Do these jeans make my bottom look big?

This is one of the hardest questions I ever have to answer…I definitely have a new understanding of what the men in our lives go through!!!  Women ask me a version of this question every day.  When they are in the store trying on a new dress or pair of pants, they want to know how they look in it.  I always give my honest opinion.  I would never, never tell a customer that something looks good on her if it doesn't.  If I don’t think something is flattering, I try to say “that’s not my favorite dress on you” or “that top just doesn't do anything for you” and I help her find a better option.  I want women in my store to feel great about how they look.  The challenging part comes in when a customer doesn't like the way she looks, but I honestly think she looks great.  I’ll say, “that dress is so cute on you” and she’ll wrinkle her nose and say that she thinks her hips are too big.   I know we are usually our own worst critics, and we bring a lot of issues with us when we go clothes shopping.  We think about what we looked like before kids, or when we were 20.  We compare ourselves to other women who may be more fit, or wear a smaller size.  But come on ladies, we need to give ourselves a break.  None of us are perfect.   No matter what size we are, we can find things to wear that enhance our best features and camouflage the areas we don’t like.   Stop in the store and I’ll help you find the perfect look!  And you’ll never have to ask your husband that dreaded question again!
