Tip: Borrow From the Boys

With so many options in women's fashion, why is it so satisfying to shop the men's section?
How to Wear Your Boyfriend's Clothes

With so many options in women's fashion, why is it so satisfying to shop the men's section? It's seductive to see a woman throw on her boyfriend's shirt and look utterly, and effortlessly, sexy. There's a confidence associated with a woman who can assert her femininity even when clothed in men's silhouettes. There's also the thing about the fit: it's not tailored to our body, and the boxiness adds a bit of mystery and je ne sais quoi. Here's what we're shopping from the men's — and in one instance, the boys'— section. Maybe it's time to play tomboy.

Look of the Day: Borrowed From Daddy

We have an opportunist on our hands.

We have an opportunist on our hands. Adhusia was about to do some ironing when she saw her dad's shirt and threw it on. Borrowed from daddy — cute! I love how she made the look more feminine via leaf earrings and red lipstick.

Here's what she has on:

  • Shirt: Dior
  • Jeans: Tommy Hilfiger
  • Shoes: Hot Ice
  • Belt: Esprit

Congrats to adhusia!

Oak Cropped Button Pocket Chambray Shirt: Love It or Hate It?

It was lust at first sight with this Oak Cropped Button Pocket Shirt in Chambray ($127).

It was lust at first sight with this Oak Cropped Button Pocket Shirt in Chambray ($127). It's such a simple idea, taking a men's shirt and cropping it, but I think it makes a world of a difference. It's a more girlie and modern take on the boyfriend shirt. I can so see Ashley Olsen sporting it with black stovepipes and crazy shoes, but would you wear it, too?

If you love it like I do, but you're not ready to spend the dough, take on a DIY project by cropping one of your boyfriend's or dad's chambray shirts yourself.

FABTV: Billy Idol "Cradle of Love"

Devon. That's her name. The blonde vixen who enters the geeky (but cute!) dude's apartment and asks to play her tape, yes tape, because her family's stereo is broken.

Devon. That's her name. The blonde vixen who enters the geeky (but cute!) dude's apartment and asks to play her tape, yes tape, because her family's stereo is broken. Little does the geeky cute dude know what he's in for. She struts in with her high ponytail, black headband, tied boyfriend shirt and short black biker shorts and stirs up quite a show. Some may call it a strip show, but I call it a rockin' display of fashion circa 1990. With her Madonna undertones, Devon declared herself sexy at hello. I may have been eleven years old but I wanted to be Devon and I turned out OK.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the FABTV.

P.S. If you're looking for an easy to assemble, highly original Halloween costume, take note.
