Plus, it’s McPoyle-chic.

I bet they look awesome on you. I suffer from pretty severe thin envy and I forget sometimes about the forms of privilege I do have. I’ve been trying to flatter my short, weight-fluctuating body since high school and sometimes resent people who seem to be able to throw on shapeless clothes and still look amazing when…

Maxi dresses are like yoga pants that you can wear to the office. #lifehack

This is what they make you wear in Russian prison.

You deserve more than this! You are worth more than this!

That is some “just finished my de-lousing” chic.

Those sleeves. The hair. The shoes! This is the saddest outfit on the saddest model in the land.

The shoes are what really make that outfit.

I hear it really lets the ass breathe.

Is this one completely open in the back too, maybe with one flimsy snap? Modest in the front, g-string in the back!
