Accessorizing Proportionally

Many of us are big gurls. Our height and/or weight and/or build approximates a typical male, rather than a typical female.

There are ways of reducing our size to more approximate a typical female. Losing weight and/or muscle mass is one way. Creating optical illusions with what we wear is another way – specifically, accessorizing in proportion to your size will create the illusion of reducing your size.

Wearing small jewelry and small handbags does not make you look petite. If anything, wearing small will make it more apparent that you are big.

On the other hand, if the size of your accessories are in proportion to your body size, there is no disconnect between those sizes and your size will less likely out yourself in the eyes of your beholders.

So if you are a big gurl, shop big and wear big when it comes to jewelry and handbags.
