bringing sexy back

the queens of plaid and oversized shirts are bringing sexy back - Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.


you know what this particular "t-shirt/polo" reminds me of? tom cruise dancing in his living room in the movie risky business. aside from the fact that he is just drooling-ly sexy in that particular scene, he brought the oversized shirt into a whole new dimension of sexiness (lotsa "sexy" there!).



according to google, the oversized plaid shirt became popular in the 90's - thanks to Bridget Fonda. They would usually wear it as is, over a tank top or wrapped around the waist.



until! my favorite .5 style icon Ashley Olsen brought this baby to the streets and gave it a laid back - sexy - i - had - nothing - to - wear - today appeal. for me, it gives this masculine aura but feminine sexiness.

i actually like to call this shirt "the-morning-after-shirt". like in movies, the morning after an unplanned night, the girl is usually found wearing the guy's polo shirt. most of the time it is oversized and plain - and most of the time, the buttons are unevenly fastened - well for me, gives plus 100 sexy points.

definitely will be my favorite no-brainer in the weeks to come.
