From Publishers WeeklyIn How Not to Look Old, Krupp aided readers in their quest to fend off the ravages of age. In this second outing, she puts her style and beauty savvy—gleaned from her work at Glamour, InStyle, More, and People: Style Watch—to work helping women discover and celebrate their slimmer side. Those who know the fundamentals of dressing thin (avoid horizontal stripes; Spanx do wonders for bulgy bits; etc.) and are ready for progressed proficiencies will be thrilled with this book. And novices who think any derriere looks good in any jean will have to study up: the woman knows her stuff, as evidenced by loads of revelatory before-and-after photos, plus clever tips and utile lists (e.g., the winter-themed Swap-outs chart recommends sleek leather gloves vs. bulky woolly ones). The book is coordinated by issue, such as huge bust, muffin top + back fat, and Buddha belly. While a lot of of the topics may seem wacky at basi (Are your brows making you look fat? and Hiding fat with your bag), a careful read will disclose that Krupp’s advice—delivered in just the right knowledgeable-yet-commiserating tone—makes splendid sense. When it comes to clothes and the female figure, the author perceives how proportion, balance, and color make the divergence among lumpy and lovely, frumpy and fabulous. (Apr.)

Great Reference Book, a Timeless Keeper (and pardon to go shopping!)
By Susan Schenck
I had purchased Charla’s former bestseller, How Not to Look Old, gleaned a few tips (she dared me to buy architect jeans, in spite of being in my 50s), and then sold it on Amazon. Because, let’s face it, whatsoever tips she gave will be outdated in a decade. Her new book, however, has the potential to be a keeper. It holds timeless tips on how to look ten or more pounds thinner plainly by the way you dress.

Like Finding A New Best Friend!
By IE Mommy
mythoughts

If you have ever looked in the mirror and thought you looked fat…then you need to pick up this book. It doesn’t matter if you 4’11″ or 6 ft tall…sometimes you just “feel” fat and other times you in truth could lose a few pounds.

While I am unquestionably in the latter group and could shed a few pounds (ok, ok, possibly more then a few)…I know this is a book that will aid women of all ages and sizes.

I was very curious on what tips and advise Charla would offer to her readers. I feel that I am rather fashionable and somewhat conscious of what looks good on my body so I was delighted to read her fantastic, fresh and innovative tips and ideas. I was more delighted tosense her wondrous humor and tame sarcasm. The book reads as if a dear friend was telling me little tidbits regarding my style. I don’t know when it comes to you but I have only a handful of friends that I will trust to tell me the sheer truth on how I look. Now, I may add Charla to the mix.

Charla covers everything in this book. Nothing is left out. Whether you struggle with a Big Bust (chapter 5) or a Buddha Belly (chapter 7) like I do or have your own issues with Heavy Calves (chapter 10) or Wide Hips + Thighs (chapter 8)…you are going to find wisdom within these pages that will aid you think twice when it comes to what you buy and what you wear.

Each chapter starts with a chapter title (i.e. Big Bust) then she proceeds with the “You know you have it when” section which describes what “the problem” is and how you know you have it. For example Chapter 5 – Big Bust states you know you have this “issue” if “You wear an empire top and everyoneassumes you’re pregnant ” or “You look down and can’t see your feet” or “You may keep a cell phone in your cleavage”. Chapter 5 is my favored chapter as I am an E bra size…sorry didn’t mean for you to choke on your drink…and I may totally relate to each one of those affirmations plus the affirmations on a few other chapters as well!

The book is balanced by dissimilar subsections within each chapter. For example: High-Fat vs. No-Fat, Swap-Outs, 10 things that will make you look fat, Brilliant Buys, Vows, etc. Each section helps to pinpoint your precise problem and provides solutions, tips and tricks to alleviate the situation.

This is unquestionably a book that you will refer to over and over, time and time again. While it was great to read it all in one sitting…it is unquestionably a reference book as we are ever perpetually changing. I am not sure when the last time I laughed out deafening at a book…but there was so much “uh-huh” going on with each chapter that I had to giggle…I felt as if Charla has been following me around the last 20 years. Watching me as my body matured from a young married 105lb women to a stay at home, mom of twins and NOT 105lbs (hey, I still have 2 of those 3 numbers in my weight…they’ve just added a friend and I’m not telling you which one!)

Grab a coffee, get this book and then go buying goods for clothes that will not make you look fat again! On second though…skip the coffee (too a lot of calories)…just get the book and go shopping!

Some great tips that will not only make you look thinner but will make you feel better when it comes to yourself!
By Jennifer
I’m a big girl, and even even though in the beginning Krupp states that obese (anyone over 50 pounds) will have to loose weight before using these tips I think that anybody may in truth gain from dressing nicer. I’ve always been taught that sentiment good regarding yourself is the best way to make a change. If you dress up you feel better, and to keep that sentiment you are then more more than willing to make other changes (such as loosing weight).

I like how the book was broken down. Krupp goes through each of the problem areas women have and gives tips on how to dress that area properly. Many of the tips transcend multiple areas so you won’t be standing in a store thinking “this shirt helps here but not there”. By including the same items through a few dissimilar body areas you may buy a few “no-fat” or “low-fat” pieces to add to your wardrobe, rather of paying for a whole new wardrobe.

I also like the section in the back where she tells you to go through your closet. She gives you a brief step-by-step to in truth get the “high-fat” clothes rid from your life. The reason I liked this division is that just going and buying a few new pieces and adding them to your closet isn’t going to keep you from dressing in the “high-fat” clothes. To actually take vantage of the tips in this book you need to start out with a clean slate, so to speak.

After reading this book, seeing the pictures that show the tips she gives, and genuinely analyzing the clothes you presently have and the clothes you are going to buy you ought to be capable to dress thinner without ever stepping foot into a gym. Although even with a new wardrobe the gym is never a bad thing. (She even has hints on how to dress at the gym! How outstanding is that!)
