1. Lock and Load:
"One of my absolute musts is for women to go and get their bras fitted. You have to have it professionally fitted whenever your weight is altered by diet, and pre or post-pregnancy. Even the slightest bit of pounds lost can alter your bra size dramatically. I recommend that you go in every six months for a fitting to make sure everything is secured and of course, comfortable!"
2. Don't Wear What Doesn't Fit:
"A pretty common sense tip but one that often get's forgotten about. Don't wear things that are oversized if you're trying to hide parts of our body and don't wear things that feel too tight once you've poured yourself into them. Clothes should be tailored and they shouldn’t be pulling anywhere. Regardless of body shape, there’s always a way to create a silhouette that’s flattering for you."
3. Don't Waste A Waist:
“Every body type should make use of a waist line. Even if you carry all your weight in your tummy, you can still create a waist with seaming, or by belting at the smallest part of your waist -- which is usually the bottom of the rib cage. That is the easiest way to create curves if you're a straight boy shape or accent your curves if you've already got them. A waist line also balances body proportion, so even if you have large hips or a large chest you always want to accent a small waist in comparison."
4. Don’t Be Guilty Of The 'Buy Without Try':
"A lot of women buy clothes in a hurry, try them on at home and find out that they don’t fit, that they don’t like them and then they just don’t bother to return them. Save yourself the time on the backend by frontloading your time in the beginning. Take the extra ten minutes to try it on in the store. The only exception to this rule is bathing suits, I totally understand anybody that wants to go home and try them on."
5. Shoes Are A Game Changer:
"If you are going to invest in any one item for the season, a shoe can change your basic outfit dramatically. If you’re going to load up on anything load up on shoes. They can change those black pants or plain skirt instantly. It’s also an easy fix to a bland outfit."
6. Don't Buy Things Just Because They Are On Sale:
"I’m happy if you find something half-off that is absolutely amazing for you and it is something you need in your closet. However, women tend to think that just because something is on sale it is worth buying and most of the time, it just ends up sitting in your closet or it doesn’t fit and you never get it tailored. A sale should not be the impetus for you to buy things, your impetus should be what you need in your closet or what looks great on you. The price tag is really incidental."
7. Variety Is The Spice Of Life, But Stick With What You Know:
"It is very important for women to try new things. If you’re afraid of something, that’s the first thing I think you should try on in a store. But when I say stick with what you know, I do think there are certain times when you find a great pair of jeans. Then, you should just buy a couple of pairs, because you can hem one to flats and one to heels. If you find a shirt that just fits like a glove and you have a larger chest that’s difficult to shop for then buy [the shirt] in a couple of different colors and prints. Stick with what you know means stick with the sizes and shapes that work for you. Think of a pie chart when you think about your wardrobe. Split it up into quarters: Neutral basics, solid colors, prints and textures. If you have that ratio in your closet you won’t have to stress out every time you go to your closet to try and mix and match."

discovered an amazing youtube channel called real horror, who does history and crime videos. she only has a few videos on her channel, as she has a full time museum job, and she researches, script writes, narrates, and edits the videos all herself, but she's incredible. her voice is so soothing and smooth, and she is super respectful of any topic she talks about, always getting permission from relatives, or contacting the relevant people to get the facts (if they wish to give them).
but what drives me insane, and seemingly her from a few comments i have seen her make, is that a ton of the comments praise the work of 'the channel creator', but presume that she, the narrator, is not the channel creator and script writer. the say stuff like 'your videos are amazing! and i love the voice of the narrator', and just very clearly viewing the channel owner and narrator as two distinct entities. when she clarifies that it's all her, they're surprised.
you NEVER see this on faceless narrated male documentary style channels. it's presumed until otherwise said that they are the ones who also researched and wrote everything. but for her, they immediately think that a man is running the channel, and she's just a hired voice for a script a man wrote. it's wild to see.
