Apres Holiday – Too Tight Remedies for Dresses and Skirts

Jan 7, 2016 · Ann Lindsay ·

A Little Too Much Holiday Left Over at the End of the Holiday?

The holidays are a string of imbibing opportunities, and with alcohol comes food… do that for a month and you have gained weight. Yes, I know you were going to lose it the first 2 weeks of January, but if you didn’t here are some strategies to get you through, starting with the most important.

Don’t wear clothing that is visibly too tight.

Even slim women with great figures can make this mistake. (Yikes Michelle).

A dress that has tell-tale too-tight horizontal wrinkles across the stomach or hips can still be smashing as a layering piece. Layer a sweater, tunic or blouse over it and accessorize like you mean it! A belt, colorful jewelry, brighter on top.

Pull out your dresses and skirts that have a fuller skirt. If you gain in the hips try this A line.

If you gain in the waist, try a more natural, softer silhouette.

Top with a cropped sweater – not a long one with a full skirt – it will look too big.

If a blouse pulls apart across your bust cover it easily with a sweater. If you live in a colder climate like here in New England, this is the best time of year to have this problem.

Last but not least, take heart.

In my opinion, the two worst times of year to lose weight are December and January, and July and August. The best times are February, March, April, May, June, and September, October and November. Your time is right around the corner.

Some testimonials

Denise Barnwell

After working with Ann, I finally know why, how and what to wear that’s flattering and communicates my personal brand. Best of all, I feel confident and prepared for all business occasions. We may not like it, but people do judge your competence by how you look. Ann is professional, knowledgeable, and makes it easy to meet this challenge. I recommend Ann Lindsay and Style of Success to executive women who are serious about succeeding in business at a high level.

Veronica Holcomb

As a nationally recognized executive coach I work with people everyday creating impressions that support their goals. But when it was my turn to do a keynote speech in front of 500 women, I didn’t have the time or energy to figure out what to wear. Ann showed up, and in less than 2 hours had created a perfect, stunning, professional outfit and accessories that made me walk up on that stage with complete confidence.

For years I thought that working as a CPA meant I had to be stiff and formal; Ann showed me how easy it was to combine colors and fits that are so flattering and create a terrific, warm and approachable professional wardrobe. THANK YOU so much!
