In case you haven't paid as much attention as you normally should through the week, it's Monday. But you should also know by now that Mondays around here are marvelous. If you didn't know this, head right over here and change that.
This week's theme: breaking fashion rules!
I'm sure I do this all the time, because let's face it, most fashion rules are straight-up silly. They're too constricting, whether or not you're a fat girl, and they're not much fun.
I mean, come on—don't wear horizontal stripes? That's absurd! I am a strong supporter of the horizontal striped look because you can look like an Elvis Presley-type jailbird, a pirate, or a sailor. Or all three at the same time! What's not to love about horizontal stripes?
Of course, the reasoning behind this is that they make you look bigger. Which is silly. Just as silly as clothes that are designed to "flatter" and "conceal trouble areas." Because that toga-like tee-shirt is going to fool everyone into thinking I'm a size two, I'd imagine.
I'm also pretty sure that one of the fat-girl fashion rules is that we shouldn't wear short skirts, but my new slogan may just become "Short skirts fo' life, yo." It just feels right.
So, hopefully, I've broken two rules with this one amazing dress. I absolutely love it and can't believe I haven't worn it yet. Though, truth be told, I actually wore it out into the world yesterday, where I was accosted by wind. Not fun. No, today was spent baking a cake and some cupcakes for Casey's birthday, and I did all of that in my pajamas.

You look frigging amazing! I used to not care for stripes that much (not because of the rules though) but I've realized I actually like them a lot more than what I thought and have accumulated quite the striped collections. I really like how you accented the outfit with red too. Oh and the necklace is the best!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's not my first stripey thing, but it's my first stripey dress, and now I want a million more, haha.
DeleteAnd the necklace is great, isn't it? It was a Christmas present from my best friend.
tres sympa comme tenue tres été ;o)
ReplyDeleteMerci, j'aime cette robe!
DeleteWow! I like this outfit a lot!!! You look amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteCute dress! I love it, especially with the red belt. You look fab, and I'm totally adopting your motto as one of my own :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! The belt came with the dress, and I love the whole thing.
DeleteRemember that the "yo" at the end is vital to the motto.
That dress is legitimately beautiful. I agree horizontal stripes & short skirts for life!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's a great, twirly short skirt! That's what they should all be like. And thank you. :)
