482185505.post-33827986231316831162008-10-21T13:07:00.000-07:002008-10-21T13:07:00.000-07:00The pictures and humor are inseperable :D Thanks f...The pictures and humor are inseperable :D Thanks for the sound advice!Autumnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00201182011499941852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333854947482185505.post-13188689245721872932008-10-17T07:59:00.000-07:002008-10-17T07:59:00.000-07:00AWESOME, SYLVIA!
