Despite our careful planning and best intentions, we've ended up with tins of Christmas cookies and candies lining our countertops. Hey, don't blame us -- blame our friendly neighbors and festive friends!
We're betting a lot of you are in the same gingerbread boat, and if you're anything like us, that means your plans for shaping up over the holiday season are being challenged. In fact, you'll probably end up with an extra pound or two by the time you've put away your presents and recycled the gift wrap.
There's no doubt in our mind that you'll get back on track and shape right up, but in the meantime, you've got places to go and people to see (like, ahem, a New Year's Eve party, perhaps?). Happily, there's a simple solution to any unwanted lumps or bumps -- shapewear!
For those who aren't familiar with different shapewear options, you should know that it's not just for love handles. You can find shapewear for tummy troubles, hips, booty, thighs, you name it. And you have choices as to how you wear it, as well.
If you've already selected your outfit, your best bet is to find shapewear that hides under your clothing. One of the biggest names in shapewear is Spanx, and what's really special about this brand is that it offers three levels of shaping, so whether you just want to smooth out bra strap bulges or need a bit (okay, a lot) more help, it has you covered.
You can also find shapewear that adds to your ensemble, like these Assets by Sara Blakely ribbed tights. They'll smooth your belly and keep your tush looking firm and fabulous -- plus, they're cute, and they'll keep you nice and warm. Or if you want a bit more coverage, try these ShapeFX push-up leggings.
Wait, what's that? You don't have anything to wear on New Year's Eve? Yummie Tummie has a few great clothing options, like an embellished tank and super-sassy tank dress.
