Petite, Curvy, Curvy Hips, Full Bust, Tall:

I was browsing through Seventeen magazine, looking for the article "              for every body type!"
Fill in the blank with: jeans, coats, sweaters, pants, shoes, hair accessories, you get the point.
They have at least one of these articles in every one of their magazines, and I always wonder how they can find something for every body type.
Then I decided to pay attention
The categories are divided into: Petite, Curvy, Curvy Hips, Full Bust, Tall
And as you read the comments for why you should wear this, you realize that this actually means:
Short (and probably heavy), Heavy set, Big Ass-No Boobs, Big Boobs-No Ass, and Amazonian with no curves whatsoever.

I do understand that they are trying to cover the basic body shapes, which are: Hourglass, Triangle, Upside down triangle, and rectangular. But those aren't remotely the same thing.
I feel like this is misleading, trying to say they have clothes for every body type.
And while if you're short with  a full bust you can look at both of them, that's not true. Because they give you comments in the side and some of the conflict with each other.
Maybe, because I'm short, I don't want to wear vertical stripes to make me look taller. Or if I have a full bust, maybe I don't want to wear a halter top.  If I have "curvy hips" I don't want to have to wear a straight leg pant. Because I don't even know if I have curvy hips!
Women are delusional about their body shapes anyways, and it's not like Seventeen gives you a guide on how to tell what you are. I want to be "full bust", so maybe I will try to wear some from that section. That doesn't mean I'm actually "full bust". How big do your boobs actually have to be to be classified as "full bust?"
Its asinine.
I just think that if they advertise it in that way, then they should really have clothes for every body type!
I would like to point out that this is probably a result of the male-run media. I'm not trying to go off onto some feminist rant, but if it really was all women creating a publishing this, I doubt they would choose body types like that.
Instead, these are the classifications that guys put women in, right?

Yeah, exactly.

Bras: they're called underwear for a reason.

This isn't going to be naughty, so don't worry. Maybe a little graphic, but we're all adults.
I doubt there is anything I dislike more than when my bra is more noticeable than the clothes I'm wearing.
 A bra should rarely be used as an accessory. I say rarely, because with the right out for the right occasion with the right bra, I'm sure it could be deemed appropriate.
However, wearing your bright pink racer back bra, with your electric blue sleeveless shirt so everyone can see said straps on your back, is not appropriate.
Unfortunately, I was unable to snap a picture of this particular offense because I am not sly at taking pictures.
And I don't know how to turn off that camera sound my phone makes when taking a picture.
I didn't want to get beat up.
There are just so many options for bras nowadays, that I don't understand why that would even be necessary.
It would've even been better had the bra not been hot pink. Maybe a nude color? At least pretend like you aren't trying to show it off.

Strapless bra

Even better would've been a strapless bra. Now I completely understand that everyone has different sized boobs, and the bigger they are the harder it is to wear a strapless bra. However, they do make them. The bra above has awesome coverage, and goes all the way through a size 38DD. If you're bigger than that, Fredericks of Hollywood makes tons of bras for those of you who are more well endowed.
Everyone needs at least one strapless bra. And I would definitely get it in either black, white, or nude. Unless you're buying lingerie, I suggest buying all of yours bras in one of these three colors.
It just doesn't make sense to buy some bright colored bra, because chances are you wont be able to wear it with as much as you could the other colors.
I know, boring. But it's the truth. When you leave the house, the emphasis should be on your outfit. Not the orange strap hanging out of your shirt.
Now let me warn you, nice bras are expensive. Which is why I am such a supporter of the neutral colors. Get more use out of your money by buying a bra you can wear with everything. I believe in every one's bra collection there should be one strapless bra, one racer back bra, one push up bra, one t-shirt bra, a sports bra, and one lacy colored bra.
I, personally, have a fascination for bra's and underwear, so I own a million.

Unless you are planning to lose or gain a significant amount of weight, these bras should last you awhile because your bra size shouldn't change that often after you turn 18. 
I have heard a rumor that you should buy new bras every 3 months. If you have the money to buy new bras every 3 months, then be my guest. But if you're poor like me, I'm sure you can make them last, they are created to be rather durable. Though once they start to rip, or the under wire gets bent, it is time to toss them.
*Never put a bra in the dryer, unless you are trying to ruin the under wire.


Another thing I have noticed is ill-fitting bra's. Especially when it comes to the strap that goes around your back.
Everyone should be fitted for a bra. Because many people can be slightly delusional about the size bra they actually wear. Anyone can squeeze into an 34 A. It just doesn't look good on anyone who isn't actually a 34A.
Bras go from 32 to 38 for a reason. If it is too tight around your chest, move up a size. No one can see the tag when it is under your shirt. And it will create smoother lines on your back when wearing tight fitting shirts.
You also don't want the strap to ride up in the back. it should sit comfortably around your chest when the straps are tightened to where they need to be.
They also make two-hook and three-hook clasps in the back.
Bigger boobs = more clasps. It will keep it from riding up and cutting into your skin.


I would also like to point out that nowadays, they make bras in a million shapes for whatever you're wearing.

Biofit 7-way Bra

I personally love the one above because it can be worn in so many different ways. I really think that bras and bra straps should remain hidden. They also make bras that cut low in the front for low cut shirts, bras that cut low in the back for shirts that are backless, racer back bras for tank tops, etc. They even make the Perfect Strap thing if you don't own a racer back bra but would like to wear a normal bra underneath a tank top. There are solutions everywhere.

Now, if you have a smaller chest, there are bras for you too!
There are a million push-up bras out there, if you want a little more oomph. The Victoria's Secret Miraculous bra, is indeed, miraculous. I have given it as a gift to some friends, and they loved it.
However, boobs aren't that big of a deal and if you don't care for them then you don't need to try and push-them up.
I actually am sometimes jealous of girls with smaller boobs, those are the sizes that are always available!
You can literally find a bra everywhere.
And also, you can sometimes go bra-less.

Bandeau

That wasn't a joke, I'm being serious.
If you need to wear an undershirt, as I said above, opt for a bandeau. They have less material, so you wont get as hot and you wont have weird lines under your shirts.They are perfect for those shirts that cut low in the back, because you can just wear a strapless bra under the bandeau.
So, now that you're finished reading this. Run out to your local bra store and get fitted. It is always handy to know what size you are. I promise. Boobs aren't even that big of a deal.
Wear your size proudly, no one can see the tag except for you anyways. <3

As a last note. I would absolutely recommend this bra to anyone, regardless of what size your boobs are. It is comfy, has great lines, and even a tiny bit of lace to make it sexy:

Dream Angels Demi

Let's just take a moment...

and talk about Glee. I love this show. Although I do think season 1 volume 1 was way better than the second volume, I still am addicted to it.
Maybe I'm just addicted to musicals.
Anyways, if you have never seen the show I definitely recommend it. It sounds like a dumb show, but you actually get hooked. If you don't like it, well I don't really care.
I just wanted to post a few pictures from the recent GQ spread that three of the characters did. Lea Michele, Diana Agron, and Cory Monteith otherwise known as Rachel, Quinn, and Finn all participated in this shoot.
It is super scandalous, and I was shocked. I also absolutely loved it!

Supposedly, actress Diana Agron confessed this was the most skin she had ever shown in a photo shoot. On the other hand, Lea Michele didn't seem to have a problem taking off her clothes.
The show is on Tuesdays at 7 on Fox, if you're interested in watching. I always have to watch on Hulu because my Tuesdays are so busy! Next week they are doing a Rocky Horror Picture Show, it sounds cute!
Before I go, I will post another picture and the link so you can see all the dirty pictures yourself!

Glee photo shoot

Not a fan-equin of the mannequin

Let's not point out how not funny my cheesy headline for this post is. It gets the job done, and my point across.

mannequins

If you haven't guessed yet, I'm going to write about puppies eating flowers with babies.
Kidding.
Although, those are all very cute things that would have very cute pictures next to them.
I'm just going to throw this out there: Stop dressing like Forever 21 mannequins. Or any other mannequins for that matter. I say Forever 21, just because that is what I have had personal experience in seeing. I'm sure there are mannequin impostors from a variety of other stores.

Now it is true that it is someones job to come in and style all the mannequins. The reason this is done is to give buyers some ideas on how they can put certain pieces together. A lot of stores have a tendency to give the models a more dramatic look than anyone should actually wear.
They do give people fresh ideas on how things can be worn together. I will not deny that. I have absolutely seen things on mannequins, and have searched through the store to find that shirt, or skirt, or whatever else it was.
I just think that sometimes dressing similar to the mannequin is taken to the extreme. Extreme as in dressing identically like the mannequin. There is a very exclusive group that can pull of dressing as eccentrically as these dolls in the store, and that is reserved for models and celebrities. You have to be a size negative zero, and have the height of an amazon to attempt these looks. It's the sad truth. So don't even feel bummed when that killer outfit looks completely different on you than how it looked on the mannequin

Forever 21 mannequin

 I would like to comment on the photo above briefly, because I think some of the outfits in it are very strange. Wouldn't that first outfit be way cuter without that ugly blue flannel? And the second outfit, who wears plaid tutu's besides Avril Lavigne? And the last visible outfit, the third one, do people really walk around with their shoes all the way unlaced? I don't know about you, but I definitely don't.

I would also like to warn you that everyone knows when you dress like a mannequin. It is glaringly obvious to even the most oblivious onlookers. I have confidence in everyone that they can put together a great looking outfit without even glancing at a mannequin. For the most part, only you know what looks good on you. And also what kind of style you like to dress in. Trust me, skip the mannequin look, and go for something on your own wavelength, whatever that may be.
On a slightly related note, many magazines, such as Seventeen, put together a series of outfits for you using one item. Or something like that. While they have a lot of ideas, putting together the same outfit will look just as ridiculous as dressing like a mannequin. If we all dressed like that, then we would all look like cookie-cutter people, and that's just weird. So, don't be a sponge! And when I say that I mean don't absorb everything you see. Pick out a few key things in the outfits that you like, and look for similar items and put them together in your own way! True authenticity.
And keep reading my blog! If you don't think you can put together an outfit better than Forever 21, then I am here to help! Or maybe you don't think I have style, and in that case I'm still here to entertain.
Making my self laugh out loud.

Invest in: Motorcycle Boots

I know all my most recent posts have been about shoes. I apologize, but I have just seen so many heinous shoe crimes lately that I feel the need to comment.

Since it's been raining here all day, I would like to dedicate this post to rain boots. Or pseudo-rain boots also known as motorcycle boots.
While these Juicy Couture rain boots are to die for. I generally think that rain boots are hideous.
They are literally unflattering on everyone. Unless you're a model splashing around in puddles for a photo-op, I don't think they should be worn.
Even if you match your outfit to your rain boots, they still aren't cute.
i.e. girl this morning wearing bright yellow rain boots, unflattering jeans, a yellow undershirt and polka dot sweatshirt. Still doesn't work.
I assume that people wear rain boots to keep their feet dry, and they feel there is no alternative.
There is!

not rain boots

I started seeing motorcycle boots last spring, and they have definitely continued into the fall, and I guarantee they will still be worn into next spring if not next fall as well.
Alternative to rain boots = Leather Motorcycle Boots
They are completely water repellent. I swear, I have trudged through puddles wearing them. They are super cute and fashionable, especially in you find ones that go to your knee or over the knee. I would also like to note, that unlike rain boots which have a lot of space around your calves to let the water fall in when its pouring, these normally hug your legs, thus keeping all water out.

I hate to admit it, but I doubt you will find a durable pair for less than $50 dollars. 
While I know you think that it would just be cheaper to go out to Target and pick up a pair of striped rain boots. Please, don't. You will look like a duck waddling around all day, and trust me I have seen quite a few ducks today. Plus rain boots aren't even comfortable on your feet, no matter how many pairs of socks you wear.

Leather boots can literally be worn with anything, rain or shine. So they wont just get you through those cloudy days, they will also keep you looking kick-ass in a sundress during spring, or out at night paired with a dark denim skinny pants.
I can't stress enough how much I love boots like this. The ones above were recently purchased by room mate for around $50 dollars. The pair I own go over the knee, and I bought them for about $50 dollars as well. I have gotten so much use out of my boots, and so many compliments. They were definitely worth it.

Now, I would also like to comment on leather boots with heels. I have nothing against them, and I think when worn with the right outfits they are adorable. These work just as well against rain, however if you're going to be doing a lot of walking then boots without heels are comfier. Obviously.
Now places they can be found is a bit trickier. I found the pair I own at Nordstrom Rack (my favorite place in the world), I know Charlotte Russe has some out on display although I'm not sure what they cost. Department stores will definitely have them, but I doubt you will find them for any less than $75 dollars. These are just one of those things you have to look around for. They come in all different lengths, heights, and shoe styles so look for some that will fit nicely into your wardrobe. I wouldn't recommend trying something out of your comfort zone style-wise when buying these boots, because these are wardrobe staple that you will want to have for years to come!

To Ugg or not to Ugg: Is it even a question?

In my opinion, Uggs might be the most debatable fashion item on the market. I own a pair, at one point I owned two pairs. I love the things. But I do have to admit they are ridiculously ugly.
I wouldn't even label them as a shoe as much as I would a glorified slipper. A slipper with a rubber bottom so you can wear them outside. Somewhat like moccasins, but warmer.

uggaustralia.com

 

 

According my uncle, who has been known for telling quite a story, Uggs were originally worn by surfers when they went to the beach early in the morning. They kept their feet warm before and after they got out of the freezing waters and they also kept the sand out as they walked on the beach. This story seems viable, although don't quote me on it. It makes sense though, right? 

My story is further enhanced by this lovely picture of Pamela sporting Uggs on the beach.

Don't even think they match your swimsuit, because I promise that they don't.

While the comfy ones aren't waterproof, they are perfect for running to the grocery store in the cold, or even wearing in the lodge of a ski resort. I would even go as far to say that these are great airport shoes, because they are so easy to remove and put back on when going through security. These are a symbol of ultimate comfort.

While many people ridicule these boots, once you wear them you realize that your feet are so warm you don't want to take them off.

You can wear Uggs only when wearing pajamas, sweats, or leggings. Uggs with jeans or any kind of shorts are just a hot mess. Never with a dress. I repeat, never.

 

igotuggs.com 

Sometimes, Uggs have a tendency to make your calves look wider then they are. I would assume this is because you cant see your ankle, and since they are twice the width of your leg, you end up looking like you have fat calves. Another reason they should never be worn with jeans, shorts, or a dress.

 

This is actually an item I would suggest investing in. Just one pair though, you don't need to get Ugg crazy.

I will caution you that they are quite expensive for slippers, but as long as you aren't trudging through slush they last for quite awhile.

I also recommend that if you are going to get a pair, get the real thing. Imitation ones just don't cut it. If you're already going to wear something ugly, you might as well be ugly in a brand name. Bear Paw boots are also very warm and durable and cost quite a bit less.

Take caution, many boys have voiced that Uggs might possibly be the Ugg-liest (I crack my self up) shoes a girl could own. Wear them sparingly and only for comfort, not for style.

Moon Shoes Vs. Shape-Ups

Now, while I willing admitted in my last post to wearing toning shoes, my toning shoes have nothing appearance-wise on Shape-Ups.
I literally think Shape-Ups are the most unattractive shoe anyone could have ever designed.  Besides those weird toe-shoes.
I will now compare them to Moon Shoes. Let's note the similarities:

 gamerzplanet.net
My siblings and I each had a pair of these. I'm pretty sure I was around 10 years old, and to use them you had to strap your shoes into them. Essentially like walking on mini-trampolines.
Just like Shape-Ups!
Can you believe at 10 years old, I already new that these shoes would tone my glutes and abs, so I would become a work-out queen.
Another attempt at humor.
I think the designers at Skechers stole the idea for Shape-Ups from these very Moon Shoes.

skechers.com/shape_ups
Now, unless you are under 4'5 and need these shoes to reach the gas pedal when you're driving, please don't wear them.
I promise everyone walking by you is secretly laughing at you.
Speaking of things these shoes remind me of.
Remember when the Spice Girls were big, and platform sneakers were all the rage in young girls. I know I loved those things. These also remind me of Spice Girl-esque platforms.


If you're looking for a toning shoe, many other companies are competing with Skechers, and are coming out with better designed toning shoes.
Like the Reebok Easy Tone shoes, which I own.
New Balance has a line of nice looking balance inspired shoes.
Avia also has a toning shoe that is not quite as dramatic as the Shape-Up

Though I still really recommend the Easy Tone <3
If you are looking into investing in a shoe like this, and trust me it is an investment, then definitely shop around and look for a pair that don't look like you will be attempting to walk on the moon with them.

A little glimpse into the future of me blogging about weird shoes. In the next couple of posts or so, these shoes will be appearing:

It's not the 90's, you don't need to grunge

People keep telling me, in a few months at college you're not going to want to get ready anymore. What? No I don't like this. It doesn't take that long to throw on clothes. So while you say huge sweatpants and a giant hoodie, I'm thinking trouser leggings, motorcycle boots and a leopard blazer.
While we are two very different people, there are ways to be comfy and look cute.
I swear it's true.
Seriously though, why put on a enormous pair of sweatpants that are barely being held up by the drawstring.
Instead, wear a fitted yoga pant, or yoga capri. They are to die for comfortable. Plus they are actually very warm, and if you live in the freezing cold layer them over a skinny legging and you will be toasty warm.
For awhile, the only yoga pants I had seen were at Victoria's Secret. However, I wasn't really looking. They can be found for way cheaper at stores like Ross and Marshall's, in the active wear sections. If you want to go pricey, you can be my guest. But I'm always looking for a deal, so I highly recommend checking out the cheaper wear first. And by cheaper, I do not mean lesser quality. The prices are just much more affordable.

yoga pantsyoga capris
What I love most about pants like this is how they fit around the waist. They don't give you any unflattering lines or love handle bumps. They just fold over. I definitely suggest investing in 2 or 3 pairs if you are a "grunger".
Now that you're partially dressed, I know you're looking in your closet staring at your brothers old lacrosse hoodie thinking about how warm and soft it is.
Stop right there.
Chances are that the sweatshirt you're staring at makes you look like a balloon.  Why don't you grab a zip-up sweatshirt instead, preferably one in your size. The nice thing about sweaters like this is you can make your sports bra look like an undershirt, and no one will know the difference.
Sweatshirts in your size also give you more of a shape. So instead of people looking at you and knowing immediately you jut woke up, you can give the illusion that you could have possibly just got done working out and have been up for hours.
I think this is ingenious.

 americanapparel.com

However, when wearing workout gear, remember it should be more form-fitting because that allows you more flexibility while you are working out.
If you have decided not to invest in the yoga pant, grab a pair of leggings. They are just as effective at giving off that working out vibe.
Personally, I like to wear leggings with a long, loose-fitting tank (to cover my butt), a sports bra, and then an unzipped sweatshirt. Super comfy, super easy to just throw on and run out the door.

Lastly, everyone needs some sort of workout shoe. Especially as a college student, you have to walk everywhere. If you want to give off that work-out vibe, definitely wear a tennis shoe.
Keep it on the down low, but I wear pair of Reebok Easy Tone shoes.

tennis shoes

I know it sounds super dorky, and you probably don't even think they work, but what's the harm in trying. Personally, walking back and forth to my classes in a day means I am walking at least 2 miles. Why not try to tone my butt and legs while I'm at it? Plus, unlike Shape-Ups, no one even knows I'm wearing work-out shoes.

I love them, don't judge.

Anyways, get a cute pair of work-out shoes. They never hurt or rub, and they get you from point A to point B with comfort.

As a side note, I would recommend not wearing a matching track suit. It looks more authentic and work-out-like if it is similar colors but not matching. But if you would like to match, then be my guest. Just my opinion.

So the next time you roll out of bed with no intention of getting ready. Reach for your "work-out clothes", I put that in quotations because you definitely don't need to work-out to own work-out clothes. And then when you run into that hot guy from one of your classes, he wont see another dude but instead he will be impressed because he will think you're athletic!

Oh us girls, we are so tricky.

It isn't just about the brand, but sometimes it is

4 posts in one day. Yeah I'm blog obsessed. Or just procrastinating from all the studying I should be doing, but instead I am putting it off until tomorrow.
Don't tell.
Anyways, back to the subject of this post, my roommate and I were just discussing the importance of designer label jeans. You know what I'm talking about, the ones with the embellished pockets that lets the world know just how expensive you like your jeans. I would have to say, I don't particularly love this trend. On the opposite hand, sometimes these jeans do fit better than some cheaper styles of jeans, a lot of the time they do not. I don't understand why you need to have colored threading up the yin-yang, and two big horseshoes on your butt-cheeks.  They might as well put hand prints so it doesn't look like you've been kicked in the ass by a horse, and instead promotes the image that your butt is so desirable it needs to be touched.
That was a joke, sort of.

courtesy of yourjeanshow.com

Even if you wear said jeans with plain v-neck, that is not a style. It is not a trend, and no where in any magazine will you find that look. Your jeans can't be your stand-out accessory. It just isn't a good idea.
So the next time you're looking for jeans, please do me a favor and assess how they fit over everything else. There is nothing sexier than a nice fitting pair of jeans.
For those who are shorter than your average 6 foot model, even if the jeans are too long, they can always be hemmed. That should not factor into how they fit you.
If you're bigger in your hips and thighs I recommend dark denim, because it minimizes size while light washes will just appear larger. 
I would also recommend that you can bend over somewhat comfortably without having 6 inches of your butt-crack showing. But, if you like the breeze then be my guest.
Lately, I've noticed ripped denim is pretty much done, if it had really started to begin with. Unless your name is Ke$ha, then you probably shouldn't own more than 2 pairs of ripped jeans. While these can work as casual I-just-woke-up-and-haven't-gotten-ready-yet wear, they aren't that classy.
Now, I'm not saying all designer jeans are like this. A lot of high-end denim carries simpler jeans that are for more everyday wear. Seven For All Mankind and Hudson are two of my favorite denim designers, and they can also be found at more affordable prices at places like the Nordstrom Rack. Since I am a poor college student, this is my only way to get jeans.
Also highly recommend are Forever 21 jeans. They are unbelievably affordable, and also comfortable and look great on just about everyone. You can never go wrong there.

forever21.com



You shouldn't discredit something just by the brand. Unless of course you have tried to shop there numerous times and continue to find absolutely nothing. Which is exactly how I feel about Charlotte Russe. This is completely my opinion but I cannot stand the place. I have never found anything there, and I always feel like their clothes are about to fall apart. My apologies if you enjoy shopping there.

Moral of the story: from a fashionable point of view, embellished jeans are tacky and make you look incompetent at putting an outfit together.

I know I said this wasn't going to be a thrifting blog but..

So I know in the introduction I explained that thrifting wasn't exactly my thing, but occasionally I cave and I did find some awesome things at the local Savers.
2 chunky knit sweaters later, I'm only 8 dollars in the hole. The one thing I love about thrift stores would be the moment they tell you your price and you marvel at the cost of what you bought. It's practically stealing!
I got a white Eddie Bauer sweater in size XL to wear with my purple cords <3
And then a grey chunky turtleneck to be worn with a black skirt, knit tights,and motorcycle boots.
Yes, love. I'm in love. Savers was by far the best shopping, and most affordable shopping I've seen in this dinky town.
That makes me a bit nostalgic.
While I'm on the topic of thrift stores, you should definitely find a Buffalo Exchange. No joke, it s a bit pricier than your Goodwill but it is usually worth it. They carry brands sold in higher end stores, and usually you can get an awesome deal.
Once again, I cry at the thought that where I live doesn't have a Buffalo.

So, if you're going to wear a chunky sweater you need to pair it with a tighter piece of clothing. Because if not you end up resembling the Michelin Man. Which is never cute, unless you're going out for Halloween. 

Speaking of Halloween. Which is just a hop, skip and a jump away, Halloween Costumes stores are evil.
They never have your size, they are all made to fit everyone so they never really fit anyone very well.
If you're creative, I suggest putting your own together, because it is usually cheaper and usually fits better. However, you can get lucky and find a super cute costume that fits you perfectly. You just have to be willing to look.
If you were curious, I'm not dressing up for Halloween. Against my roommates demands, I just don't feel the need to be dressed up in barely anything and parade around in the 30 degree weather. I know, I'm lame.
Sue me.

Love this. Too bad I'm having shipping issues. Courtesy of urbanoutfitters.com

I love

leotards. All colors, shapes, and fits. I know you're laughing to yourself. You're thinking I'm crazy, who wears leotards, besides ballerinas of course. This girl, right here.
They are an absolute necessity to your wardrobe. With all the high-waisted skirts and shorts, and even pants now, you need a leotard to wear under them. You don't want that embarrassing shirt role, that makes you look like you have an extra pair of hips. Nor do you want to be inconspicuously lifting up your skirt all day to pull down the edge of your shirt. Leotards are essential, end of story.  
My favorite place to find them: American Apparel. They sell them under the name "bodysuits" and they have them in all different sleeve lengths.

 courtesy of www.americanapparel.com

While they actually make going to the bathroom somewhat challenging, who said that fashion had to be comfortable? On the other hand, if you're wearing high-waisted pants or shorts, you probably wont be getting any anyway.
I'm not hating on anything high-waisted. I, personally, swear by the stuff. Wearing a leotard is a two-time deal. Once when you put it on, and once when you take it off.
You can be even more fashionable if you wear a high-waisted item with heels. Preferably wedges.
Wedges are functional, and fashionable, and shouldn't be discredited as a summer shoe. Just make sure they're closed toe or peep-toe and as winter rolls around you can throw on a pair of tights or socks.

I found this image using google, originally coming from fashionnerdic.com
(Not sure how this copyright stuff works, so I am actually terrified of using pictures.)

To recap, today we learned that:
A. You need a leotard if you ever want to wear anything high-waisted. End of story.
B. Wedges are winter and summer shoes, depending on what you wear them with.

No one will read this but...

I'm inspired. Truly. I've been reading other blogs all day, and I really want to give this a try.
Just a bit of quick info about me:
Student, Taurus, Journalism/Public Relations major
Interested in: Fashion, Grammar, and Affordable Clothing
This isn't going to be: another thrift store blog. I'm alright when shopping at thrift stores, but I just get so lazy.
I would also like to note, being a student on a campus that isn't particularly fashionable really inhibits my entire life. While people are walking around in their parkas and eco-friendly sandals, I will be in ankle boots with slouch socks over tights in a bright colored pea-coat and velvet mini-dress.
*I don't actually have all these items yet, being a broke college student, but I hope to emulate this look soon.
