Yep, I Got a Girdle

I tried on a cute, simple jersey skirt the other day that I thought would be perfect for easy summer days. It is navy cotton with a rolldown waistband. When I brought it home, however, I realized that it showed every little imperfection. So now I am the owner of a Spanx slip which creates a beautiful, smooth appearance in any of my body skimming skirts. Thus I have completely nullified the whole "easy summer days" concept of skirt-wearing. When I was whining to my mom about wearing the Spanx girdle, I got to hear what girdles were "really like" in the 1950s and was told I had no idea what true discomfort meant. Oh well.
