1 Simple Way to Look Better in Pictures and Real Life

I promised I’d show you how my unruly hair looks straightened, and I had thought about doing this super simple Low Maintenance Girl “tutorial” about the easiest way to look better in pictures and real life, so I got David to snap a few pictures.

Then I got the Copycat Closet challenge email for this week and saw that Kelley was suggesting stripes. I actually don’t really have stripes right now *gasp*, but I realized that my scarf in this picture does, so I’m going with it :)

These don’t all do the best job of illustrating my point, but it was COLD, so I was lucky to get what I did, LOL.

Ugh. I am such a slouch! I’ve finally started doing more consistent situps again (yes, I slacked for 3 years and suffered immensely for it) and so I do notice that it makes it a lot easier for me to remember better posture, but it’s still really hard… I mean, I sit on a couch to work, so…

What about you, are you a sloucher? If not, what’s your secret??? :)

    Dang! You look like you lost ten lbs between the slouch and the non-slouch! I REALLY need to work on that in real life, but I usually remember to stand up straight in pictures.

      haha, well I’m glad the difference came through, but ugh, isn’t that scary? I can’t believe I put this out there, LOL. It really takes a conscious effort on my part to stand with REALLY good posture, even in pictures. I can think I’m standing up straight, but I almost have to go a little over the top. I’ve really considered getting one of those shoulder brace things that help train your shoulders to stay back better, but I haven’t found one that seemed that good.

        I constantly slouch. I blame it on being so much taller than everybody in school, but it’s probably just because I’m a lazy bum.

    So true! I always need to remind myself to put my shoulders back, I slouch so bad. Because I’m tall I tend to slouch more. But it does look so much better! Oh and the scarf totally counts.
