style observer’s survival kit
While fashion is fabulous, sometimes it needs a little help. The blouse may gap and show your bra, or you can’t wear a bra with that great new dress you found.
Here are some of my secrets:
1. Hollywood Tape
It’s the best solution for keeping clothing in place. You can wear a very low cut blouse, and feel comfortable that nothing will slip out.
2. Adhesive bra
Not everyone gets enough support from the adhesive bra, but if you can make it work they’re more comfortable than a strapless. They stay put. You’re not tugging at it all night. Use it with halter tops, low back dress, strapless dress.
3. Gel Breast Inserts (Chicken Cutlets)
If you need a little help filling out a dress, these do a realistic job. They feel real, and give you a boost. Tip: they can make you sweat – they don’t breath very well. Small price to pay for your boobs to look awesome in your new dress:)
4. Bra Strap Converter
Is it ever cute when your bra strap is hanging out? Even when it was in, it wasn’t really a fabulous look. This device can help keep your bra inside the tank top.
5. Camisole
It doesn’t look pretty if you can see your bra through your shirt. A nude Cami will give you just the right amount of lining. So, they’ll notice the beautiful blouse.
6. Spanx High Rise Smoother
Thank God for this! It smooths all the lumps and bumps. I like the high-rise, because it creates a smooth line all the way up.
7. Slip
In my opinion, girls don’t wear slips enough. If you’re wearing a jersey wrap dress, a slip keep it from clinging in all the wrong places. Or if you’re wearing a white skirt, it protects from see-thru. I love slips!
8. Travel Sewing Kit
Just in case you need to make a quick adjustment. Or if something rips, you can fix it quickly.
9. Safety Pins
Pin an outfit in place that isn’t cooperating the way you want it to.
10. Moleskin
This has saved my feet on a million occasions. You can’t always predict a blister, but if you get one this will protect it from getting worse. Or if you know your feet are sensitive in certain areas, use it as a preventative measure. It’s brilliant!!
11. Foot Pedals & Stopperz
Grippers prevent slippage. So, you can walk confidently across a wood floor, without worrying that you may wipe-out. Pedals can help a shoe that isn’t fitting properly. We need our feet to hold up!
12. Travel Shout
If you get makeup on a piece of clothing, wipe it clean with shout. Carry one in your purse too – just in case
13. Aveeno Oatmeal Cream
Skin always looks better when it’s moisturized.
14. Chocolate
Well … because it elevates any mood!
