It's often said that the key to looking good is dressing for your body shape.
And Kerry Katona appeared to have this piece of advice in mind when she stepped out yesterday.
The 29-year-old, who is said to be worried about her recent weight gain, wore a flattering checked smock with a belt, giving her the look of a small waist.

She teamed it with black leggings and black sandals with a tassel design around the ankles.
The Iceland advert star was spotted leaving a Thai-themed pub in Wilmslow with husband Mark Croft. The sign outside advertised a deal on a curry and pint offer, but it wasn't clear what the couple bought.
Her belted look was rather different from a loose-fitting white dress she wore on Monday for a trip to the park with her children.
The mother-of-four made light of her recent weight gain as she played on the grass with two-year-old Heidi and one-year-old ! Max.

Fit and active: Kerry played ball with her nannies, before teaching two-year-old Heidi the basics of the game
With her two older daughters at school she laughed as she swung the toddlers around, showered them in kisses and cuddles and taught Heidi to play bat and ball.
She was accompanied by her two nannies - including Gemma who was last week knocked unconscious after accidentally hitting her head at the ex-Atomic Kitten's home in Wilmslow, Cheshire.
But ! all is not sweetness and light in the Katona household with th! e star o f Iceland's TV ads unhappy at regaining the full figure she paid so much money to have surgically altered.
Beneath the white summer dress she wore yesterday is around one-and-a-half stones of extra bulk that has allegedly caused her to fear for her relationship with Mark Croft.

According to Closer magazine today, she ha! s told friends: 'Mark's gone off me and sex altogether now. I've gone up a dress size or two. It's my body that's repulsed him. I know he'll be looking to get it from someone else.'
Last summer Kerry, 28, dropped several dress sizes after undergoing £15,000 of liposuction and slimmed down further with the help of her personal trainer Scott Wright, who played mechanic Sam Kingston in Coronation Street.
But the yo-yo dieter was hurt when Croft called her 'too skinny' after she shed 4st with the op and is now struggling with her eating regime again.
The friend told Closer: 'The other night she ordered two curries for herself and she polished off the rice and poppadoms, washing it all down with regular Coke and beer.'
