morbidly cool

Skulls, it's everywhere, you can't avoid it. It all started with McQueen's silk scarves and now the image is on everything from clothing, bags, to accessories. With this new fashion, it just screams out that you can wear just about anything as long as you find a way to fit it into your personal style. I think that's the toughest part, finding a way to mesh a craze/trend in with your own look. Just because magazines are telling you that something is "hot" doesn't mean you have to love it too. Now I would never go head-to-toe with a trend, I'd just take a small aspect of it and work it into a way that works best for me. Sure, POC:Dead Man's Chest is out, but you still don't want to be decked out in skulls to the point where people scream "Arrrgh, mi matey!" at you. It actually took me a while to find pieces that I liked, ones where the images weren't too creepy or overwhelming. Since I'm such a capris chick during the summer, I found that muscles tanks worked best for me.



I loved this tank when I first saw it, after all it is pink. I liked that the image was more cartoon like. What really sealed the deal was the 3 cute skull buttons it had on the side. I love clothing that has subtle accents to it. This looks great with capris or even a jean skirt.



Once again, the color of the tank first caught my eye. I'm all about army green. I thought the little skulls scattered in different colors was much different than the usual gigantic skull that's plastered right in the middle of shirts.
