IT’S A CINCH: 5 STYLISH WAYS TO MAKE YOUR WAIST LOOK SMALLER

Posted on Categories FASHIONLeave a comment

Cinch it! Want to look like you’ve lost an inch or two without hitting the gym or even breaking a sweat? Most women want to know the secrets to whittling their waistlines without going on a diet. Whether you’re statuesque, petite, plus size, or simply average, we got you covered! And oh while your shape-wear can easily give the illusion of a tinier midsection, we have some simple ways to create a more streamlined silhouette. Yup, it really is that easy

Belt it up

Belts are a style must and give you the illusion of a waist even when you don’t have a defined midsection. Adding a belt to anything from a shift dress to an oversize sweater can have a big impact on your look.

 Bum bags

Hit two birds with one stone with a fanny pack.  Free your hands from clutching a bag and get your waist cinched and accentuated!

Wear corsets

No, not the rib cage-crushing type women wore before. Replace your belts with modern corsets to help highlight your shape and add some edge to your look.

 

 

Peplums

Peplums as extensions on tops and dresses are a great way to define your waist. By flaring out from the waistline, you create an illusion of a more cinched midsection. Yes, please!

There is an abundance of charm and beauty in this city, I’ve made it a point of duty to explore this in depth over the course of 5 weeks and to share it with you all. The highlight of my moments being the interaction with locals, their warm embrace towards me and my platform, they invited me into their homes, communities and shared their stories with me. A reoccurring topic was the waste and litter that flooded their surroundings, I felt rather inadequate, as it seemed such a huge issue to tackle, I remember thinking “where does one begin?”, aside the doubts that initially overwhelmed me, it definitely inspired me to want to be a part of that change. It’s all my heart thinks about. ❤️

You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I’ll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? ‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Does my haughtiness offend you? Don’t you take it awful hard ‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines Diggin’ in my own backyard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I’ve got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history’s shame I rise Up from a past that’s rooted in pain I rise I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise – Maya Angelou Queen bee: @therealrhonkefella Happy Sunday loves!!! 💋💋💋

Hello loves! Happy Friday Eve! One thing I've learned from about 5 years in America's corporate force is that you MUST learn to show up and SPEAK UP!!! Here's a piece that describes this succinctly . One of the best things I did at the start of my career was to master the art of impromptu speaking. Through Toastmasters meetings, I practiced something called Table Topics every week for seven years. Table Topics is an exercise in which speakers are assigned a random topic by a moderator and then must speak immediately for 60 to 90 seconds. Not only do you improve by repeatedly being put on the spot with no advanced preparation, but you also learn from other participants' feedback.~ Sabina Nawaz . Are you a business owner? If put on the spot can you sell your business? Can you sell yourself? Are you the silent type in meetings? Can you speak with intelligence and confidence when with other professionals? The good thing is speaking up is a skill I learned with loads of practice and just like any other skill, with time, consistent practice will make you better! The bottom line is this, If you want to be successful, You MUST show up and SPEAK UP! It's in you!! ❤❤❤ . Feautured: This swirl Ankara Kimono duster is on 🔥🔥🔥 @styleyourselfie 😘 @kadjoe.design 😘
