When I found this button-up bodysuit back in the fall, I couldn’t believe my luck! There are certain ways I’ve always wanted to wear my button-up shirts that just defy tucking in. This pencil skirt and cardigan look is one of them. I love the look of a white button up with a cardigan and pencil skirt but every time I tried to tuck in my collared shirts they would make a terrible, ugly bulge where they tucked into the fitted pencil skirt. Enter the Express Fitted bodysuit. It’s a great way to add a collared look to a work outfit and not worry about it riding up or making that ugly wrinkle line under your clothes.

Ways I Wear the Button-Up Bodysuit
You can wear this collared bodysuit:
- under thin pencil skirts and not have it bunch up and show
- under sweaters. Pull on and off the sweater without the shirt riding up!
- under a striped bodycon dress and not have it pull up and or see wrinkles!
I feel like I should have more to say about this incredible top, but I don’t! It’s an amazing invention and the perfect business bodysuit. For this look I kept it really simple. I know a pencil skirt and cardigan just scream teacher outfit, but what can I say? You can take the teacher out of the classroom but you can’t take the classroom out of the teacher (or the cardigans out of her closet)!

Oh what a great idea for a bodysuit! I find I can’t tuck shirts in either, this seems like the perfect solution 🙂
Thank you so much for joining the #weekdayWearLinkUp 🙂
Hope that you are having a great week so far 🙂 We have had a break with the heat and humidity and had some rain which has been a wonderful relief!

Looks fabulous on you Hun, I just can’t wear them, I have a large rear and they always ride up to give an odd VPL! I tend to wear the very safe ‘g’ string, I don’t really find them uncomfortable as I know some people do. Thanks for sharing you gorgeous outfit on #chicandstylish today. JAcqui Mummabstylish
