What in the jorts!?

Let's just go ahead and run through my new obsession for the day. (Or maybe the next few days) MICRO shorts! Whoot! Or "hot pants" if you will! Seriously, we all thought this trend was only reserved for Lady Gaga, Beyonce, The Minaj wonder, and other hippie-like figures. This style showed up this year on Jason Wu's Spring/ Summer show and also creeped up on Jill Stuart's catwalk. I styled a girl today that wanted an insane original look and we ended up picking these shorts! Yes they slightly resemble panties, but if rocked right...they work! We ended up with an awesome two-toned chiffon button up top, a huge statement necklace under the collar, the shorts (of course), and some kick butt rocker studded platforms! Honey, I took her look from two cent street walker, to edgy fashion goddess. She had the confidence, I just simply had the eye. Other ways to rock hot pants are with an over sized boyfriend blazer(if you are shy like me), with blackout tights and platforms for a cool look, or if you are daring throw on a 1/2 bustier and a sheer top! Send me your pics of how you rock your hot pants. As for jean shorts, they are everywhere and in every form possible right now. I have never really been a "shorts" girl, but since I've lost weight, I see the obsession with having a million different colors, lengths, cuts, and styles! I mean, at a certain point you start to say to yourself, "do I really need pair #78?" DIY jean short projects are easy and can make your pair really stand out. A few friends asked me how to jazz up old shorts the other day. I say, bleach 'em, paint splatter 'em, dye 'em, stud 'em, distress 'em, cut 'em, lace 'em up, and re-sew those bad boys! The ideas are endless! Take a day out with some friends and just have a craft day! I have a craft date planned with my bestie so I will post as soon as we start creating. In true Fashunmash tradition I have not disappointed my readers. I have a great Oh No "HE" Didn't today! I have witnessed male jorts too many times. Men, it is not okay to wear cutoffs!!!! I know the breeze of daisy dukes seems alluring, but please refrain! Until next time readers.

                                                 OH NO "HE" DIDN'T!!!

                                        The fact that these are cut offs and he has a hairy back
                                        makes this pic all the better!

Hot Mess!

So as you all know, I'm a bit of a hot mess! Yet, I try to remain a fashionable hot mess if I must be one. It's been a while and I really needed to figure out what I wanted to blog about. Whether it be cosmetics, food, travel, or fly fishing...I realized, I NEED my fashion!!! So I'm back with a whole lot of photos, way better trash talk, good convo, fashion (of course), and OH NO SHE DIDN'T moments that will make your jaw drop open! I had too many people begging for the blog to come back, so we are in action people. Right now, my fashion obsessions are: anything cut out, button up shirts with statement necklaces under the collar, acid wash anything, and classy neutrals. Yes, I could follow everything fashion society tells me to concerning the latest trends...but that is too easy. You can follow whatever trend you feel like at any given moment! Who says we need to conform like sheep? Tomorrow I might be feeling like rocking all pink head to toe! By the way, I do NOT recommend that to anyone. And that is why I wanted to re-introduce my blog in a nutshell. This is a place that doesn't always go with the grain. It's about putting items in your life that make you feel special and beautiful. Make sure you try and experience that as many days of the week as you can.

XOXO,
