Summer Sexy Legs

It is that time of year again when my phone is ringing off the hook with THE question . .

 "I am going to this great event and I want to wear a dress. WHAT DO I DO ABOUT MY WHITE LEGS???"

Well have no fear - as always Image Empowering is here! So if you are ready to bare some skin but don't want people to think that it's Halloween and the ghosts have come out, let me help.

 

One of the first things I bust out is the self tanner - - I love the airbrush tanner. I go out to my garage, lay a towel down (so it doesn't stain the floor) and spray away. (Check out my post from last May for my top choices on the tanners.)

And then there's this great thing that I thought everyone knew about; but based on all the phone calls this week, there are still a few who don't.  It's PANTYHOSE IN A CAN! Yes, it's true. In the make-up aisle at your local drug store you'll find Sally Hansen

Perfection, pantyhose in a can. And believe me, it really does look like you have on pantyhose. It comes in several different shades so you can match your skin tone. And . . . it even comes in a waterproof version for those pool days. L-O-V-E  IT!

Finally, for the "frosting on the cake", I always like to top off my tan with a little body bronzing. My favorite is Laura Geller's Baked Body Frosting. It runs about $40 at Ulta or Sephora. This gives the body a light summer glow with a hint of bronzing shimmer that will make the body look good enough to eat!

So go get one, two, or all three of these and then go strut your stuff!

Finding the Right Fit in your Jeans

With so many brands of jeans to choose from, how do you know which is the right fit for you? Have no fear, you will find the answers right here.
I have recently done some research to find the right pair of jeans for every figure:

Not Much Junk in The Trunk: Did you know that there booty boosting jeans?! The push up is not just for the bras anymore. If you are one of my friends whose  trunk got left empty, you have booty boosting choices now.  Try “Cheeky”  Jeans by Victoria’s Secret (approx. $88) at victoriasserect.com; or DL1961 Premium Denim “Ashley” ($158) at dl1961.com.

WNBA Prospects:  If you are one that doesn’t need a step stool when reaching the highest shelf in 8 foot tall pantry, then you’ve met your match with Old Navy “The Flirt” jeans, with a “tall” inseam standing at 36” for under $30 (oldnavy.com). If you have extra dough in your pantry and want to fork it over, True Religion has “Rendezvous Joey” with a 36” inseam for a mere $262 (truereligionjeans.com).

Small Packages: If the bottom shelf is the easiest one for you to reach, Gap carries great “Petite” jeans with a 29.5” inseam for under $60 (gap.com). Or you can splurge on Red Engine “Lily” jeans for $160 (redenginejeans.com).
