Spring/Summer Looks

Cold Shoulder

While I love the off-shoulder trend (originally seen on me here), I'm not always certain I can pull it off. For one, I'm short, so I feel like it segments my body in a weird way. Also, I'm well-endowed in the chest region, so it's hard to get them to stay in place, not to mention I hate strapless bras. But when I found this one at Nordstrom, I loved the colors and fit. I've actually worn this way more than I thought I would have, and I dressed it up some with some heels and a bright lip for a Friday night out with the hubs at golden hour. What do you guys think of this trend?!

About

My name is Preeti and I am a wife, mother, sister, and friend who is navigating my way through life in Cincinnati, OH. I work in the beauty industry for a living and work from home, so Nines to 5 is my place to express myself through fashion. Just because I have a home office doesn't mean I can't dress to the nines for my 9-5!

    Love the trend and u have styled this top so well! Putting ur hair in a top knot is so fab as it added length and took off volume from ur neck and chest!
