I ordered this top online and when it came in I was a little on the fence – was it too much? Too girly? Like a Polly Pocket wrapped in a My Little Pony on top of an American Girl doll inside a box of tampons? I wasn’t sure but I decided to keep it anyway, and I actually got a lot of compliments! I think next time I’ll try to butch it up a little bit. It would look good with jeans and a leather jacket, don’t you think? Like a Barbie and a GI Joe in a unisex bathroom.

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.”
