I love to people watch. Besides the entertainment factor in catching someone slightly trip over his/her own feet right in front of you (and actually believing that nobody saw), there's an entire lookbook of streetstyle at your fingertips. I've tried to build a habit of grabbing my camera every time I leave the house, and although I tell myself I will document each ingenious fashion creation I come accross, somehow I always fail to live up to my expectations. However, today I vowed that I would remember every minute detail of this woman's outfit, and for the past hour have tried to reconstruct it through the use of my personal Holy Grail: The Internet.
I've recently grown to adore skirts (especially now that the weather actually allows me to wear them). My favorite? Tight, cotton, pencil skirts. They're versatile, cheap, and sexy, but today actually changed my life. The Paperbag waistline has moved on up to #1 on my list, and let me just tell you why.
A. Sinching at the waistline allows anyone to wear a tight fitting tee or tank because it successfully hides any problem areas around the belly.
B. Detailing in the waistline adds character to the outfit, minimizing the need for too many accessories and making it easy to look "simply chic".
C. It's an extremely flattering fit, giving an hour glass appearance.
Thank you, random woman at the mall, for allowing me to fall in love.
Sincerely,
-L.
