Hey, ladies, word is Invisibelt is introducing a new line soon and expanding their color selection for the current Invisibelt (per an email from the VP of Sales). I will keep everyone updated.

C Lo - I struggle with jeans too. That's why most days I put on one of three pairs that I have and love (from Target in years past, but I'm not loving their current selection). As for what I wear when I stay at home it is usually a pair of Yoga Pants (Black from Target or Brown from Sam's Club) and some kind of tee or casual tunic. Nothing fancy to say the least, but good enough to take the dogs out!

Wow, I have never heard of this. Such a great ide...

Wow, I have never heard of this. Such a great idea! I'm not sure if I'd invest in one since I don't know how much wear I'd get, but I'm glad that there is a product like this out there just in case.

Thank you for answering my question so quickly!

I'd never heard of Invisibelt before reading your post! What a fab idea! (I also like wearing belts, but have the pudge issue too!)

Thanks for the info - I'll be pointing to this post from my blog!

I have an Invisibelt and LOVE it--in fact my mom got one after she saw mine as well! What also works similarly to an invisiblt is a ribbon belt--it's flat too.

How fortuitous! I also need to wear a belt to keep my pants in their rightful place so I have stayed away from the belt looks I see so many people embracing. Even if I don't start wearing a decorative belt over my shirt, this would still help keep me looking buckle bulge free!

I too slide my belt over the side under one of y belt loops- that helps but it's still kind of bulky.

I'm going to have to give this a try- I like knowing my pants will stay in place but hate having that bulge there!

I'm so buying one of these! I've always been annoyed by the bulge that most belt buckles create.

Oh, then the next question, fashion maven, is this:

For us curvy girls, have you found any fabulous jeans that accomodate our curves, have minimal fall-down potential WITHOUT coming up to our bras? I have tried the NYD Jeans and NO THANK YOU. I'd like to find a jean that sits at the waist without falling down and without giving me MTOD (muffin top of doom). Also, 100% cotton would be nice, it seems like "stretch" jeans just mean "stretch out of shape by the end of the day and make you look sloppy" jeans.

ALSO

I think you should do a post about what you wear when you are staying home for the day.

I have been s0o out of the blogosphere these past few weeks with a trip and finals..I just caught up on all my reading today and I have to say several things:
-You're so bad for my wallet. You make me want to shop every day. On the positive though, your pics have really helped me consider my own style and look into new patterns, colors, layers, etc.
-I love the inspiration calendar! I'm going to copy some of it down and can't wait for June.
-I still need to get my bum to Goodwill lol.

2009-05-14T14:21:00.000-04:00

I have one trick that I've done for a couple years that works almost as well as the Invisibelt sounds like it does: I buy belts with a relatively flat buckle and instead of having the buckle positioned directly in front of me, I put it off to the side right in front of my hip. It doesn't get in the way and any "buckle bulge" is much less visible. I wear belts over shirts and dresses all the time, along with an off-center one to hold up my pants, and it always works and isn't noticeable.

I bought an Invisibelt after I saw you talking about it last year and I LOVE it! Seriously - it's one of the greatest inventions ever. It has really helped me put together some new outfits that I never would have before. I recommend everyone gets one.
