May 22, Head to Toe

One trick for looking slimmer is wearing the same color from head to toe. It creates a long vertical line- which in turn, makes you look thinner! Today I have chosen shades of grey.

In my before picture I have paired my grey jeans with a light grey t shirt and my black Birkenstocks. Nothing wrong with this- but honestly it’s a little dull. And since it is two different shades of grey, it doesn’t really do the trick of slimming. So, to add some interest (and a little edge to the look), I have replaced the tight grey t shirt with this cool metallic t shirt. The color is a better match for the head to toe look. This shirt drapes better (doesn’t cling to my stomach) and has a cute side slit & longer back. Little details like that add interest to the outfit. The peep toe block heel shoes also add more style.

Since it’s chilly this morning, I will throw on my pink satin bomber jacket. It also adds to the edgy look, plus keeps me warm and is cuter than a cardigan.

Gotta run, no time for links this am, my sweet sister (Kara) called and we just chatted for a bit, so I ran out of time to do the links. But honestly, I’d rather talk to my sister. 🙂 Have a great day…

March 21, Pink Tee Shirt

Today I’m wearing a pink tee shirt and off white jeans. A simple, easy outfit. But what is the first thing you notice when comparing the two photos?

For me, it’s how much longer my legs look in the after photo. By tucking in the shirt- and defining my waist with a belt, I have added several inches to my legs. Wearing heels also makes them look longer (obviously)!

I love a good graphic tee shirt, but the one on the left is too large, and the neckline is too high. So, I replaced it with this much softer pink v neck shirt from American Eagle. I then threw on this cute grey cable knit sweater because our temps are supposed to be back in the 60’s today, so I will need the extra warmth. To complete the outfit, these peep toe neutral heels are perfect. They don’t distract from the overall look- but rather compliment the neutral colors while adding some height as mentioned earlier. And, the heel is only about 2 inches high. Super comfy!

Have a great day!
