Outfit of the Day: Drapey Shorts

Drapey shorts have become my new obsession. These are shorts that sit higher on your waist with pleats along the top; and have a loose, almost baggy, effect on the shorts itself.

A NEW PLANET?

It has been named “Tyche” pronounced tay-kee. The name was found from the Greek goddess of fortune, chance, providence and fate. Tyche was said to be the daughter of “Oceanus” and “Tethys” with an evil sister named “Nemesis” for her…
