Doing what she does best, Jessica Simpson continues on her tour with Rascal Flatts, performing earlier this week at the Florida Strawberry Festival on March 8 in Plant City, FL. Looks like Jess is trying to rewind to her Daisy Dukes days with this ‘fit, but it’s amazing what a nice coat of spray-tan can do for a girl – doesn’t she look a thousand times better than she did at the Chili Cook-Off in January? At the Strawberry Festival, Jessica started with a turquoise belt over her favorite pair of tattered denim shorts (try Denim of Virtue’s Boyfriend Cut-Off Shorts in Distressed), a white eyelet corset (try a similar eyelet top like Gold Hawk’s Tribal Eyelet Camisole in White Essence), and a casual brown plaid button-up (try Prairie NY’s refined Wool Bowling Jacket in Plaid). Do you think the delicate eyelet and lumberjack plaid work together? Maybe it’s just me but I don’t think it’s the best combo… although it’s still worlds better than the high waist jeans from the Chili Cook-Off! Jessica completed her ‘fit with a bunch of brown and silver bangles (try Accessories & Beyond’s 15 Bronze Leather Bracelets with Gold) and of course, sky high t-strap heels. How she stands on stage belting out song after song in those things, I will never know. What do you think of Jessica’s new and improved look? It seems like she is sending mixed messages about her weight – first defending herself, telling friends,"I'm not fat. Going from a size 2 to a size 8, that's not fat. If I weren't Jessica Simpson, no one would care." She has a point there, but then she went and rehired trainer Mike Alexander, who whipped her booty into shape for The Dukes of Hazzard a few years back. Mike is known as the “Food Nazi” and is restricting her to a 1,250 calorie a day diet to help her drop the 20 lbs she’s gained. He commented on her progress: "Jessica is now at the end of her tour and looks great. It’s not easy to have a super strict diet when you are touring so you just have to make the best of the restaurants you go too but she’s knows what to eat and what not to and we talk about all of that." As long as somebody’s looking out for her (and steering her away from fashion faux pas like the one above), I’m glad to see Jess looking better and getting back into shape. Not that I’m agreeing with critics that she got “soooo fat,” but it’s pretty obvious she left herself go a little and it’s never a bad thing to go the healthy route. What do you all think?

FAT!guest on Mar 15 2009 @ 07:04 AM
4:18.. that's crazy. her legs couldn't be more toned and i don't see fat hanging over her shorts. just stop...guest on Mar 15 2009 @ 04:54 PM
4:54..oh thats too bad you should invest in a pair of glasses cause your vision is severly impaired.. the fat is blatantly obvious her legs are short and chunkyy ..corsets are meant to give one a smaller appearing waist and her stomach is apparently billowing over her oh so classy and sophiticated daisy dukes which by the way her thunder thighs seem to be slowly but surly splitting ..if anyone can argue that she looks fashionable or not trashy than looks like theyve been spending way too much time at the old trailer parkguest on Mar 15 2009 @ 05:55 PM
It's not an old picture, she just keeps wearing those same Daisy Dukes over and over, she probably has worn the same thing in the past hahaguest on Mar 15 2009 @ 09:07 PM
