She's showed remarkable self restraint in shedding the pounds following the birth of son Saint.

And Kim Kardashian was delighting in the results of her strict low carb diet plan on Thursday, as she revealed she now had a 26inch waist.

'26inches!' she boasted in unashamed delight, sharing a Snapchat of a male assistant measuring her bare waistline with a tape measure.

However despite her joy, Kim made the surprising decision to cover up for an outing later in the day.

Be a tangerine dream in an oversize sweatshirt like Kim's

When it comes to Kanye West's musical and sartorial endeavors, his wife is one of his biggest supporters. In fact, you'll often spot Kim Kardashian in pieces from the rapper turned designer's Yeezy line.

Here she wears a graphic print sweatshirt from Kanye's The Life Of Pablo collection of merchandise named after his latest album. She made sure her legs were on full display by pairing it with a denim mini skirt and a pair of nude ankle strap sandals.

Though the weather may be hot outside, it's not time to pack away those long sleeves just yet. An oversize sweatshirt is perfect for those unexpectedly chilly summer nights and can even be worn as a dress. Just keep legs bare and wear a pair of strappy heels a la Kim.

You won't find her top online, but you can get her look by shopping the edit below. From Clark Jeans to Ralph Lauren we've got styles starting at less than $40.

And the mother-of-two certainly seems happy with her post-baby body, sharing an image of her naked self earlier on Thursday.

This one was slightly more arty than her usual attempts to stir up controversy. Kim posted a black and white shot of herself having her morning coffee in bed - naked of course.

The wife of Kanye West added the hashtags for photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, the top-drawer photo team known as Mert and Marcus, who shoot for Vogue and Playboy. Adding in the caption, '#secretproject coming soon.'
