New Trend Alert! Sheer Skull Shirts

These shirts have become very popular in the last few months. Below is an image from the ABC Family show Pretty Little Liars, showing one of the characters in the show rocking a sheer skull top. I am not really a big fan of the show, but I do appreciate their focus on fashion. I find many of the looks to be right up my alley in terms of style.

While I am a big fan of sheer dress shirts, the jury is still out about this skull print trend. Skulls can be cool and edgy, but they CANNOT be overdone. I usually don't teeter on the side of the morbid, but the sheer dress shirt style is cute and I do like the edition of the tie-front for some of the styles of this shirt. I feel that if I were to buy a shirt like this I would look for a smaller skull print. I think that these shirts would look good with colored pants or a bright colored tank.

Thrift Store Treasure

Now I know that thrift stores have gotten really popular in the last year or so, but I have actually been a fan of thrift stores for quite some time. What's not to love about gently used clothing that is a fraction of its original price. Thrift stores also offer a very eclectic assortment of clothes and accessories. You can find items from all seasons, different decades, or even some of the new current trends. You never know what awesome piece you will acquire after visiting a thrift store. They are like treasure troves. Most of all I love that thrift stores offer items that are not currently sold in stores, thus it is less likely that someone else will be caught wearing your piece (which I HATE). Thrift stores make me feel as if I can really express myself through fashion without commercial restrictions.

The shirt that I am wearing was bought at a thrift store. I like this shirt because it goes well with my "grown 'n sexy" transition and it also has this lovely blue-green color that is very bright and sassy. I decided that I must buy this shirt when I saw that the shirt featured two different blue and black patterns. There is the striped pattern throughout most of the shirt except for the collar and cuffs, which feature a funky pattern.

Accessories: The perfect blue-green heels were just items pulled out of my closet (they did NOT come from the thrift store).
