One Shouldered Tops and Dresses

By -
The one shouldered trend has been roaring all summer, and to be honest, I have a mixed feelings about it. It can be a modern and sexy take on Grecian, especially if you have great arms, but take note of a few guidelines when wearing it.

I've seen many women who are unaware of their bodies and the lines they are creating, and they end up with a one-shouldered top that makes them look overly broad-shouldered or does strange things to their breasts. This can be solved with a different strap width.

Also, this trend requires a strapless or convertible bra. Wearing a normal bra looks out of place. Going without a bra can make you look lopsided. Also, make sure you're not showing cleavage as that makes you, not the shirt, look asymmetrical.

In summation, think of your boobies, ladies!Top: white dress with black floral print, Dillard's $59

I have that hot pink Forever 21 dress in the blue. Very pretty, but you have to wear it very carefully. One of those dresses where you have to be constantly aware of your body.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at ...

You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
