Just fake it! How to look skinny

Just fake it: How to look thin
You can never be too rich or too thin right? Almost everyone wants to slim down but no one wants to put all of that pesky effort into it. Well you aren't going to get thin by just sitting around. You have to step away from the plate and hit the gym to get that body of your dreams but in the mean time ... just fake it.

These aren't tips and tricks like wearing all black or putting on wrap dress (we all know about those by now), these are actual products that claim to make you look thinner.

Hello! Skinny Jeans Barely Bootcut: Usually skinny jeans end up making people look fat but these jean's claim to fame is that they make people look slimmer. Check it out, they are cut to trim your thighs, tighten your tummy, lift your booty, and elongate your legs.

Spanx Control Top Fishnet Pantyhose Hosiery: Spanx have quickly become a 'can't live without' product for women everywhere. Nicole Richie is using them to hide her post-prego figure, Tyra has been using them to conceal her weight gain, and Oprah has been preaching about them for years. I have worn Spanx and let me tell you something ... they work!

Fit Flop: These sandals not only claim to make your legs look thinner and fitter but they are said to actually make them thinner. Flip flops that work on your fitness, not sure that I buy into it but it doesn't hurt to try now does it?

i've seen fit flops and they're heavy and hard. they don't give. even a good running shoe gives. so do old navy flip flops. and they're cheaper. i would do without the fit flops. the other two ideas seem worth trying.

wide legged jeans do not make a short - 5'2" woman look thin. No matter what they say. Especially - they do not hide thigh bulge. The answer is LOSE WEIGHT -- and if not that, then get straight leg jeans, slim from knee to ankle - at least somewhat. Then wear a slimming classic top - no gathered sleeves - no cut down to waist. We all know women show a whole lot of boob, in hopes folks won't notice the big butt. But, unless you dress right - the low cut distracts from nothing.
