I try not to let money burn a holy in my pocket, especially on clothes.  That was something I did that in my 20’s when everything looked great on my body.

Winning Style: Look thinner in Miraclebody Jeans Giveaway!

You may have heard about the slimming Miraclebody swimwear, but did you know they offer jeans too?  I didn’t until just recently … [Read more...]

Winning Style: Annette Shapewear for Every Day Giveaway!

Closed – congrats to commenter #59 - The Baldree Family I experimented with shapewear a short while after my daughter came into the world.  We had her Christening a few weeks after she was born, and I was having a hard time fitting into old clothes or looking decent in new, larger outfits.  The shorts I tried felt too tight, too hot, and whatever was compressed beneath them just spilled out of the top anyway.  I thought, ‘What’s the point?’ and ended up returning them to … [Read more...]
