Let's talk about a few things here. First, the leggings. It's funny that I wear leggings at all, because in third grade, I moved to a new state and joined a new school, and my mother was still pretty much dressing me at this point, and I wore big sweatshirts and stretch pants and all through elementary school I was made fun of for the stretch pants. And now, here I am. And not looking too bad, if I do say so myself. Take that, Hanby Elementary third grade class of 1998!
Leggings are in, and while they don't do much to hide the thighs (you pretty much can't get more naked while still wearing clothes), they do smooth them out. If you want to downplay your tummy or butt, never wear leggings with a short shirt. Always wear something long, like a cardigan or tunic. Here's a good rule:
TIP #1: If you're going tight on the bottom, go baggy on the top. You don't want to look too constricted. This also works in the reverse--you don't want to look like you're drowning in your outfit.
And now for my favorite accessory: the belt. My hips and chest may be astronomical, but between them, I've got a tapered waist. But no one's going to know if I just let my clothes hang over it. Wearing a belt up high on your waist will accentuate the curves in a really flattering way.
You look so cute! Wasn't Monday fun!!!!
