Lose the loose clothes
The first thing you want to do is remove all those old, baggy clothes from your closet. Oversized pieces aren't going to help show off your new shape. So lose the grandma jeans and the tunic tops girl and start looking for clothes that are going to flatter your new figure.
Make stretch your new BFF
Clothes that stretch to contour your curves is the way to go. I'm all about paneled dresses. They cinch in your waist and show off your shape. Asos.com, $142
Belt everything
One of the best ways to make an older piece of clothing work for your smaller body is to belt it. Ever noticed how Jennifer Lopez belts all her dresses?
Wear a statement piece
A statement piece can make an ordinary outfit extraordinary in just a matter of seconds. Try a bib style necklace to dress up a simple blouse or LBD. It also takes the attention away from those problem areas. Justfab.com, $40
Try a wrap dress
Wrap dresses are literally a godsend. They help cover those pesky areas you want to hide while enhancing your shape. It's the perfect pick, when your body is transitioning to a smaller size. Asos.com, $48
Try a fitted jacket
A fitted jacket or blazer, places emphasis on your small waist and keeps your look polished.
Wear nude pumps
Nude pumps give the illusion of slimmer, longer legs.
Don't be a slave to trends
Timeless pieces always flatter your figure and never go out of style. A little black dress goes a long way!
Stock up on pieces that look good on you
Whenever you find a pair of jeans or in my case (jeggings) that look great on you–stock up girl! It's important to have plenty of pieces in your wardrobe that fit really REALLY well!
Get a bra fitting
Lost a ton of weight? Chances are your boobs got smaller too. Make sure to get a bra fitting. This makes all the difference!
