Default Does anyone have a favorite...

article of clothing that makes you look real thin (at least comparatively)? Today, I'm wearing a green turtleneck sweater that always makes my waist look slim. I think I've gotten some sort of compliment on my weight loss every time I've worn it. I guess part of it might be that it's a fairly bright shade of green (not so bright that it's tacky though) and it draws attention. Either way, it's just one of those items that makes me feel good when I have it on. I know a lot of us have to be very mindful of finding "flattering clothes," but do any of you have that one item that makes you look/feel extra special?

I used to have a pair of jeans that i loooved. They made my butt look amazing (my butts a little flatter from riding horses all my life lol). They are my goal jeans to get back into. It will be a while tho..
Right now everything i have makes me look like crap. Nothing fits right or anything..

I love my capri's, and believe it or not, I bought them at Wal-mart. They fit my butt perfectly, and they are the first thing I wear when I do laundry. Its funny I used to have to pay a fortune for good fitting jeans! I can't believe I found these for $16 (ok, i sound like a commercial)

I think it was the Today show that said capri's were out this season...well forget that, I love mine ;-P

I have a bra that makes my boobs look really really good.... Best thing is, I got it for $12! The only problem is that it's fuschia, and I don't have a lot of clothes that I can wear fuschia under I also have this polo shirt that fits me really well, it's the perfect length and I always get compliments on it. It fits my figure very well. What's funny is that it's neon orange, and it's just about the only thing I can wear my fuschia bra under (I really like neon orange as a color... My hair used to be neon orange too......)

I have a navy blue sheath dress. It is slim fitting but does not hug my curves, very fogiving when I am not at my best. It is pretty short though so I have to be careful where I wear it...

Fitted v-neck tops really make me look smaller than I am. And of course, the perfect fitted pair of jeans.

A great pair of jeans! Sometimes, when I get close to the end of the week (I wear them on the weekends), those jeans are motivation. I think, "Wouldn't it be nice if they fit a little more loosely tomorrow?"

i have a really nice A-line skirt and a funky silk-screened shirt that I love - it's always been the outfit I though was most flattering on me... the best part is that I hadn't worn it since before I started losing weight, and I wore it this weekend and it looked SO good (if I do say so myself )... I'll be sad when it doesn't fit anymore, but not that sad!

These fitted, stretchy, cuttof shorts from old navy.

Somehow (don't ask me how), but they make that itty bitty space between my thighs a little bit bigger. I feel like I have the best legs in them. I got them in Boston last week. God bless them, I can't wait for summer.

I love the way my black velour (hope I spelled that right) suit makes me look smaller.
