Yes, this is two posts in a row featuring a velvet something-or-other. And I did actually wear them back-to-back in real life. I might not get on board with every trend (ain’t nobody over 25 got time for that), but when I really like one, I’m all in. I feel like this combination of shapes and fabrics is equal parts frumpy and chic, which pretty much sums me up.

People (and by people I mean non-bloggers) seem to think I have a lot of knowledge about fashion trends. And to some extent I do, but people give me too much credit. Like recently someone asked me to confirm that it’s currently cool to wear shirts with holes in them. And I was like, is it cool for the over-30 professional crowd? Because if not, I have no idea, nor do want to. I mean, what could possibly be cooler than the over-30 professional crowd? Our LinkedIn profiles are totes on fleek.

The trends I do know about include flared sleeves and embroidery. Since I’m sporting both trends in one top here, I toned down the rest of the outfit. It’s a look that says: “I’m up to date, but I also used to have a MySpace account.”
