[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 677532, member: 18958"] I am exactly in your situation. Basically a small-ish, top-heavy body, too large for my frame. The solution for me is a tunic. A long tunic which goes to the hips, without buttons in the front. Worn over pants, jeggings, or leggings. I am buying clothes online at Walmart because I do not want to invest in too large stuff. They are cheap. I bought some tunics for $4 to $5--which was lucky but they seem to have specials often. I do not pay over $10 or $12 for anything except maybe $13 or so for cardigan sweaters. I am layering. Depending upon what your weather is like: a cami or tee shirt, then the tunic, then a cardigan sweater, over leggings/jeggings/slim pants. I am following the principles of [I][B]column of color[/B][/I] dressing, to look thinner. You can look online at google images. It is to use one color up and down to elongate the body. I am using scarves to add color and pattern but am sticking to solid colors, a la the column of color. I am buying cheap silk scarves on Ebay but buy them in thrift shops too. The other thing I did was I got a referral to a nutritionist from the doctor. I go every month. It helps. I am not weighing myself now, just when I go to her. I am losing slowly, like 2 pounds a month. You are not in any of this alone. Remember that. I am so glad you posted about it. Because it makes me feel not alone, either. Try layering!!! COPA PS I cannot and do not wear blouses that button because they gap. I carry most of weight in my top half. I totally relate. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to discuss "column of color." I am obsessed. [/QUOTE]
