Hi Kelly. I'm feeling puffy today. Perhaps my tummy is trying to balance out the poufiness of my hair on this lovely, humid Florida day in the wake of Tropical Storm Fay. Please stop reading immediately if you've never had a bout of puffy tummy syndrome, and go eat a cupcake or something.
On days like this, clingy will do nothing for your disposition and it helps to have some shirts in the lineup that graze and don't grab your midsection. I seriously appreciate my Spanx, but not on hot days when the muffin needs to let off steam. That was bad.
Anthropologie is the Holy Grail of stores that offer shirts that can conceal any muffin-esque situations that arise.

I also love me some J.Crew.

And if blousy isn't your thing, check out the Yummie Tummie v-neck tee by Heather Thomson that has a special minimizing microfiber panel to shape your waistline from the bust to the hips, taking off inches. This was on Oprah as one of her top picks for summer. It is available at Revolve Clothing, Shapewear.com, and the official Yummie Tummie site where many styles are available.
Finally, for the Target lover in all of us, especially Kelly, here's a bargain buy for only $9.99 in 60% cotton, 40% Modal with a satin ribbon edge and pleats. I have to go. I need to unbutton my jeans.
