Ask Painfully Hip: What the heck should I do with all these oversized men’s shirts?

Hi Amber and Eve,
My dad was cleaning out his wardrobe and found a dozen button up shirts he didn’t wear anymore. He gave them to me but I don’t know how I could wear them or alter them to make them wearable. They’re pretty large. Do you have any tips?
Thanks!
Ronnie

Ah, Sherbet Tone. High-waisted flared tap shorts with ferocious platform pumps? Be still, my envious heart. It’s the perfect execution of the 40’s pin-up in a modern way. Plus? […]

Velocouture Bike Stars!

Lookit! A post from Eve!
Hubby and I recently moved closer to downtown so I got myself a beautiful metallic blue vintage Peugot. I’ve been fascinated by how it has changed my wardrobe. It’s a world where skirts are more functional than wide leg jeans and boots work better than sneakers (those pesky laces). I’m […]

Ask Painfully Hip: Practically Plus-sized and Perpetually Perplexed

Hi, Amber and Eve.
I am ridiculously in love with your blog and read it to get inspiration almost every day. Unfortunately, it’s basically impossible for me to find thrifted clothing that fits me. I’m not obese or even officially plus-sized (yet) but I am big and curvy: a size 12 with a thick waist, broad […]
