Fashion Hack: Keeping Up Your No-Show Socks

With all of the cute new fall and winter boots coming into season, we’re starting to lovingly put away our sandals and reach for our socks. We love wearing no-show socks, but there’s always that one pair that will not stay up, no matter how much strategic adjusting we try.

It doesn’t seem to matter if they have a silicone piece on the heel or an extra tight band, sometimes nothing seems to help. This is especially true with certain types of shoes that seem to help pull your socks off. Booties and boots with interesting designs and cut-outs seem to be especially terrible at keeping no-show socks in place. This is extra frustrating when rather than sliding off of your foot, the sock seems to get bigger and somehow manages to peek out of the top of your shoe (How does that even happen?!).

So, as it’s started to cool off we’ve realized that Fearless Fashion Tape is the perfect solution to all of these problems! Here’s all you have to do to keep your pesky socks in place all day. For this hack, you’ll need either two tape dots or one tape strip that’s been torn or cut in half.

How to use Fearless Tape to hold up your no-show socks:

1. Put on your no-show socks to see how high they sit on your ankle.

2. Fold down your sock and place the tape on your ankle, just under where the sock sits.

3. Put your sock back on and rub the sock to stick it to the tape.

4. Slip on your shoes and have an awesome day without your socks bunched under the arch of your foot! 

Depending on the booties you’re wearing, your ‘no-show’ socks might still peak out. You can also use Fearless tape to keep your socks hidden. Just use the tape to stick your sock straight onto the inside of the bootie where you want it to sit.

With this neat little hack, you won’t need to worry about your socks messing up your flawless look.

You can order your Fearless Tape on Amazon. We’d love to know how you’re using it and how it’s working for you, so leave us a review and tell us what you think!

My Secret To Zero Wardrobe Malfunctions

Have you ever purchased the most perfect top (or dress), you love it so much you can hardly even stand it, but then you never end up wearing it because the dang thing doesn’t stay put? That has happened to me several times and it’s legit the most annoying thing ever. So if this happens to you too, I have the answer to your problems– Fearless Tape. It’s fashion tape that will hold your clothes into place without leaving any sticky residue. Hallelujah! Am I right? 

This multicolor stripe dress is the perfect example of why this tape is so amazing! The top portion of the dress has two panels in a sense. They don’t really connect… There’s no button and no snap of any kind. Eeeeek. I would not be able to wear this dress without Fearless Tape because hellooo I don’t want the ladies flapping about in the wind! Seriously though, if I even think about moving, the top of this dress flies open. Hard pass. I like to avoid wardrobe malfunctions! When I wear this dress all I have to do is stick one piece of Fearless Tape on each side of the neckline & voila! Miracles do happen 😉

Also hiii are you a bride or a bridesmaid? YOU NEED THIS. It’s the perfect quick fix so that nobody is showing anything that they don’t want to be on your special day if you know what I mean? I often use it for photoshoots & I’ve also seen people use it for baby bows if your little nugget’s head is too small for your fab bows. Genius! 

Anyway, it’s good stuff to have around! Use code MADAMANDREWS for 20% off of your purchase! You can snag your Fearless Tape (aka the best fashion tape) HERE.

Until next time ladies–

@BlueCollarPrep Tries Dapper Dots

Eric Wertz (@bluecollarprep) tries our Dapper Dots for the first time! He explains that as an influencer, these dots are a great tool to have on hand, because you never know when a good photo-opportunity will present itself. In fact, he now keeps a container in his glove compartment at all times - just in case!

TRICKS OF AN INFLUENCER WITH DAPPER DOTS

Being a lifestyle blogger, I’m always trying to stay on my A game. Whether I’m out trying to shoot for the blog, taking wifey out for a drink, or just running around with the family I always want my look to be photoshoot ready! 🙂 So, I’m always down to try new products that are going to help the outfit details stand out, or not stand out and help me when I’m on the fly.

I can’t believe it has taken me so long to find out about Dapper Dots. Dapper Dots are a small double-sided tape in the shape of a small circle about the size of a dime, that come perfectly packaged in a small easy open & shut tin. These dots are strong enough for just about everything clothing related. Lose a button? Neck tie keep flopping around? Collar keep popping’ up? And the most hated of them all…have a floppy belt? No problem…Dapper Dots got you! All you have to do is grab one of the sheets from the pocket-sized tin, peel off one of the dots, remove the easy-to-remove backing and press the two pieces of clothing together and you are good to go!

When wifey and I went out shooting I ended up using Dapper Dots on my watch strap to keep it from sticking out. I can’t stand it when watch straps (just like belts) don’t stay tight to each other. I also used it to help show off a little chest and my new tattoo while trying to get the perfect collar crease to the top of my shirt. In the day of Instagram, these are perfect for guys and gals like me that are trying to get the perfect shot, with all the perfect details, when out and about. I can think of multiple occasions where I had to shoot a product that needed a little finessing before being shot, so my wife had to unfortunately photoshop out the safety pins and clips we had to use. How did I not know about these?! Seriously perfect for my lifestyle!

I can already think of more instances I’ll be needing my Dapper Dots for…like when I wear baseball caps that have that extra strap hanging in the back of the hat! These dots are made to just peel right off but strong enough to stay on all day. They won’t ruin your clothes like a safety pin either, and the fact that they’re clear makes them perfectly hidden! They’ve officially found a home in my glove box and have become part of my everyday shooting.

Use my code BLUECOLLARPREP to get 20% OFF your Dapper Dots order! They also make double-sided tape strips and a combo pack. Check them out so you can perfect all those outfit details!

Mom Hacks: Making Maternity Clothes As Cute As Your Pregnancy Glow

Maternity Clothes: The Art Of Pregnancy

Oh pregnancy. Oh the poetry we could write about the pregnant days! You exciting and fun and beautiful thing. Sometimes.

Then there’s WHOA pregnancy. How the joints radiate! You sweaty and uncomfortable and achy thing. Poet Sylvia Plath described you well: “a ponderous house, a melon strolling on two tendrils.”

And as worthwhile as pregnancy’s outcome is, summer’s sizzle looms. Maternity clothes begin feeling more like ETERNITY CLOTHES, layers on top of layers on top of layers. TS Eliot’s most famous line, “April is the cruelest month,” only proves he was never pregnant in June, July, or August.  

But breathe easy these upcoming summer months; Fearless Tape’s got you covered.

And by “got you covered,” we mean in your favorite, breeziest summer styles.

Maternity Clothes: Rollin’ Up Them Shorts

Let’s talk shorts. Take even the most basic pair of everyday shorts, roll up the hems, and suddenly you’re rocking a cute, custom, summer look.

And better still, this trick gives you easy control over the length you want on any given day. It becomes a ready and blessed ventilation system for your pregnant body.

But hems only seem to stay rolled up for what, five seconds? And the idea of spending summer’s dog days pregnantly bending over our stubborn shorts again and again sounds like, well – just put us out of our misery now.

This is where Fearless Tape saves the season.

Just before you give that hem its final roll, use some Fearless Tape to seal the deal. And enjoy basking in the sun with those hems staying rolled up all day.

Just remember to remove the Fearless Tape before throwing the shorts in the wash. Otherwise, gross.

Maternity Clothes: Those Off-The-Shoulder Dresses Though

Is there a cuter summer style than off-the-shoulder dresses? Seriously, though. If there is, we want to know. Talk about a great way to stay cool and look adorable!

But when “off the shoulder” describes more your constant fumbling with straps, it takes some of the fun away from all the cuteness. Adding a little Fearless Tape keeps the fun of wearing your favorite dresses right where it should be.  

With Fearless Tape, move your arms however you please.

Maternity Clothes: Turning a “Waist” into a Sure Thing

When pregnant, the idea of a waist can sound quaint. Waist? What?

But waist belts, bands, and ribbons are staples in pregnancy fashion. If only they were as secure as staples too. Ribbons stretch and slide, bands roll up, and belt ends curl out and twist around.  

Fearless Tape fixes all these issues and keeps any waist detail where you want it all day. (Which is awesome because these details decorate your unique, temporary shape in such fun ways.)

Simply stick some Fearless Tape underneath where you want the detail, and it will hold all day stress free.

You and your gorgeous pregnant glow deserve to wear what you want when you want. And Fearless Tape gives you that freedom. It makes your everyday feel more put together and, most importantly, more comfortable.
