Flashback

Flashback to last Thursday, that is. I just can't get over how slim and elegant some of the ladies looked at the event I attended. How they did it:

• Each one created an outfit with unbroken lines within her natural silhouette. (See A Pre-school Geometry Lesson.)
  
• The ubiquitous notion that dark colors make everyone look slimmer really works for dimly lit evening affairs- but NOT for swimsuits!
  
• Obvious reflective elements, like glued on little mirrors or glitter, caused their outlines to be less distinct.
  

Something else about this event that was fun: it was ladies only! No flashbacks to the high school dance, when you were all decked out and your date arrived in a sweater.
