Love or Loathe: Everything but the Kitchen Sink

By -
This "Everything but the Kitchen Sink" shirt ($45) is from The Colony, which is designed by Project Runway season one winner, Jay McCarroll. The entire women's clothing looks like this shirt. McCarroll also designs fabric so it makes sense that he wants to play with prints. I'm just not sure how to feel about this shirt.

It reminds me of Punky Brewster (in a good way), and it could be quite cute and playful. I can see it with a flouncy skirt or a pair of jeans and a crop sleeve jacket. However, this is a lot going on for just a t-shirt. It may also be a little too cutesy. What do you think? Are you crazy for the patterns? Or are the patterns a little to crazy for you?

hmmm...I like the poka dot. My first thought is teenager. It's too cute/young for me, eventho I'm only 21

I think it could be cute on the right person, but I agree it's very young-looking and would probably be best on a teenager.

My husband said to me the other day, "What's up with Hannah Montana's clothes? Does she wear everything in her closet at once, especially if it doesn't match? It's too noisy!" I think he'd say the same about this, and I would agree.

I like parts of it. As a layering piece, I think it would be fun. Seeing all of it at one time is too much for me though.

i think it belongs in the juniors dept, not the women's section...
i'm not a big fan but can see the appeal for a teenage girl

I don't care for the top - I feel like it's just being too indecisive.

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

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.
