For those of you who may not know the lingo, a “muffin top” is when you’ve got jeans that fit perfectly but there is a little jiggle that comes up over the top of the waist forming a sort of muffin top shape.

We wanted to let you know that there is a way to alleviate that problem temporarily without resorting to exercise (or in drastic cases surgery).

Ever since low cut jeans became the popular thing, muffin tops exploded on the scene. Unless you have an extremely flat stomach, it’s just not going to work. Sorry.

And for the ladies who think they can just wear a tight shirt to hold things in… oops.. now you we can see the muffin top even more clearly.

We have been in your shoes, so we know it can be frustrating. What are you to do?

The answer: higher waist jeans.

It sounds scary and like something older women wear that could care less about fashion, but they work. Now they are coming back in style and they are hip and trendy.

"The Dreamer" by Old Navy $39.50

The whole reason mom jeans probably came into existence is because they GET RID OF THE MUFFIN TOP.

These types of pants have a higher waist so they hold everything in.

Back in the day jeans didn’t come in any decent cuts and were usually very tapered at the leg making you look like you had an enormous behind. But now you can find them in the trendiest cuts.

So next time you’re on the lookout for jeans, try one of the higher buts and we can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

We were invited to try out this site looklet.com and it’s actually pretty neat, although the selection is quite limited.
But here is our first montage. What do you think?

Hijab style tips: Pair a nice white pant or skirt with a super flowy top and some earth toned sandals. Add a pop of color with a bright handbag and a subtle scarf will even things out.

I just had an epiphany today.

As you may or may not know, Chicago (and much of the midwest and east) was hit with its first major snowstorm this week. I LOVE snow, and I was very excited about the weather change.

However, winter naturally comes with the need to change your wardrobe as well.
One thing I always have trouble with is boots and tucking pants into them. It’s a necessity if you don’t want sopping wet hems, but it doesn’t look that great unless you wear skinny pants.

However, I was searching for things online and came across some great advice.

They recommend tucking pants into socks first and then putting on boots. Pretty logical, right? And I’m sure it’s something everyone already knows. But I was amazed that my pants no longer had that weird, slouchy look.

So, until I have a chance to go out and get some tighter pants to wear with boots, this will be my quick fix for trudging through the snow.
