I know that this is a radical
statement, but it is true! When you stand in front of a mirror and see only the problems, you have an attitude problem. You have silently become a member of the ?if-only-my-body-was-different? club.

Rather than assume the problem is with our bodies - and running to the nearest weight reduction
salon or plastic surgeon - we need to see that the real problem is the clothes we try to put on our bodies. Picture your favorite dress or outfit that you love to put on because you feel great in it. You don?t think about your body when you look into the mirror, nor notice the dress and how nice you look. You feel so good because the outfit is in harmony with you.

So, how do you figure out what clothes are in harmony with you? You need to understand your Body?s Signature?.

To begin, look in the mirror without judgment. Approach the mirror with the attitude of ?My body has a rhythm of line and shape that creates a beautiful pattern?I?m going to learn to recognize it and listen to what my body is telling me about what I need to put on it. You might feel a little silly at first, but you?ll get used to it and the results will have you feeling good about your body and self.

Next, approach your body from the viewpoint of an artist. What is the line of your body? That tells you about the drape of fabric that is best for you. Do you need fluid fabrics or taut fabrics or a combination of both? Do you have curves? If so, you?ll need to wear fabrics that will go over your curves easily such as knits, crepe, fluid silk, or rayon.

What is the scale of your facial features? This tells you about the scale of the accessories you?ll wear best such as earrings, size of print or belt buckles.

What are your color patterns that are seen in your skin, hair and eyes? This tells you about the amount of color, the warm of color and the contrast level you wear best.

What is your texture pattern and optical weight of design? This tells you about the amount of textures and the weight of fabrics that are best for you.

Once you start seeing your body with positive thoughts, and appreciating your unique Body Signature, it will become easy choose clothes that make you look great. When you wear clothes that are in harmony with your body and your personality, people will notice!
