I don't have a flat tummy nor do I have a perfect hourglass figure. But you know what? I have Spanx. With Spanx, I can look a size smaller and that I have a more fit body than I do, especially with my mid-thigh shaper (I wear a style called "Higher Power").
OK, for those out there (And believe me, ladies, we all need Spanx even if we're a size 2!) who don't know what Spanx is, here's a quick rundown: Sara Blakely created Spanx in 1998 from a pair of pantyhose and it later evolved into a bodyshaper. Before the wonderful Ms Blakely, most bodyshapers were made by men who didn't really understand that we need to be able to BREATHE when we wear a bodyshaper.
I love all the colors, styles and how pretty they look. OK, I know I am totally shallow but doesn't it make sense that as women we shouldn't wear something that looks like a chastity belt when we want to look nice in that little black dress?
Plus, it's not only body shapers or bras that are available. Spanx has pretty camis, tights and also socks.
And you won't believe who is wearing them! Scarlett Johansson, Drew Berrymore, and Byonce just to name a few.
I love my Spanx because I can wear them under jeans and a t-shirt or when I need to get all pretty for something important. I know the prices are pretty steep (We are all counting our pennies these days) but they are worth the price. But if you are looking for something a little easier on the budget, Assests which is a brand of Spanx is available at Target. It offers a lot of range in style and color.
So ladies, what are you waiting for?
