Can you believe I am not wearing a bra with my wrap dress? Not a traditional one. Today I wore the Sheer Classic Cami from Ruby RIbbon, under my DVF wrap sweater dress. As I mentioned in the video, with shape wear, less is more. Ask yourself, what part of your body is in need of a little smoothing, for the outfit you are wearing? Today, I was looking to smooth my back and tummy area. Sure, I would have loved a little support on my bum, but then I would have felt like a stuffed sausage all day, plus it wasn’t really necessary. If I was wearing a pencil skirt and fuller top, I would have chosen a thigh shaper or boyshort shaper, to prevent panty lines and smooth out my tummy and hip. Again, know your outfit.
I am happy to report, not only did I feel confident and great all day long, I had no pinching wires (which make me very grouchy BTW!) and I didn’t even notice my cam except to say I loved it!

Hi Suzanne, OMG the Fashion Tape will be a game changer for me! I love The long shirts/ tops by CP Shades. Many of them have the cross over type Neck. I usually sew a button in them or if I am short of time, I just use a safety pin!! THE FASHION TAPE WILL BE THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS!!!
BTW my favorite fashion type blog is “Keep It CHIC” by Preston Davis. She has amazing taste.
See you at the holiday party at the club!
Love, Pamela
Hi Pamela! Thanks for stopping by! I too often was pinning my tops as I mostly wear vneck or wrap tops. Fashion tape has saved me many a time! I will check out Preston Davis, I love discovering new bloggers, thank you! Yes, see you at the Holiday Party! xx

The suedette leggings. Kim Ackerman
Hi Kim! I was only recently introduced to RR and I have to say I love the products! I’ve always felt there was a huge void for women looking to feel confident and comfortable in their clothing. I have tried many shapewear brands and this is the first line that is actually wearable all day long. I love the RR leggings, I have the ponte knit and 2 color in the suedette. I also love the Ruby RIbbon demiette and camis. I wish you well as a stylist, more women need to know about this innovative brand! xx
