Tuck in Your Shirt

Did anybody ever tell you to tuck in your shirt? Well I hope you listened to that very wise advice.  I recently came across a picture on pinterest that led me to this blog.  She suggested tucking shirts into skirts or jeans and admire the instant silhouette created. So...I tried it. I can't believe the difference it makes in portraying the shape of my body.

Surprise! I have a waist.  I feel like it makes my legs look longer and my hips smaller. I get more of the desired hourglass shape rather than a pear shape. My skirt has a black elastic band so I added a belt to hide that and break up my torso from my legs. So I will now preach to tuck in your shirt!

Shirt:American Eagle Outfitters (c/o Mom's closet)

Cardigan and belt: I can't remember, I've had them for so long.

Skirt: Walmart (c/o sister)

Nylons: H&M (I love nylons, thank you Kate Middleton for making them somewhat less elderly)

Shoes: DSW

Caution: When someone you love is on Take Shape for Life your clothes may begin to disappear as none of their clothes fit them anymore :)
