I’m talking about my strategy for concealing my midsection which unfortunately has grown dramatically in the past couple of years!!
I’ve shared before that I’ve gained quite a bit of weight in the last few years. My body has been going through some major changes. I’m working on getting things to even out, and I hope that my weight follows suit!! Until then, I plan on continuing to live my life to the fullest. I’ll still go to workout in my tights!! I ‘ll still wear a swimsuit to the beach!! I’m Fat, not DEAD!!! (OK, I’m joking, sort of!!)
So in the meantime, I try to hide the bulge that I despise!!! I went to brunch with Dr. T the other day and wore a “uniform” that seems to be my go-to way of dressing!! BLACK.
I LOVE to wear black! I have more black in my closet than all the other colors put together. Black is a staple in my wardrobe. I guess it’s because my favorite all-time look is…

This is a perfect, classic look. It will never go out of style! |
I have had these leggings from Eddy Bauer for years. I found a similar pair on their website HERE.
The black silhouette hides pretty much everything under this cute vest from Old Navy. I bought several vests from Old Navy this year. I love this look, but I also love layering. These vests are warm.
Another way I like to wear this look is to add a denim jacket.
I have owned several denim jackets over the years. This one is one of my favorites. I love that it has a vintage look to it. I bought it at Zara. (Remember that time the credit card machine wasn’t working at Zara, and I had to ask my husband to pay cash for all my clothes?? YIKES!!! If you don’t know that story, you can read it HERE.)
And finally, I love this black on black on black look too!!
I love this coat from Zara so much, I also bought the camel color. It is a perfect weight for those not too cold days!
So, there you have it. My favorite look. Black leggings, a black top and some sort of vest or jacket to hide my middle is pretty much how I dress most days, these days!!
I have to give a huge Shout Out to my husband, Dr. T!! He always makes me laugh when I ask him to take my pictures. I reminded him after this that he can now add “photographer” to his resume’. Who knows– someone out there might need a physicist/photographer someday, Right??
