I watched the entire first season of Transparent in two days. The Amazon Prime TV show is addicting and though I spent the days following my binge dissecting the story and analyzing all my issues I had with the show, I really did like it and found it quite entertaining. I came to conclude they jumped the shark by making all the characters seem like sex addicts rather than sexually enlightened or confused.
My favorite bit of the show was their cover band, called Glitterish (get it, like clitoris) a super hipster duo from Silver Lake. They are as fucking adorable as two people can get, and rock the hell out of vintage clothes. In a great scene where Glitterish covers Jim Croce's Operator the lead singer actually wears a peach colored straw hat with a giant flower broach attached to it, and it doesn't look ridiculous, even though it seems like it came from Blanch's closet on The Golden Girls.
Moral of the story; wear whatever kooky thing you find to be pretty because you can pull that shit off. I have to pick my daughter from Catholic school wearing some questionable clothing creations, and talk about standing out. Whatever moms are not in work out clothes are usually wearing high heels and Louis Vuitton purses. Hopefully I am trendsetting rather than giving the impression I lost my bottle of Prozac. Maybe next week I will go pick her up, and the moms will have swapped out their luggage inspired purses for an array of pastel colored straw hats. I'd call that working it!

Sweater Shirts
Sweater shirts are hay in needle stacks at thrift stores; easy to find! In the decades past bees used to wear fancy lady sweater shirts instead of fabulous see through cotton t-shirts. What’s so great about sweater shirts? Well they add some class and sophistication to a bee!
Here are some gems I have collected. Pair short sweaters with a high waist bottom, and the long sweater with straight-legged skinny jeans.
