Can You Still Wear A Slip Dress? Here’s How You Can

A few years ago I stated, “I will never wear spaghetti straps or racer back tops or dresses – ever again!” Back in my 30s my arms and shoulders were my best features, and even though they are still not bad, my aging skin (and face!) no longer look appropriate in skinny shoulder straps.

Sure I love my Rag & Bone jeans as much as the next gal, but I also find myself reaching for my Old Navy Rockstar jeans over and over again because they are so damn comfortable and flattering…and you can usually get them for under $40 (Old Navy is always having promotional discounts so wait and pounce like I do).
