This T-Shirt Tweak Will Make Your Clothes Fit Better!

Do you have shirts in your closet that just don't fit "right"? They're too big, too boxy, too droopy, too long, too something. Whatever it is, you feel "meh" when you wear them. And because you feel "meh", every time you put one on, you buy into the idea that your body's the problem... and not the shirt.

Newsflash. It's the shirt. Because I KNOW your body is NOT the problem.

Don't worry though. You don't need to ditch the shirts. You just need to TWEAK THEM!! Hold on to your bippy because I have a CLOSET-TWEAK that can transform those wonky shirts from "meh" to WOW, in under 30 seconds, using nothing more than a rubber band!

When Kathleen, the SSS17 Rosie Squad facilitator, created a how-to "rubber band" tutorial for her "sisters" in this session of Style School, I thought nothing of it.

This move isn't new to Style School. Its magic has been passed down through multiple SSS generations, but it has never taken hold like it did in the SSS17 Rosie Squad.

Within a couple of days of Kathleen's tutorial, this "move" started spreading like wildfire.

First, Marsharee (Rosie Squad, SSS17) came in and used the "rubber band move" to completely TRANSFORM a dress that she said "fit like a sack", into this fit-and-flair style dress that looks absolutely STUNNING on her gorgeously strong body!

Then Amy (SSS17 Rosie Squad) came in and TOTALLY transformed this a-little-too-long eggplant colored shirt into a fitted masterpiece!!! Just look at how the elastic-band-created rosette defines Amy's waist so beautifully!!! 😍😍😍

And THEN Michelle (SSS17 Rosie Squad) came in and used the "rosette" to transform not one, but TWO "don't fit quite right" tops!! Saved from the donate pile by a rubber band? Yes, please!

By this point, I was freaking out, because I had NEVER seen this move transform so many outfits - all at once!!

I had a wicked celebratory conversation with my team about how AWESOME it was to see so many "Rosies" rocking this move. We collectively decided that since it was the Rosie Squad that BLEW THIS MOVE OUTTA THE WATER, we should call this handy hack the Rosie Rosette!!!

And look, here's Mia (SSS17 Rosie Squad) showing us how SHE rocks the Rosie Rosette!!

AND now... l👀k how Jen (SSS17 Rosie Squad Big Sister Mentor) TRANSFORMED this made-for-a-man, standard issue t-shirt into a STYLED-FOR-A-WOMAN tee by chopping the neck out, cuffing the sleeves, using the neckband as a HEAD BAND, and employing the good ole Rosie Rosette move right there in the middle of the shirt!! I mean seriously?!?! This is ANYTHING but standard issue.

The excitement got to be SO MUCH, that Amy, the SSS Amelia Squad facilitator couldn't help but make a tutorial for HER squad to spread the ever-loving Rosie Rosette magic!

Gals! Challenge!

Grab yourself a rubber band and run straight to your closet to try out this move, just to see what you see. Try it on shirts AND dresses, just for funsies. Don't be afraid to try the Rosie Rosette in all kinds of different spots, either. Left, right, middle, up, down, around. Try it all over the damn place!! Be sure to snap a few selfies, as you experiment, so you can take an objective look at all the options, and see which placement you like best.

And my goodness, report back!! I'd love to know if you tried it, and what you think!! FYI - I won't be sad if you send me photos, or tag me on Instagram, so I can feature you in my stories! 😉

Okie dokie. I hope you enjoyed this little peek into the SSS17 session of Style School! We are ALL ABOUT having FUN!!
