Without knowing how to pick the perfect dress as you hit midlife, you won’t be able to feel comfortable in any of the ones you have in your closet. Instead, you will continue to change into a pair of pants you feel more comfortable in and set the dress aside for “ next time”.

For years now, we’ve been hearing that you may have a muffin top. I just received another email from a client about how she had nothing to wear but didn’t want to get anything new until she lost her “muffin top”. Since everyone knows what a “muffin top” is referring to, it must be true. Right?

I think it’s easy for most of us to take a flaw in what we are wearing and automatically assume it’s our body. But let’s really look at this issue from a place of truth and objectivity.

In fact, this is such a key component to dressing with ease, so saving time and money, that it is one of the foundational pillars of my transformational services, Modern Midlife Women’s Style Guide.

Why? Knowing your body shape is a key foundational principle to having great style that saves you TIME and MONEY.
