Hey awesome ones, no matter what you call it you know that menopausal spread
or maybe you just get bloated after you eat a meal
but I think a lot of us need to have some tips including myself on how to hide our belly.
And by no way is this video about body shaming or anything like that. Hey I'm in the same boat as you.
I just came up with some new tips and tricks and I just thought I'd share them with you. So
let's get started. Just a quick story. One of the reasons why I wanted to do this video now
not only because a lot of women are you know getting social again and going back to work.
But on one of my recent videos I had a brand new jean skirt that I was really proud of and there
for the world to see in the video was the outline of my belly it was a real faux pas that I'm not
supposed to do but I did it anyway. So I said to myself I need a refresher course so that's what
this video is and there's five different mistakes and also the befores and the after fixes for you.
So here's how I looked in that video and tucking all this material inside and also just
leaving this open for the world to see gave me a really unflattering kind of stomach bulge here.
But here I am with a couple of tricks to look better. First of all I have a camisole underneath
and that's the kind of ruching that you see here to hide things and if I want to hide it a
little bit lower I can always pull the camisole down and of course it's very matchy matchy to this
t-shirt that I'm wearing. And I decided to tie a little knot again into the front so that
I've got more ruching here ruching really hides your tummy. I guess you're getting that by now
and I think I have a much nicer look with a jean skirt and a t-shirt and by the way I absolutely
love that kind of dark wash stretchy jean skirt. It's more of a pencil skirt. I really like it
and if you like it too I'm going to have links for that and of course other clothing below the
description. Let's get into the next outfit. And if you're a person who likes to wear all
black and oversized clothing this will be one for you. So you know black is slimming and you've
also heard that wearing a shift dress will hide your tummy and especially if it's oversized but
to me it just kind of looks like...do you remember the old analogy about a potato
sack? Well it kind of looks to me like a big potato sack and for sure we can do better.
I love this dress that I got from amazon. It's great for the summer. Has the cap sleeves that also
hides the tops of my arms as well, but notice how...I mean its color it comes in so many colors as well.
Imagine this in red. It would look so great too but the ruching the ruching. So we've got a little
bit of style it's bringing us in at the right places and find a dress with lots of ruching
from the top all the way down and you're set. So please ditch the all black and oversized clothes
and use my tips and brighten up your look. Go find some color out there and blues and greens and I'm
even wearing orange these days. So what's number three? Well there seems to be a trend right now in
fashion for shorter kind of sweaters and shorter jackets. You know especially the moto jackets
and this can really cause a problem when we're trying to hide our belly. So
let's take a look at what I mean. So you're happy to be wearing the higher waisted jeans again and
you're wearing the you know moto jacket or the more crop tops and you think you have to have
a line going right across but girls that's kind of showing off your belly a little bit too much.
So let's look at something a little better. So what you want to do is you want to wear a top
that kind of blends in with the pants or the skirt that you're wearing.
And well you've just sort of covered up everything and don't worry this kind of look
where I'm wearing a camisole right now just kind of goes over the top of your pants
is actually trending. So you'll be in style you'll be covering up your tummy and you're going to be
able to wear those shorter jackets. And stay tuned till the end of this video because I'm going to be
talking about a lucky draw that I'm going to have in the future when I reach 100 000 subs.
And thank you thank you so much all of you. Now where was I? Oh yeah number four. So my tip
is to focus on your undergarments. Hey if you're still wearing these itsy bitsy teeny weeny undies
and you got a little bit of a muffin top, it's not going to work for you. And hey I know we don't
want to wear shapewear every single day so what I would suggest is a pair of briefs like these
that sort of rise higher and hold everything in a bit that way you're not wearing shapewear all
the time especially for those you know more casual days. So my next tip is about those
really bulky kind of knitted tops that you're seeing that are trending right now.
And if you have no tummy it's going to be great on you but if you've been through the video so far
I'm going to figure that all that bulk will not be your friend. Now I love everything about this
sweater. I love the neckline. I love the design but it's just looking too bulky for me and I can't
tuck it in or ruch it or anything. So what should I do? I have to wear a different kind of sweater.
This is still a sweater. We gotta wear sweaters in the wintertime in the colder weather
but we don't want to wear black all the time. So I love this color
and what I did instead of just letting it all kind of hang out. All I did was tuck into the each side
and that way it gave a little bit of ruching and I'll just sort of show you these pants
because I love these jeans they're from Lee and amazon they're super stretchy but
they're kind of holding things in a little bit on the inside as well. So that's nice. Now
I know I talked to you about delicate jewelry but you can wear a long necklace like this and
actually when you wear a long necklace like this it actually brings the eye downward. So
that works too to help you look slimmer. I told you I wanted to do something special when I hit
the 100 000 subs and again thank you so so much and as many of you know I did write a book and
it took me like a year and a half of saturdays to write it and it hardly touches on fashion and
makeup really. I do a deep dive into 50 tips to help you on really not feeling invisible anymore,
feeling more confident, how to avoid the toxic people find finally right. Also what other
topics do I have? Well having a dream again and and feeling really confident in the future and
also healing some of our deep wounds that we all have. So I'm really excited about it and I thought
to myself hmm what should I do and I decided that what I'm going to do is I'm going to have
a draw. It's going to be on a video after I reach the 100 000 subs and what I'm going to do
is i'm going to personally autograph for a dozen of you who win, we're going to draw it out of a hat,
personally autograph it on the inside with a special message for you. And if you already bought
the book and thank you if you did I know a lot of you are saying that you keep it by your side for
inspiration. You can give it to a friend and I'll make sure that I autograph and send a message for
a friend. Now you're probably thinking okay so how do I enter this draw? All you have to do is in
the comments and by the way I read pretty well every comment and I certainly will this time
all you have to do is in your comments say, 'Keeping it Awesome', and I'll know that you want to be in
the draw. And by the way if you're not a subscriber don't forget to hit that subscribe button and also
