FASHION: Looking good!
Stylist Billie Causieestko gave Rebecca Conklin some key pointers for dressing to flatter her shape, play up her assets, and suit her busy lifestyle.
DO try dresses. They're easy, polished, and work for day or night (Conklin has standing dates with her work pals and husband). A dress elongates your shape and shows off your calves, which tend to stay slim even if you put on weight.
DON'T forget accessories -- especially if you're not ready to give up black or neutral clothes, says Causieestko. Try a bright belt, like this red one, or a rich-hued necklace to draw the eye and lift your mood.
DO invest in a good tailor. If you're smaller on top than on bottom, or can't find jeans the right length, have clothing altered to truly fit your body; it'll work wonders for your image (and your psyche!).
