Boyfriend T-Shirt

This is the softest T-shirt I own. It’s technically designed for lounge, but I love pairing it with the matching shorts as a comfy-cute pajama set.

SKIMS
Fits Everybody Square Neck Bodysuit

After being thoroughly influenced by the other editors on the team, I caved and purchased the Fits Everybody bodysuit in cocoa. When I took it out of the packaging I thought something this tiny couldn't be THAT flattering, right? Wrong. I don’t know if Kim infuses her fabrics with butter or what, but it looks and feels magnificent (all while making you look edible 😉).

faux leather bodysuit
SKIMS
Faux Leather Crew Neck Bodysuit

OK, I’ll be honest. This second bodysuit was a total impulse buy after seeing how good I looked in the first one I purchased. I was not disappointed with this Faux Leather version either, so it was 100% worth the impulse. Both bodysuits do a great job of smoothing and making the girls sit nice and perky. And after breastfeeding two kids for over two years, that’s a BIG win.

Soft Lounge Long Sleeve Dress

I finally did it: I purchased the SKIMS dress that’s been going viral (for good reason). I am not lying when I tell you this dress snatches you up and helps define your curves—in the best way possible. I’ve never received as many compliments as I did wearing this dress, and it truly makes me feel like a million bucks! Plus, the material makes this dress the most comfortable piece of clothing I’ve ever owned.

Cozy Knit Pant

I’ve always been a firm believer that there’s no need to splurge on loungewear… but then I found these pants, and I fear I had to eat my own words. They’re basically like if the softest blanket you’ve ever owned and the most flattering yoga pants you’ve ever worn had a baby. Plus, I’ve worn mine pretty much every day for months, and they still feel almost brand new. You’ll never turn back to run of the mill sweatpants again. In the Cozy Knit Pant we trust. 🤞

skims bandeau
SKIMS
Fits Everybody Bandeau

I have a DD cup size, so it's extremely hard for me to find bras that really work—especially strapless ones. So when I found this bandeau, I was absolutely blown away by how much support it provides while also feeling like you're wearing nothing. It is a forever wardrobe staple for me.

skims shaping short
SKIMS
Seamless Sculpt Mid-Thigh Short

I have tried a few different brands of shapewear, and have been unsuccessful in finding a pair that doesn't roll... until I tried these. They have a silicone underband around the waist and legs, meaning they don't budge as you wear them. I've worn them all night dancing at a wedding and not had to adjust them AT. ALL. If you know shapewear, you know what a huge deal that is.
