If you are one of those people who really struggle with saying how you feel or confronting other people, you are in luck! Graphic tees have come back in style with a vengeance and that means it is now more than appropriate to literally wear your heart on your sleeve (or your chest). Forget about sending vague text messages, snarky emails, or subtweets. If you really want to get your message out there on the sly, put it on a t-shirt!

*Disclaimer: I do not condone passive aggressive behavior in any way and am actually a huge advocate for telling people to their faces how you really feel while you still can, but trust me when I say I know we all have those days when we’re feeling a little shy or reserved…or just downright petty lol.

TREND ALERT: LUCITE

LUCITE HEELS

Lucite and clear vinyl are the latest and hottest trends in shoes and accessories. I love lucite because it instantly adds futuristic and edgy accents to any look. Plus, when your shoes or bag are completely see-through, it adds a whole new level to the phrase, “What you see you is what you get”. You have to love transparency, right?

I’m not encouraging you to step out in the sweltering heat in a head-to-toe velvet suit. I am, however, saying that a velvet accent here and there could be a nice refresher to your summer wardrobe. On top of that, I can almost guarantee you that no one else will be experimenting with this velvet trend just yet, so you will definitely be ahead of the pack.
