Belt it, Babe

Ok...so maybe I don't have to worry about winter coats...at all...but you might if you don't reside down here in the tropical weather. Fall and winter coats often have the "television effect" and add 10 pounds to your figure. Choosing a jacket or coat with a belt helps solve that problem. Placed at the tiniest part of your waist, the belt adds a little definition to your figure. Girl's got to stay warm but can't be looking frumpy. Problem solved, northerners.
