Love or Loathe: Cut-Out Swimsuits

By -
One the one hand, I appreciate that I walked around the fair this year and didn't see a single teeny bikini top substituting as a shirt thanks to the cut-out trend. These suits certainly offer sex appeal with a bit more security. On the other hand, all I can think when I see one is "Horrible tan lines!" But when have sex appeal and logic really gone together? What do you think of the monokini swimwear trend?

I don't think I care for these. They don't look very forgiving, and the tan lines would be really bad.

I honestly think they tend to look trashy. This one is really just a bikini with a little triangle of fabric connecting the two pieces in front (it looks like a bikini from the back)... unless you have belly button confidence issues you might as well wear a bikini.

...not to mention the tan lines ;)

I'm not a fan, though as a tall girl, I'm not a fan of many one pieces. Still, if I'm going to wear a one piece, it's going to be a one piece. Not a one piece that is trying so very hard to be a bikini. You fail monokini.

I think some of these bikinis are nice looking, but most of them are not. And the tan lines would be really bad.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
