Focal points maybe many things but they all have one thing in common - they attract attention. A focal point may be a bright colour in a dark print, an eye catching piece of jewelry, a motif, embroidery, item of make-up (bright lipstick), hair colour, bag, eyewear or anything that says "look at me". Every day we place focal points on our body and each one invites attention to where we have placed them. If you have a heavy lower body do you really need a focal point at or below your waist, if you are large busted do you need one on your chest?

After you have dressed for the day stand in front of a full length mirror, close your eyes, open them and ask yourself what you noticed first? The item that caught you attention first will be your most major focal point. Ask yourself "is that where I want people to look?" If not you will need to place a focal point on an area of your body you like better.
