Warning: If you are part of the 5% of women who wear a size 2 or less then this does not concern your skinny bitch ass.
As a retail professional at the store level I am constantly asked the question, "Do I look fat in this?" Well, if you look like anything resembling a Biggest Loser contestant, then yes! (There is a mirror in the room, if you think the outfit is questionable do yourself a favor and put down the venti cup o'fat.) For most of us women we need a little somethin' somethin' to hold everything nicely in place. It is absolutely essential that every woman has at least one pair of Spanx in their wardrobe. While you may be thinking that $30.00 plus is expensive, then you are in luck! Sara Blakely creater of Spanx has created a cheaper line called Assets that will run you about $15.00 and is available at Target. My personal favorite is the Unbelieveable Underwear. Also, the Assets tights and leggings are winter essentials. So please, the next time you go to try on that Trina Turk dress take your Assets so a sales associate won't have to lose their job saying ,"Yes, that does make your ass look large."
Throughout this entire recession I have had the constant feeling that Suze Orman has been haunting me every time I make a purchase. I get to the register at Nordstroms with my Marc Jacobs aviators in hand and then her raspy voice begins to ring in my ears, "First people, then money, then things." The internationally acclaimed finan
cial bitch has caused me reconsider many of my acquisitions, expecpt for my beloved Hanky Pankys. After all, undies are a necessity right? I know you are all exclaiming yes, but if you have never bought Hanky Pankys before you may be shocked by the $18.00 price tag. Now as I decide how to "cut back" on my spending due to the economy I realize that spending around $100.00 on just 5 pairs of undies may be a little ridiculous. While I was about to trade in my lace butter obsession for some basic Hanes I fell into the Gap and discovered Hanky Panky knock-offs. At first I was weary about trying my new undies, but found them to be just as comfortable and as cute! (The panties to the right are from the Gap.) Extra bonus: Now I can afford a matching bra too! You've just got served Suze Orman!
