dangerous curves ahead.
People, the world is trapped in a trend. Everywhere I go all I see is boxy/drapey/flowy/batwing/dolman/oversize/wide-as-can-be tops! An extra small shirt now fits like an XL, and it’s like attack of the Flashdance shoulder all over again. Don’t get me wrong there are some styles that I desperately covet, but this trend is a bad trap for so many; namely, the curvy girls. If you’ve got a bump in the road you needn’t steer clear, but you do need to avoid some dangerous curves! Lesson 1: you must carve out a waist, be it by belting or simply tucking in your top. Lesson 2: add gravity with a chunky necklace or tailored blazer to balance out your ensemble. I’ve created a little flow chart to help demonstrate, so ladies if you’ve got it then flaunt this…
if you've got it, flaunt this.

1) when are we going to see a post on the tie die trend?
2) when are we going to have a tie die party with some hanes?
I would like answers to both ASAP. And I am serious about #2. We can do it on my back porch!
PS I just got the cutest drapey nautical shirt. I am definitely a girl with a bump in the road! Ooops. But… drapey = comfy! Binding = sausage casings.
PS… I’m padding your # of comments as usual 🙂 Here’s my new Drapey shirt. What say you?

PS… I know, NY and CO… random. But I was killing time in a mall in North Carolina and it was either that or Aeropostale. Don’t judge.
