So in a rush the other day, I accidentally put my shirt on backwards. And I was surprised, cuz it looked GOOD! It was an entirely different shirt when I wore it backwards. The shirt, worn regularly, was a deep, v-neck neckline. When I worse it backwards it turned into a Bateau (or boat) neckline with a plunging back.
Now the material of your shirt in this instance is important. This shirt was a loose, black knit shirt which has always flattered me. I was just pleased that even worn backwards it still flattered me. So I immediately tried on several of my shirts backwards to see just how well this might work. And I’ve almost doubled my wardrobe! It even worked on half of my dresses!
I’ve also done this with a dress in a store. I just adored the color, fabric and the way it clung to me. But the neckline was way too low. I knew I’d be pulling it up and self conscious every minute I wore it. So I turned it backward in the dressing room and BAM, it fit perfectly.
Its THIS reason I’m so thrilled that manufacturers are printing their labels directly on the shirt instead of sewing a tag on. Every woman likes to wear different outfits but not all of us can afford such a large wardrobe. This helps you mentally enjoy a new shirt without spending the money on it.
And in this economy, and cuz of my divorce, I (like us all) gotta watch my spending! So when you’re craving a new look with those pants, skirt or shorts… Go 4-Year Old and put your shirt on Backwards!
