 5 great ways to wear shapewear

I went to a lavish dinner party a few weeks ago and I knew that I had to be on top of my game if I went because there is this fashionista who always gives me the impression that she is in competition with me. Childish I know, but people like that should motivate you to stay on top of your game. So anyway, she swears that she wrote the book on fashion and for the most part I must confess that she is usually on point, but tonight a fashion faux pas will be something she will be remembered for doing for a long time.

She greeted me with, Hello Ms. Arnelle. Not Hi Leslie, how are you. She used a tone as if to say honey please you don’t have nothing on me. I know this because I’ve heard her talk side ways about me with my own ears just because of who I am. I responded, Hey how are you, you look fabulous. She walked away with a smirk on her face as if to say whatever I just wanted you to know that I’m here and your nothing in my presence. Trust me this entertained me because if she was that special I would have been the one who spoke to her first. Again, childish I know but I’m just being real.

So as she turned around my mouth dropped to the floor. I could not believe my eyes. No, you have got to be kidding me. Ms. Fashionista herself had on a pair of gorgeous trouser pants but they hugged her bum all kinds of wrong but that wasn’t what made me gasp. The distasteful sight of her thong and cottage cheese bum showing through her trouser pants was as embarrassing as Naomi Campbell taking a tumble on the runway back in the early 90‘s. As soon as she turned around my associate tapped my shoulder and said you better tell her and laughed. I said I would but she would take it the wrong way so through out the entire night, instead of her being complimented by her fabulous ensemble she was talked about for the distasteful sight of her bum.

Most of you may be thinking okay what’s the big deal. Believe me it’s a HUGE deal you just don’t know it. If I charged a dollar for every person that I pulled aside to tell them how they can correct the distasteful look of spillage over their jeans to the eye sore of them wearing the wrong undergarments with their ensemble I will already be a very wealthy girl.

Ladies, let me tell you about my secret. Its Spanx. You can Spanx Me any day. It makes your garments fall on you like the taste of butter on sweet bread. It is a wonderful line of shapewear that is key to a successful, flawless and fabulous look. It will free you of the embarrassment of panty lines, cottage cheese thighs, clothes riding up your bum to the distasteful sight of spillage of your assets and the uncomfortable look of stomach bulge through your clothes.

You can visit them online at spanx.com, barenecessities.com or purchase them at your local fine department store or fashion boutique. The next time your at an occasion looking your best you will own it because you know the secret of confidence, Spanx.

Until next time,

Live Well & Live Fabulous!

Leslie
