So...Spanx.

So, Spanx. Sara Blakely is laughing all the way to the bank while the rest of us rely on her shapewear to suck us in and smooth us out. And I'm not just a fan of her miraculous granny shorts, but also the Spanx bras. I know I've blogged about them before, but seriously, check them out. Up until recently I'd never ventured beyond undergarments. But these babies caught my eye in the store window out at Tyson's Corner and I went in to investigate...and eventually bring them home.

 

 

They also come in green!

 



Who knew that Spanx made what I'll now call, "fancy leggings." You know, the ones that are a slightly more appropriate to wear in public (just slightly). They're definitely holding their own in the athleisure game. Here are a few other pairs worth venturing out to run errands in.

Getting Intimate

If you walk this Earth, and you're a woman, you've probably heard of Spanx, right? Even the most svelte actresses have been known to grace the red carpet in their trusty body shapers. Everyone has an occasion when they want to be sucked and tucked in all the right places.

But...did you know that Spanx also makes bras! I'm here to let you in on a little secret. They're just as amazing as the little bootie sucking shorts themselves. They're actually better because they're something you'll wear everyday (and I do - well, almost).

Ladies, let me introduce you to the "Bra-lleluja." Yes, that's its real name. It's made from the same fabric as the shorts and comes in five colors. Say goodbye to back fat and any VBL (visible bra lines)! It also comes in a racerback for tank tops (I own that one too).

And that's just one of the styles offered. The Bra-llywood Hills Side-Slimming Underwire just arrived to me in the mail, so while it's brand new, initial reviews are positive! There's a reason Sara Blakely is the world's youngest self-made female billionaire!

Are you a Spanx fan?

Your Best Assets

After eating too much for Thanksgiving, there is nothing better than something to keep you looking slim and trim, even though you might not feel it....

SPANX shapewear are widely known, but how about Sara Blakely's line for Target, Assets. The quality is just as good, and they are about 30% less.
