Underwear designed to disappear

If you have been following along, you know I am a huge Soma Intimates fan. So when they sent me their new Soma Vanishing 360 Bra, Soma Vanishing 360 panty, and Soma Vanishing Pants, I knew I had to share them with you!

Underwear lines are something women have dealt with for years. There are so many brands out there claiming to have the ultimate products which disappear underneath clothing. While many don’t show thick lines under clothing, there isn’t anything out there that actually vanishes while being comfortable, and staying in place. How many times have you tried panties which don’t show lines, but also move all over the place? If I wanted to wear a thong, I would buy one! I wouldn’t wear a full coverage panty that rides. . .well you know where! Annoying, right??

Soma has always made underwear that stays in place, so when they sent me their Soma 360 Vanishing panty, I had high hopes. My hopes were well placed! These stay put! Yay! They also don’t show lines under pants; another yay!

I also want to give these pants a shout out. They have a hidden layer which helps hide lines, so if you aren’t wearing panties that vanish underneath your clothing, these pants will take care of that for you. They are a great pair of classic black pants which can be worn in any season; casual or dressy. Love that!

Shop Soma’s Vanishing 360 collection:

So this collection really is magic. I need to pick up some additional pairs of Soma’s 360 panties. They come in a ton of colors!

Have you tried Soma’s 360 collection yet? What did you think?

Thanks for stopping by!

Striped cardigan weather has arrived

wearing: pearl earrings / lipstick / sunglasses / charcoal long sleeve tee / Funky China necklace / striped cardigan sweater / nail polish / flare jeans / Chloe bag / western style boots /

Sweater weather is finally here! Yay!! I met my friend Dawn, from Fashion Should be Fun, last week for lunch, and it was cool enough to cozy up in this stripe cardigan sweater. It was so nice being able to enjoy a fall-like weather pattern while walking around downtown Los Gatos with Dawn.

I picked this sweater up back in July, and I have been patiently waiting for a day when temperatures dropped low enough to wear it. It was worth the wait! It’s not a heavy cardigan, making it perfect for fall. In the winter, it can be warmed up with thicker layers underneath. This long sleeve tee is also lightweight, so it was the perfect combination last week when temperatures were in the high 60’s and low 70’s.

This necklace deserves a shout-out too! I purchased it last spring at the Mustard Festival in Saratoga. They always have really cool, local artists and vendors at the festival. My kids love going every year. Funky China was there selling her handmade, one-of-a-kind pieces. They are made from pieces of old china; which is super cool. Definitely check our her Instagram! I get compliments and questions about it every-time I wear it. It’s a conversation starter; and it’s fun to have something one-of-a-kind!
