notsofabFaux Pas: Muffin Top

As we approach Spring Break, I felt the need to remind all you women that wearing way too tight clothing is not flattering on anyone. For those of you who don't know, a muffin top is the overhanging of flesh that spills over the waistline of too tight pants. I'm not really sure why this is still going on. Maybe people just don't want to buy new clothes, or go up a size so they squeeze into pants they wore in elementary school. Or perhaps they are hot and want to wear as little as possible. Or maybe even someone told them that they look hot in those particular pants. But the most terrifying possibility of all is that these people actually think they look good hanging out of their pants.

The saddest thing of all is that many of the people who walk around like this are not fat. In an outfit that fits properly, they would look amazing. That is the real tragedy. I mean, even the skinniest of gals can't fit into the same pants they wore when they were kids.

So, ladies--please stop clinging to your past and go up a size if need be. It's more humiliating to walk around with a muffin top; not to mention the constant pain of your pants cutting into your waist. So let's keep it FAB ladies!
