Summer Trend: Off The Shoulder

{ Via: Moda Operandi }

This post is personal. If you know me, you certainly are aware that the off the shoulder look is very much my style. I have been wearing it for years. Honestly, I often wonder why more women do not. Our shoulders never age, ladies! My own Mother at age 82, wore an off the shoulder formal long cocktail suit for her granddaughter's wedding. She looked marvelous. You'll not see me showing much of my arms any more, and I'm not big on showing cleavage, but those shoulders are out there. Not only is it an alluring look, it's also  cool in the warmer months. If you love the cover photo above as much as I do. You can shop it HERE.
