Nope, it doesn't quite work that way, as nice as it would be. Instead, we have to forego all of the deliciousness that I personally LOVE... chocolate, potato chips, cookies, chocolate, cheesy quesadillas, did I mention chocolate? Yep, and then after all of that self-deprivation, you also have to fit in hours of running, crunches, lunges, etc., each week. At least that's how it works once you hit 30. ;)
One thing that does instantly transform these legs of mine into fun candy-colored stems, however, are my brightly colored skinny jeans! Even if they don't make me appear any thinner, they do make me feel good about how I look. And THAT is where you get my catchy title. ;)

There's just something about these turquoise skinny jeans that makes me happy.
Speaking of turquoise, yesterday, I did an experiment with my third graders. We were testing how light filters through different materials and the way the color changes. According to one of my bright students, when the blue and green lights blend, we get turquoise! To me, it looked like a light blue, but hey, maybe turquoise is her happy color too, so I'm not faulting her for saying that it looks turquoise. In fact, I was actually quite proud of her for coming up with a more descriptive word that "light blue." =)
I tried various poses today to show of my little arm party...
They look more ridiculous than creative. ;)
Do you have a trick for instantly feeling a little bit thinner? Maybe "thinner" isn't the best word... but you know what I mean. Do you have something you wear or do that instantly makes you feel a little bit more confident? Or something that cheers you up when you put it on?
Linking up today with the lovely ladies behind Monday Mingle!

1. Yes. I wish it were possible to "color yourself skinny." That would be entirely awesome.
2. What is realistically and entirely awesome is this outfit! I really want those pants--and I might have to venture out to get them! And I'm such a sucker for black and white with a pop of color--well done!
3. You don't need to be colored skinny because you're super adorable just the way you are! ;)

Oh, and
4. Love the shoes.
I love how the color of your pants perfectly matches your blog background, hehe. It must be your happy color. I painted my bathroom a similar shade and it's very relaxing :)

Gorgeous doll, I love that cardi..stripes stripes, yesssssssss :) I do love them!! Hope you have a sweet day!! xx
haha...that's funny. You don't need to be skinny, skinny doesn't mean beautiful. You look great in that mint green jeans, my favorite color at the moment. Yes wearing my favorite pieces do make me happy. But I think you feel great because you have a sweet spirit and a vivacious personality, it's all reflected in your outfits!

I can totally see why these bright pants make you happy, they are so bright and fun! I always feel great when I wear dresses that are tight on the waist but flare out into a full skirt!

Love the color of your jeans, and they are even more perfect paired with stripes!
love the skinnies and LOVE the contrasting stripes up top, you're so creative/cute! how's the half marathon training going?
Okay, here goes, my "chub eliminator" is gonna get lost in all your comments anyway (whew) - it's those stretchy girdle thingies you can get at Walmart. Whew. Don't tell...lol.
Seriously, those are great jeans! The color is insanely gorgeous, and I love it with the stripes. You are going to be the prettiest and most fave teacher evah :)
Man I just ate chocolate and tacos for dinner- good thing I'm a gym addict because I have no self control when it comes to yummy foods! Those light blue/turqouise :) coloured pants are so beautiful especially paired with the metallic sandals!
Colour me skinny - hmmm... that's how they came up with the idea of Photoshop! And you came up with a better name for it!
High waisted is my 'thinner' trick. I love your skinnies, so envious!
My instant pick-me-upper/fix-her-upper is simple: a pair of heels.
By the way, if your trying to stay away from chocolate now...wait 'til you start teaching full time... ;)
Holy Moly, you crack me up! I love this outfit. Black, white, and turquoise is such a fab color combo. And, girl, you are too silly. You look fantastically delicious every single day. :) Color me skinny, oh phooey!
Dossome :)

for me, it's black. or heels. or black WITH heels. :) hahaha. Then I totally feel a lot "thinner" :) I really love how you've worn these jeans, Tiffany! They look so pretty, and the shade is so different from the uber popular teal that's just all over the place right now!

These jeans make me smile too. Must get a pair!
Oh,I just love this! my 'trick' is black,black and more black, but in a different layered hue-like with grey,etc.
I also wear a lot of trapeze/tunic tops to hide my mid-section ;0) and my 'girls'.
great post and great look!
