The other day I had plans to attend my friend’s birthday party but had absolutely no time to go home or had any change of clothes with me. Instead of going in yoga pants and a t-shirt, I recalled a Youtube video about how to wear a cute dress from a man’s dress shirt. Luckily for me, I had plenty of guy friends who lived in Residence at the University of Calgary. So instead of freaking out, I tried out a few different dress styles. So don’t be afraid to flaunt a man’s t-shirt! I asked my friends and they didn’t even recognize that it was a man’s shirt. So if you’re in a fashion slump and have a guy’s shirt with you; try these styles!

It’s the beginning of December, and it might seem too early to buy presents for the holidays…but it is better to buy early than wait until the last minute. You have time to find a good gift for someone (and your Secret Santa), are not in a rush to resort to a generic gift, and…
Now many know how trends are set, but in this case, I guess the main concept is the difference between the terms ‘torn’ and ‘artistically torn’. Cut-out tops are so cool, too bad the weather these days won’t allow for it to be worn outdoors. Nonetheless though, these cut-out shirts are found in practically every…
