https://lebarredesign.com/blogs/kariella/how-to-hide-your-food-baby-this-thanksgiving-day 2019-11-22T16:00:00-08:00 2024-07-30T11:22:48-07:00 How to Hide Your Food Baby this Thanksgiving Abigail Morse Picture this: You're sitting at the dinner table. You've just finished your carefully sectioned-off portions of turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, etc. You sit back, not quite relaxed, but nonetheless relieved. You did it. You successfully managed to hold everything into your skin-tight, non-conforming dress, eating only the bare minimum so as to retain your stately figure throughout the Thanksgiving meal. And then it happens.

"Anyone for dessert?"

Immediately, you squelch an inner cry. In this, your quest to hide your Turkey food baby, you had forgotten to allocate a place in your stomach for that iconic after-feast tradition, the delectably sweet, yet slightly savory climax to your Thanksgiving!

Panic floods your face as your nearest table-partner slides a freshly-dolloped slice of pumpkin pie in front of you. Your temples begin to throb. Your too-tight bodycon is feeling unbearably restricting. The air becomes thick, heavy, overladen with the scents of cinnamon and gravy.

Slowly, and with dread, you lift your fork with an uneasy smile. Hands shaking, you bring the sumptuous bite to your lips. You can just feel the seams of your dress begin to pull. You're not going to make it.

With a hard swallow, you force a yummy sound, and for a moment, nothing happens. You draw the slightest gasp, thinking perhaps that all is well. It's just one bite, right? You can handle that. And then the ball drops. Eyes wide, you freeze at the sound of a violent rip...

Don't let this be you. Enjoy your Thanksgiving with a few Kariella staples, sure to keep you calm and comfortable throughout the whole of your feast, from your first plate of stuffing to your third, and all the way to dessert and after-dinner cocktails. It only comes once a year, you know. So live a little, why don't you? And why not do it in Kariella fashion while you're at it?

So with that, let us begin with Kariella's how-to on hiding that food baby with style this Thanksgiving...

1. The Flowy Blouse

Unstructured Blouse Loose Blouse Flowy Tops

The most efficient way to hide that food baby full of Mr. Turkey and his friends is with a loose, flowing top, preferably one that sports a festive print such as our favorite Charmer Blouse.

Brought to you in a semi-sheer fabric with a key hole tie front and bishop-style sleeves, this blousy top comes together in an elastic waistband before flowing out in a peplum style away from the body. Thus can we hide that pesky tummy with a feminine structure that is just unstructured enough to satisfy our full stomachs. It's a win-win!

2. The All-Black Outfit

They say that black is the most slimming color, as it hides those uncomfortable bits we don't want emphasized. And Thanksgiving is the ultimate time of year during which to divert the attention away from our stomachs and onto the glowing turkey we want in our stomachs, thank you very much.

We've put together an all-black ensemble using an off-the-shoulder sweater and a glittering black maxi skirt. Both comfortable and practical, featuring a tie-front enclosure on top and a partial elastic waistband on the bottom, you'll be lighting up the dinner table, but not for your growing food baby. You'll have hidden that away, and others will stop to gawk at the wonder of your altogether slimming ensemble. A gold star for you, Madam!

3. The Patterned Dress

Patchwork Maxi Dress Patterned Dress Bohemian Outfit Ideas

Another option is to create an optical illusion for your viewers. Give them a puzzle for their eyes to wade through, and while they're staring at all the lovely little things going on with your outfit, the one thing they won't notice is the very thing you will have adequately hidden.

Free People's silk-feel a-line maxi dress in a bright patchwork design features a multitude of colors in a variety of patterns to create a bold bit of camouflage in which to shield your unwanted curves. It's the ultimate diversion that keeps people looking at you rather than your tum-tum.

More like 20-90's Abigail Morse If you were of fan of the 90's, or if, like some, you weren't quite old enough (or alive enough) to partake, then get ready, because "it all comes back around," as the fashion experts like to say. Here at Kariella, we've picked out our top ten 90's-inspired trends that'll either give you major throwback, or else welcome you to one of the most iconic eras in fashion history.
The Floral Summer Dress
There's no better way to greet the 90's than with the perfect chiffon summer dress adorned with rosy embroidery. Wear this as a stand-alone piece or with a cropped tee underneath, then top it off with a stretchy choker and a pair of platforms to complete the look.

The Cut-offs
We're not being exclusive here. Any item you can take a pair of scissors to will do. After all, grunge was born in the 90's. Here, we've found the perfect pair of washed denim shorts and added in a graphic muscle tee, the ultimate cut-off experience.

The Swim Suit
Because showing off just one of our 90's inspired swimsuits wasn't enough, we gave you options. And while bright colors were a fashion trend back in the day, so were the ever-famous pinks, baby blues, and lavenders. Whether you're a one-piecer or a bikini kinda gal, you'll fit right in with either one. Throw into the mix your most formidable scrunchie and you'll be good to go.

The Silk Cami
Silk and satin were a hit back in the day. But then, when have they ever not been a hit? This ever-lingering staple is a must-have for any outfit, and the 90's had a particular influence over the silk cami that fashion experts still cling to today: how to make it wearable for the everyday outfit. Well, it turns out it was easy. Just throw your favorite t-shirt underneath and voila!
Stripe Tease Cami, €62
The Overalls
If there's one thing that'll give you major 90's throwback, we guarantee it'll be this. Overalls have made a huge comeback. Thus, we chose this classic loose-fitting overall with a distressed leg to add some texture to the look. And if you really want to plunge back into the 90's, go ahead and let loose one of those straps to reveal your favorite graphic tee beneath.

The Strappy Mini
Watch any 90's romcom and you'll find every variation of the spaghetti strap mini imaginable. But here's a news flash: we're still at it! Because why get rid of such an obvious favorite when it's still alive and kicking?
Thank you, 90's. We salute you.

The Leopard Print Staple
We weren't going to let you leave without equipping you with one of fashion history's favorites. And the 90's were no exception. In fact, I think we can agree that, while leopard print was far from new at the time, it was certainly reborn in styles we still don today. Once again, we thank you, 90's.
