Honest Mum in SPANX

Loving the SPANX Jean’ish Leggings & Win a Pair Worth £89

August 29, 2017

Honest Mum in SPANX

For those who’ve followed me forever (nearly 7 years in blog land is a million IRL, right?) I ‘huge heart eyes emoji’ love SPANX madly. I rock the black Skorts on shoots/telly under my dresses, and I have some epic nude ones which go right up to my chest that I wore after having my first child Oliver (and ever since) I adore. They suck me in and make me feel and look 108764593 x more toned (and after 2 c-sections and a #mumtum forevs) I’m endlessly grateful for them.

Now I’m sure you’ve heard of/own a pair of SPANX yourself but have you heard of SPANX Jean’ish Leggings? If not, stop everything right now, and give them your attention.

Honest Mum in SPANX leggings

Made to look like jeans and feel like leggings, these beauties hold you in comfortably and give you a sass pot of a silhouette. The built in Slim-X shaping panel with light whiskering and sanding gives a visually slimming appearance and the jeggings are designed to hit at your natural waist for great coverage and no muffin top! NO MUFFIN TOP. Whoop!

I usually wear a UK 10 in Topshop and the UK 8-10 fit perfectly, the 10-12 were loose (you want them to hold you in too so I’d advise slightly smaller than your usual jeans).

SPANX jean leggings

Genius huh?! Now if Spanx could make swimwear and something to make my arms toned, I’ll be the happiest girl on earth!

These beauties retail at £89, come in black, white and denim and are available  from Harrods and online at Luxury Legs.

    I’m very excited about these ! I did not even know they existed until I read this post !
    If I could look as good as you in them then I’d love to win.
    They are a gorgeous fit.
    I feel so uncomfortable wearing tight fitting jeans or leggings and these just may be the answer , I can see myself feeling more confident and completely in these.
