Have you seen the infomercials for the amazing fat-sucking-in undergarments? They look like something someone found in an ancient torture guide. This is not your basic super strength granny panty, it's like a fat sucker on steroids. It goes from just under "the girls" down to the thighs. Ouch! I can tell you for sure that this thing has to have been invented by a man! Because what self-respecting woman would ever wish such total-body-squishing pain on another woman? Now, I'm all for hiding a roll every now and then, you know, for a special occasion or something. But honestly, my loves, if you are wearing one of these things regularly you need to give your internal organs a break.
I want you to love you for the beautiful person you are. But, if you want to hide some extra pounds, here are a few tips (that don't involve cutting off circulation):
1) Wear black. This really does help, but you want to be careful about looking too morose. You don't want to look like a teenager going through an emo phase. So add some splashes of color in your layering pieces and accessories.
2) Wear clothes that fit properly. Because if it's too tight, it doesn't really matter what color it is. And if it's too loose, it makes you look bigger, and that's just not fair.
3) Wear jewelry. Earrings and necklaces draw attention to your gorgeous face.
4) Wear a bra that really fits. If the girls are in the proper upright position, who's gonna notice the love handles?!
5) Wear a smooth layer underneath. Wearing a cami underneath creates a smooth line without causing pain. Go for one with some Lycra in it. Lycra is our friend, girls!
6) Wear a smile. Make a mindful effort to smile and it will warm your heart to see how many people smile back. Smiles look good on everyone!
