Tips From the Godiva Chronicles

TIPS from Godiva
The best tip that I can offer is to embrace WHO you are. Yes, the grass is always greener. Accept who you are and what you have as a blessing. Actresses and models aren’t always as they appear on TV or in print. Many people have worked to make them look the way that you see them- including make-up artists and photographers. Your life will be so much easier if you learn to work with what you have got and not what you don’t have. Amen.

Having said that, here are some more ideas for you.
When you dress to go somewhere, don’t forget to consider the reality- the weather, the location, and who you will be with. Girls, don’t wear 4″ heels to school. Dumb idea and everyone will notice you for doing it but, probably not in a positive way. It isn’t worth the pain.

Spend practical. Invest in something that you know you’ll need and use. Handbags say a lot about you and are something that you use every day. Denim- what does a $200 pair of jeans offer that Levi’s cannot give?

Size is a matter of what each piece of clothing fits on you. It is not necessarily just a number. You could wear 3 different size jeans depending on the cut and manufacturer. If you need to hold your breath to zip, please go up a size. Muffin tops are not cute. Oh, and 40% of you should consider going up a size- you’ll look better. Remember, when you look in the mirror you are posing, one on one. When you leave the house, others are seeing you from all angles. Dress for yourself first.

Comfort can tell tell you a lot. If you are uncomfortable due to a tight waist- your should probably go up a size. This uncomfortable feeling is noticeable to people when they look at your face and notice the bulge. If you are too comfortable in those sweats, don’t let down your guard by wearing them everywhere you go. This may be the first sign that you are letting down your guard in life and there is more to follow on the road to laziness. Hey- sweats and housework DO make a good pair. Sweats and grocery shopping….hhhmmmm.
