True, most of the after's look better but it would have been nice if she posed in the same position in each comparison photo. In some of the before's she's looking down or has a really odd expression on her face, looking "self-conscious" on purpose. I think she could rock most of those outfits with the right pose and expressions.

At first glance, before even viewing the photos, I thought "Stand tall". Sit up straight, walk tall, etc. It does make a difference, even though I often slouch.........{#emotions_dlg.sad}

I like three of the 'befores' (also). I like #1's look better. As for the rest, thank you. Good tips. I'm going to try most of them!

Most of these look pretty cute.

I personally would never wear the furry vest or the thigh highs and short skirt (I'm way too old and frumpy for those, LOL), but I do think the model really does look more fashionable in most of the afters. Cute girl.

Thank you for posting this, some good tips.

Truthfully though, I am 51 and can't really wear some of the looks posted here. I can incorporate some of the changes within my current style though. Smile

Re: 10 Easy Ways to Look Instantly Less Frumpy

If I were in high school, I'd be jumping all over every one of them, but DH would lock me in the closet for showing off my thigh highs on the way to the senior citizen's meeting........
