The Shirt That Takes Off Ten Pounds

Am I the only one out there trying to hide my post-baby belly? I didn’t think so. I mean seriously, who has time to go to Pilates when you have two kids and work full-time? I’ll just have to be like my clients and get a rockin’ bod when I’m in my forties! In the meantime, I’m here to share my fave new “hide the belly fashionably” trick: the layered top. I have had one (see below) in my closet for two years but it has never quite worked as my body changed constantly with pregnancies and breastfeeding. I pulled it out again about a month ago and EUREKA!, suddenly it covered all sins. The good news is, the one-off shirt I picked up for myself a few years ago is now a trend so you can have one too. Happy shopping!
