Love or Loathe: Sunny Tee

By -
I'm usually all about the whimsy of Anthropologie, but I just can't get behind this "Bright Dawn" tee shirt. It made my lips curl in a way that I save for horrors, but I can't really identify what I don't like about it. It could be the color. Maybe it's the stripes (but I love stripes!)? The drawn daisies feel like the biggest offender. Then again, I can't imagine this shirt on anyone who doesn't live in a retirement community. Is it ugly, adorable or ignorable?

I'm leaning ignorable myself. I agree. It has every element I like and yet it doesn't quite work.

I'm with kylsie, ignorable.

It really is just off somehow. I think it's the direction of the multi colored strips with the daisies that give it a dated-but-not-really-reto feel.

I'm gonna say adorable. I could see myself wearing this, even if (or maybe because?) it's weird.

I think the daisies are what do it for me. Or maybe if the daisies were cuter and the stripes weren't there. I'm not really fond of it though.

It's the random colors in the stripes that throw it off for me. If the daisies weren't so cheaply done and the stripes were just yellow and white, it would be totally cute.

I like it... I like the idea that the colors of dawn are on the shirt. I don't think the stripes would be in a good place on me and they probably don't have my size... but I think it's cute!

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.
