The Solution to Tight Winter Clothing

Has anyone else noticed that the winter clothes this year look like you need a vac-u-form  to get it to fit just the way they want it?  I was really hoping that since flowy outfits were all the rage this summer, they would carry over to the fall.  I even had the gall to think that long sleeved maxi dresses would come back in style.  Not so.  I have never seen such tight clothes in all my life!  Yes there are a lot of adorable long cardigan sweaters this winter but I don't want to wear one every day for the next five months.  

My plan turned to hunting down sweater dresses to use as shirts.  Figured this was a good idea, they are comfy and cute.  Only problem is they are all super figure hugging and totally defeat the purpose of using them as a modest top unless you buy them 2 sizes too big.  But then they look silly and oversized.   Don't even get me started on how short they are and the tights these girls are wearing.  Ick.

So what is my solution you ask?

When the sleeveless cardigan came out in the summer I thought it was hideous due to the look below.

What is the point of this article of clothing!  And they wore it in the middle of super hot summer when it clearly looks like a fall item.  This was an especially odd look with tiny shorts.  It was all like "Where'd your shorts go?  I don't know!"

But because I found one on sale I bought one at the end of summer.  I was going out one night and I hadn't done laundry in forever (ooops).  All I had left was my long sleeved t-shirts that I use for layering.  So, I grabbed one added the sleeveless cardigan and went "Oh!"  It was super cute!  You can get something that looks like this (I used not so tight a t-shirt though)

I like this look a lot more.  It is perfect for keeping your backside covered and making a tight top turn into flowy one.  I now own quite a few and feel this is an essential for any modest woman's wardrobe.

Happy shopping!
