Just flew in from Puerto Rrrrrico for a friend's wedding where we ate, drank, and actually managed to truly relax. Though our little beach vacay meant that I had to miss most of Toronto Fashion Week (aka World Mastercard Fashion Week), it was a badly-needed break. While drinking my piña coladas, I couldn't help but notice how well the Puerto Rican women take care of themselves - I'm talking women in their 40's, 50's and beyond looking better and more buff than most women I know in their 20's and 30's. Thanks to the mamasitas, I'm posting this pic of Solange Knowles today in one of spring's most daring trends - the bralette top. Worn with a high-waisted pencil skirt (and often under a little jacket), the bralet comes in many forms, from the super-revealing (see above) to much more PG-13 versions. The key to looking terrific, not trashy? Only your upper abs should be on display (read: NO exposed buttons, por favor). The weather's certainly ready for it, but are you ready to wear the bralette top this spring? I for one, am still completely on the fence.
Off to do some laundry (and about a million crunches)
