is not about acheiving perfection …

Perfect is defined as being flawless or having nothing to improve on. Perfect however, is far from the reality of anything.  When you look at your face and body and feel that you are flawed ie too fat, too skinny, big nose, crooked teeth etc. you are comparing what you are focusing on to another ’image’ that you have in your mind of how you should look.  This image will have been generated in all likeliehood by a digitised picture or by comparing yourself to others and judging yourself  … others in turn are likely to be doing the same thing.  Not necessarily with you but with someone/thing else.

When you look at the whole picture (body or face) it’s about balance.  If the ‘parts’ are symetrical and in proportion or at least appear this way then you will be closer to acheiving ‘the perfect’ look. 

 To acheive this ‘appearance’  is relatively simple when you know  how to mix and match types and colours of clothes and incorporate a good dose of confidence as well.  Its about creating focus/drama where you want the attention to be focused and in turn drawing the eye/vision from the perceived flaw – finding a happy, smiling face will always attract attention!

in search a bra that will lift, conquer, divide or shape, fill and flatter

Finding a bra that ‘fits’ is a major undertaking!  The word ‘fit’ means not only covering your breasts but also, supporting, uplifting, shaping, minimising, dividing, etc.  So when shopping for bras the number one rule is get fitted!  ie. have a fitting specialist run a tape measure over you and give you the two magic digits.  The numerical one being the width/size of your ribs, under your breast and the alphabetical one being your cup size (this may also contain double digits ie DD).  But that is the easy part – all you had to do was stand there!  Now, comes the hard part and that is going to the racks/shelves and collecting every bra that has that number on it and then trying it on!  Serious!  I tried on 15 last week and 3 fitted … My daughter tried on 12 and got 2.  You will know when the ‘fit’ is right cause you will look in the mirror and smile.

However, if you can’t face this, and i truly understand because it is hard work go see Kirsten at Savoir in Christchurch, NZ.  She is awesome and will do all the work for you while you just stand there.

love and laughter, karen
