When Lipton Publicity sent me a pair of Get Fit Shaping Tights from ShaToBu, I was excited to try them out, not only because I love tights but because of their claim to burn calories while you wear them. And though I'm not the hugest fan of 'shape-wear' I was quick to see what all the buzz was about and here's what I found...
Like other shape-wear brands, they're difficult to put on, it's a work out on it's own trying to get them on, which is fine because then we know they're working, right? Second, I loved that they were opaque and had a nice sheen to them. My biggest complaint would have to be that I spent the entire day pulling them up because I didn't want the 'black band' to show, which was annoying because nothing is more tacky than your 'shapewear' showing from the bottom. And given that my dress was of a modest length and not a mini, it seemed like I would have to wear a pencil skirt for it not to be revealed. Did it burn calories while I wore them, I have no idea, I wore them twice and I did feel slightly more slim after wearing them all day, so maybe. Would I buy another pair? Maybe, if they made the band higher up, and for $28 it's not an out of budget splurge.

That lilac dress is so cute!! I love how you styled it with the cardigan and belt! I have the same issue with shapewear. I don't need everyone knowing what I'm wearing and unfortunately the bands do show. Well, you look great regardless!

28$ for tights? Too much for me! And the band would have annoyed me too!
Loved your light pink/lilac dress! :)

You look nice, the dress is darling, but I think they are too "sheeny." I don't want to legs to be shinier than everything else I'm wearing.
Love the pink!
That's such a great color on you!
you look great! oh, and don't worry...i wore my spanx tights with my very short zigzag dress and had the line showing all night. if i moved or sat...it showed. oh well. =)

Love the lilac/black combo!
Not sure I am sold on shapewear that burns calories for you...unless they mean the sweat you work up trying to take them off and on...LOL
You look great..love the shot of spring pastels and that BAG is beyond.

Not sure these shapewear tights will really burn calories but they might help hold me in better. Love how you styled them with the lavender dress. Super cute.
I hate wearing shapewear specifically because it is a pain in the BUTT to put it on. Argh. I mean, I guess that's a good thing? I don't know. It looks cute on you, though!

Those sound very interesting and worth the try! I also hate when the band shows though and would be cautious of it as well.
Hhmm, this sounds like an interesting type of shapewear, not for me, but I love the colour of your dress with the cozy knitwear.
Beautiful!

love your boots! lilac looks amazing on you.
I think they look great! Though, my one peeve with shapeware leggings or not is the sheen... i feel like you can tell it's shapeware because of it. They need to come out with a matte version! Love the color on you <3
Love this look. The belt + carry + dress = super cool.
I love the boots and I am always looking for good shapewear. I'll have to check them out.
great look!
What a beautiful dress and sweater combination - the colors are lovely! I think I'll pass on the shapewear, even though I could use some shaping - because I am too lazy to struggle with my hose in the morning : > Thanks for linking up to Visible Monday!
That sounds like a lot of work. Haha! Love the lavender on you! Thanks so much for linking up to Monday Mingle!
What a pain that you had to keep pulling the tights up! Your dress isn't even short! Love the lilac dress though. So pretty!
