How to Wear a Classic White T-Shirt

Monday, October 18th, 2010

yt-white-t-short-sleeve-skirtGood fitting basics are essential to every wardrobe, and the classic white tee is the perfect foundation for styling both classic fashion and trend-right looks.

Start out by trying different sleeve lengths and different neck lines to shake up your white T-shirt routine. Then experiment with these fashion suggestions, shaping them to fit your own individual style — and remember to Show It Off!

Simple Basic to Fashion Statement!

Just moving away from same ‘ole style will make this everyday essential fresh and new. Go for something new, and remember, fashion is about fun!

Accessorize!

  • A scarf is an easy way to add a touch of chic to every outfit
  • Grab some chunky jewelry! Bib necklaces, big rings, cuffs and stacks of bangles dress it up

Retro right!

  • Pair with dark skinny jeans, a vest and clean Converse and a hat
  • Cuff a pair of washed out boyfriend jeans and throw on an oversize blazer — finish off with flats for day, booties for night

Short and Sassy!

  • Tuck into a short, structured skirt, show off those legs, and finish off the look with a pair of peep toe ankle boots for on-trend WOW

Long and Lean!

  • Layer over Yummie Shaping Leggings in black, top off with a leather motocross jacket and sky-high heels
  • Tuck into sleek, black, high-waisted pants with tons of long necklaces, or wrist bangles, plus a plain satin clutch for an night out

Change it up!

  • If you always wear ballet flats with skinny jeans, try switching to a riding boot, or high-waisted wide leg jean and wedge heels

More Yummie Ideas!

I always say that Yummie Tummie is for every woman. To see how versatile the classic white t-shirt can be, we gave eight fabulous fashion bloggers their choice of a white Yummie Tummie t-shirt styles:

Short-sleeve Crew Neck T

3/4 sleeve Crew Neck T

Long sleeve crew or V-neck T

Building Up Breast Cancer Survivors

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

kelly-rowland-heather-thomson-city-of-hopeDear Yummies,

Today I want to talk about something really close to my heart: supporting breast cancer survivors through their healing process.

A few years ago, my dear friend Leslie was diagnosed with breast cancer. Aggressive treatment, including extreme radiation, saved her life. But it also left her skin so sensitive that the pressure of a bra was painful.

When she told me that the soft cotton of her Yummie Tummie was the only thing she could bear to have on her skin, I felt so happy that even in the smallest way I had helped her feel better and sent her a box full!! And I promised, “I’ll find you something to make you feel great again!”

I was speaking as a friend, but it was the designer in me who rejected all the breast cancer tops I discovered: rough fabric, uncomfortable straps and short, impractical jog bra styles that fit awkwardly under clothes. Plus everything was all ugly “make you feel sicker” medical gear!

Breast cancer treatments strip you down. I’ve watched too many friends lose their hair, eyelashes, eyebrows and breasts, in order to keep their lives. I decided to create something useful, beautiful and comfortable — something that builds up these brave survivors and honors their fight: The Survivor Tank.

The lightweight Survivor Tank is made of extra-soft cotton, and has a built-in bra, with gently molded cups and pockets to hold prosthetics. The straps are wide, padded, and adjustable for maximum comfort.

The cotton-covered Yummie Tummie shaping panel provides gentle support, even acting as a medical helper after post-liposuction/reconstructive surgery. You can size up or down to get just the right amount of structure. Plus you can step into the tank and pull it up – no painful arm-lifting required!

Compared to the other breast cancer tops out there, the Survivor Tank is a peach to their apples!

We very proudly donate 100% of the proceeds from the Survivor Tank to The City of Hope Research Foundation. This inspiring organization is both a hospital and a biomedical research facility, treating and healing people with leading-edge therapies. I had the honor of getting to know the City of Hope this past April, when I was a recipient of the Spirit of Life award.

If you — or a woman you love – are in this fight, I hope the Survivor Tank can make a difference for you!
