How to Never Look Fat Again by Charla Krupp Review and Giveaway

Ever wonder if a dress or a pair of jeans made you look fat? Well, thanks to the book How to Never Look Fat Again: Over 1,000 Ways to Dress Thinner--Without Dieting! by Charla Krupp, you may no longer wonder!

The new groundbreaking style-guide from bestseller author Charla Krupp on how to look 10 pounds lighter, 10 years younger and 10 times sexier every day, all year--in summer, winter, at the gym, even in a swimsuit!You'll never get dressed the same way again once you discover:
*smart, easy ways to hide arm flap, a big bust, a muffin top, back fat, Buddha belly, a big booty, wide hips, thunder thighs, and heavy calves-and that's only half the book.
*which fabrics, colors, and styles make women look fat
*absolutely the best shades, shapes, and brilliant buys to make the pounds invisible
*clever solutions for special fashion situations--workout gear, evening wear, and even swimsuits!
*which products, fashions, and services you shouldn't waste your money on
*the top ten tips that will make you look thinner by tonight!
So, if you've ever put on a piece of clothing and asked "Does this make me look fat?" Finally, here is the book that will answer your question.

How to Never Look Fat Again was both a practical and humorous reference on how to dress to look your best.

Whether you have Arm Flap, a Muffin Top, or Wide Hips, How to Never Look Fat Again offers many great tips.

I enjoyed many of the various sections throughout the book, especially the High-Fat/No-Fat Lists, which show images of women in two different outfits, emphasizing what works and what doesn't.

The Brilliant Buys offers tips on brands of clothing to shop for to help different problem areas, as well as website and pricing information.

Thinner By Tonight! Instant Gratification provided quick and easy tips, such as if you have a muffin top/back fat, you should sit up straight and wear a silky blouse that doesn't cling to problem areas.

I also learned why not to go shoe shopping in the morning, what exercises help with arm flap, top styles that are great for muffin tops, how to avoid panty lines, and so much more!

I really enjoyed the photos throughout the book that showed the dos and don'ts, as well as stars who are working their assets.

I have a few problem areas myself, and with the numerous style and fashion tops from How to Never Look Fat Again, I plan to buy tops and bottoms that will flatter my shape and throw out the pieces of clothing that don't, and I hope to start looking more like a stylish, put-together mom!
