Looking Yummy With A Tummy

Ladies!

Let's be real. We all have an area(s) of our body that we'd like to work on or wish there was something we could do to change it permanently.
For ME, it's my tummy! This "problem area" as some call it, and myself definitely have a love/hate relationship.
Fashionably, it makes wearing some items almost impossible (In MY Opinion). Shape wear or foundation is always an option.....BUT those are tricky as well and most times uncomfortable!
As style guru Sarah Shah, wrote about in her book(with the same title), you gotta "Dress Yourself Skinny"!
Often times, when I post pictures on social media, there is at least one person that comments about weight loss. I take it as a compliment, but No, I haven't lost weight... I just know how to "minimize" the appearance of my tummy!
"How do you do that?", you ask.
It's simple! I promise!
-Your bra! Wearing the improper bra size can definitely make you appear larger and more shapeless than you actually are. Dillard's, Victoria Secret, JC Penny and many more retailers offer bra fittings at no cost!
- Wear a (dark) top or an accessory that will take the focus off of your tummy. It also makes your waist appear smaller. I like wearing off the shoulder tops as well as big chunky necklaces. You can also add a belt!
-Wear a bottom that will SMOOTH
the tummy, not SQUEEZE it! We all love a cute form fitting dress/skirt, but honey if that tummy is showing and pooched out because of it being too tight, LIG(Let It Go)!  I love skater and a-line dresses and skirts for THIS very reason! Those styles don't hug at your tummy area and place more focus on your waist! And make your body appear smaller!
-Patterns widen the appearance of your hips!
-A bottom with a gathered waist and/or wide waistband works great as well!
-Jumpsuits and rompers are great, as well as long as they aren't too form fitting in the stomach area. They seem to smooth the tummy area and accentuate your behind! 😉
Get in your closet! See what you can find! Drop a few pounds without the gym.
Thank me later!

Prints are our friends, ladies!!! When worn properly, might I add. On this model, the black off the shoulder top, gatheted waist and all over pattern make her waist appear smaller, as well as places focus on her shoulders and not her tummy area.

An A-line dress!! Dress has a gathered waist and doesn't hug her tummy! Add a belt and, voila! 😊

A romper! Added a big chunky neclace! It gathers at the waist with the help of a cute belt and smoothed out her tummy area!
