Fun Fashion Quote
Angie and I both love this message from Alison at Wardrobe Oxygen:
“Some day I just feel like breaking as many fashion rules as I can in one outfit. If you’re short, don’t wear wide-leg pants. If you’re short wear heels to elongate your legs, especially with wide-leg pants. If you’re short-waisted don’t wear high-waisted pants they will only shorten your torso further. If you have a tummy for goodness sake cover that thing up especially if you have *gasp* stretch marks. And if you’re over 40 you shouldn’t even THINK about any of these fashion trends!! Sorry world, I’m 44 and have very few effs left to give. Life is too short to not enjoy what you wear so I’m going to wear alllll the things and break alllll the rules. And you know what? Everywhere I went in this outfit, fellow women complimented me. It can be stylish to be a rule breaker!”
