If it hasn't become obvious to you already, I'm starting to have to get quite creative to complete this outfit challenge: sweaters have become dresses and shirts have become skirts. And now, tutus have become shirts. This newest invention is thanks to my oldest sister (coincidentally, the giver of said tutu...actually the giver of an entire BAG full of colorful tutus for my most recent birthday. Best sister ever? Well, top 5, for sure.) who, well discussing my difficulty piecing together my remaining outfits during a recent Skype conversation, showed me how she wears a tutu like a shirt.
After putting together a tutu-shirted outfit for myself, I was unsure about whether I liked the whole ensemble better with or without my sweater and I emailed her asking for her opinion. Not only is she the giver of the most perfect birthday present--a bag of them--but also perfect fashion advice:
"For overall everyday chic, I prefer the sweater. The color and print on the bow in combination with the sweater gives it the perfect touch of ironically preppy, without seeming too forcefully ironic. As if you're saying: 'Psssh. You THINK I'm a nonsensical child for wearing a tutu, but if that's true how do you explain my dignified librarian sweater? Hmmmm?'"
Well? Clearly there's no explanation. Dignified librarian sweaters with non-sensical tutus it is!

ReplyDeleteOf course, I must extend an equally love-fested credit you and the rest of the top five Best Sisters Ever for any semblance of fashion sense I've developed. A true miracle, considering pictures of me from birth to about twenty-something would provide at least a decade's worth of content for a blog entitled, What NEVER EVER To Wear or Hair.
P.S. I LOVE the top middle outfit SO MUCH.
