But in fact, I was just standing up straight. It was tough going thru that at such a difficult age, but now I have pretty good posture. Besides, standing up tall makes you look thinner, and it gives you an air of confidence. I even read somewhere standing up tall and looking confident makes you less of a target for crime. ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoulders-back-head-up#post-1350 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 22:37:29 +0000 Angie 1350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful Nancy! This point is mentioned at the end of this post. My grandmother use to make my mother walk around the house with a book on her head. This wouldn’t go down too well today. </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2007/02/13/look-slimmer-in-your-clothes/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2007/02/.....r-clothes/</a></p> <p>Embrace your height HannahMichelle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoulders-back-head-up#post-1345 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 19:44:04 +0000 HannahMichelle 1345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the reminder! I am working at this because for some reason I have a tendency to hunch (probably too much computer time), sometimes anyway...I usually don't realize it until someone catches me in a candid photo or video. Plus sometimes I feel so tall (5' 7 1/2") around certain people, but I'm trying to wear heels more often - you're right, slouching is never attractive, but "straight" confidence is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoulders-back-head-up#post-1340 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 17:39:01 +0000 nancybea 1340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Angie and everyone.<br /> Yesterday I was at the drycleaners waiting in line and immediately noticed the women being waited on at the counter. I couldn't help it, she had such a great outfit on for the early spring weather. She wore a terrific spring green lightweight trench (pant length) - the coat was really drenched in color - over some dark wash trouser style jeans, with a bright white shirt with french cuffs and a collar showing crisply against the green of the coat. With this ensemble, she wore black patent ballet type flats with gold hardware and had a great pair of sunglasses on her head. All in all, every choice was perfect, age appropriate and worn with flair.</p> <p>As my eyes scanned this great outfit they started with the shoes and moved upward with appreciation until they reached her head and shoulders - and what a disappointment! She had obviously put some thought and care into her clothing. But her posture was such - sunken shoulders hunched forward, head down - that the entire effect was completely spoiled.</p> <p>I'm not always the poster child for good posture but this clear object lesson has imbued me with new incentive.</p> <p>Remember, stand up straight, don't ruin your carefully planned outfit! </p>
