I've mentioned it before and I'll mention it again, the MARIAN shapewear does wonders for my waist! I know I'm already small, but my waist lacks definition thanks to my banana straight figure. Haha. The MARIAN, however makes me look and feel as close to an hourglass as I may ever get! I wouldn't call my waist a problem area, but for those of you who do have problem areas that you'd like to cover up underneath your clothes, Vedette is definitely the place to go.

Don't be fooled! It was FREEZING out when I took these pictures. My lovely friend Erica assisted me and we were both so cold that we wanted out as quickly as possible! It took us less than 15 minutes to shoot! And thankfully!

Hello, everyone! I feel like my posts have been abnormally prolonged, but I've come up with a solution for that! I've created a theme for every week (for the next four weeks) and I plan on sticking to them! I'll wear an outfit at least 5 days out of the week and blog each day about it!
This week is Tights Week!

Day one of Tights Week (oh, how I wish I had a catchier name for it!) is featuring the MARIAN style shapewear by Vedette Shapewear. I was spotlighted on their blog in August for my flattering outfit that gave me an illusion of hips (which we all know I lack)! A wonderful representative contacted me an offered me the honor of being Blogger Of The Month, giving me the great opportunity to style one shapewear, of my choice, into an outfit. There were so many wonderful pieces to choose from but the Spanish lace detail on the MARIAN was an automatic win for me.

What I'm Wearing
Black Sunglasses: Electric Tonette (gift)
Blush Pink Boyfriend Blazer: H&M ($11)
Black & Silver Detailed Top: c/o Vedette Shapewear
Flower Earrings: Forever 21 (gift)
Black Button Up Skirt: H&M ($7)
Black Tights: Charlotte Russe (2 for $6; $3 ea.)
Floral Pumps: Me Too from DSW ($32)
Pink & Tan Satchel: Victoria's Secret (thrifted gift!)
White Watch: Fossil (my sister's closet)
TOTAL: $53

I love what this shapewear does to my waist! I know I already have a small waist but it gives me the definition I lack, making the appearance of curves more apparent! I wish the effects were lasting! If I could take it off and still have this waist definition, all my dreams would have come true!
