Fruit as fashion.

Band T-Shirts.

The other day I was having a conversation with one of my friends and we started talking about band t-shirts. I had made the statement that I would have bought a t-shirt at a concert I had attended but they were all very masculine. I was referring to the design on the front of the shirt but my friend pointed out that many women complain about the fit of band t-shirts.  The biggest complainant seems to be the fit is unflattering, baggy and on petite girls, the shoulder seems and sleeves hang down excessively far. I had never thought of this before seeing as how I can wear a men’s size small and look just fine. I realize I am not like most women though I have very broad shoulders for a girl, and even though the unisex/masculine cut of most band t-shirts is not very flattering on me and I can manage to accessorize and pull the look off.  Some bands do offer baby doll women’s cuts in there t-shirts, but honestly most the baby doll cut t-shirts with bands on them are solid in large change stores and have only legendary but defunct bands on them. Therefore, until more band t-shirts find themselves offered in women flattering styles I have rummaged through some sets on polyvore.com to provide some suggestions on how to pull them off unfaltering cut and all.

I love this jacket

This jacket by 3.1 Phillip Lim is amazing. It is also way out of my budget, but I can still look at the photos of it and drool. $1,750 at netaporter.com

Plaid

I admit this skirt is a little odd, after all for me it has a country meets grunge feel. For some odd reason I like it a lot and can see it being a good staple wardrobe piece for the fall.

$ 298 FreePeople.

Leggings flashback.

I am quite fond of these leggings even though they have an early 90’s feel to them. I keep thinking of pairing them with a denim mini and a band t-shirt. $20 lulus.com

Little Red Riding Hood.

This hooded sweater jacket has a charming storybook quality to it.
Also available in grey,$148 at freepeople.com

Time for cardigans.

There is nothing I like wearing more in the fall then cardigan sweaters. I blame my obsession on my daily watching of Mr. Rogers when I was a child.
At any rate check out some cardigans I came across on freepeople.com, and expect more cardigan posts as fall approaches.

The perfect sweater dress.

I seem to have a weakness for sweater dresses in general for whatever reason. I love the cut of this dress, simple yet feminine. The natural color makes it versatile and a smart edition to any wardrobe. $88 at fossil.com

Animal prints.

Okay so these are not technically animal prints, but what they are for sure is cute. Here are some examples of how to bring the call of the wild into your wardrobe.

Rainbow Bright Idea

I love the bright colors and one shoulder style of this dress.
It could be interesting to pair it with some shiny black leggings, high-heeled gladiator sandals and a clutch purse.

$39 Target

Maximize your style.

A maxi dress is perfect for the transition from spring into summer. They look super cute and stylish with a denim jacket, leather jacket, cardigan or a crochet wrap.

Below are some of my favorites of their spring/summer 2009 collection.

Curiouser and curioser

These Alice in wonderland-inspired tees are like little pieces of artwork. They are as adorable in person as online and oh so comfortable. I own the rabbit tee and have gotten many compliments on it. I plan to get the Cheshire cat one too. Only thing is they run big so you may want to order a size down from what you usually wear. $28 each at urban outfitters.
