I am losing it slowly, and I want to look nice in the process. What styles should I wear to look pretty -- not frumpy -- while I'm losing weight?<p><b>ANSWER:</b> These days, size doesn't matter when it comes to looking fashionable and chic. That's because there are countless clothing lines made for curvy, plus-size women -- so you'll have an easy time dressing well while you lose those 100 pounds. Here, some ideas: <p><li> <b>Buy for your current size.</b> Plus-size women can look great in anything, provided it fits well. That translates into buying clothes for your current size, no matter how much weight you plan to lose. Buying a size smaller may seem motivating, but seeing those pieces sit unworn in your closet may frustrate you. Plus, as you lose weight, you can ask a tailor to size your current clothing down. <p><li> <b>Get great-fitting bottoms.</b> Look for wear-everywhere staples, such as a pair of straight-leg pants and a straight skirt. Buy side-zip styles, which add less bulk to your belly and keep the lines of your body smooth, and choose fabrics with a bit of stretch to ensure comfort. Go for any color you like, from basic black and brown to peacock blue and red.<p><li> <b>Go trendy on top.</b> Halters, deep V-necks, tank tops and blouses can all work for a plus-size woman, as long as they fit properly and aren't too tight. Beware of the urge to hide your shape with oversize T-shirts and blouses; often, this technique just makes you look larger.<p><li> <b>Don't underestimate accessories.</b> Exquisite shoes and a beautiful bag are the keys to looking chic and pulled-together, no matter what size you are. While you lose weight, rely on luxe accessories to keep your look current and pretty.</span><p><br><p><br></td><td rowspan="2"></td><td rowspan="2"><p><br></td><td rowspan="2"> </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td class="bgleftcol"><div style="padding-top: 10px;"></div><p><p align="center"></p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" align="center"><div style="padding-top: 10px;"></div></td></tr><tr><td width="134" height="10"><spacer type="block" width="134" height="10"></td><td width="15"><spacer type="block" width="15" height="1"></td><td width="424"><spacer type="block" width="424" height="1"></td><td width="15"><spacer type="block" width="15" height="1"></td><td width="160"><spacer type="block" width="160" height="1"></td><td width="10"><spacer type="block" width="10" height="1"></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><p><br><br></div></body></html>
