B O D Y

40.5. 34. 26. 38.
shoulders. bust. waist. hips.
just shy of a perfect hour glass,  but my shoulders leave my tops draping shapelessly off them like they were on a hanger. (now there is an understanding of why i abhor shoulder pads) more fitted tops draw more attention to them and i end up looking like an inverted triangle. most of the time i do not notice it, but when i opt for skinny jeans and a baggy top, it becomes apparent that i have cadillac shoulders, and from behind i give off the appearance that i am a slender man. 

no bueno.

but i like my loose fitted items. i also don't like looking like a boy. *le sigh*. more v-necks says one. full skirts says another. am i a fruit or a keeper of time or a pythagorean equation? they make it so complicated, and their suggestions of styles to wear do not suit my tastes.

mitigate the breadth of my shoulders (or look less like a boy from behind).
elongate my torso.

how can i make this happen in a state of simplicity and still keep my sweaters and sweatshirts?

oversized sweater that extends past my hips, but is slimming at the waist

 raglan. duh. why didn't i think of this sooner?
thin sweaters where the shoulder line extends past my shoulders
ok. i can breathe. change doesn't look too bad now.

WINTER STYLE | Sweaters

Florida suddenly got a blast of cold, so I have been sporting sweaters and sweatshirts the last few days. Should be back in the 70s tomorrow, but for now I must dress for the 40 degrees outside.

OOTD | Jones and Kryptonite

Tomorrow I am helping my friend out with his portfolio and I am doing headshots, which means I had the tedious task of washing and straightening my hair the night before. Of course it would rain, but in an effort to protect all my hard work (4hrs total) I knew I was going to have to do a hat. The rest of the outfit followed suit.
