How to Wear a Statement Tshirt: Notorious RBG

I’m so not a tshirt kind of gal, but sometimes one comes along that makes a ridiculously awesome statement and you just HAVE to have it. Case in point: this Notorious RBG tshirt from Spreadshirt. Do you have any idea how much of a badass Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg actually is? I just finished reading the BEST book called Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsberg by Irin Carmon and Shana Knizhnik. I couldn’t put it down…every page revealed another fascinating and fantastic layer to RBG’s unapologetic and fierce life-long fight for women and civil rights. It’s a poignant and passionate glimpse into a remarkable woman and her career…and the book itself is a perfect blend of chatty insights and hardcore biographical facts. Seriously…I loved the book, and was so inspired that I HAD to have a tshirt.

The Purrrfect Plus Size Cat Sweater from Torrid

I saw this plus size Meow Sweater when I was at my local Torrid, and I experienced a deep primal need to own it…seriously if there were only one of these sweaters left and someone else was going for it, there might have been a serious (ahem) catfight. What’s not to love? Cats? Fuzzy? White? Adorable!!! And pair it with a fab pleated plaid mini skirt and some over the knee boots, and you have an outfit to die for!

Big News!! Plus size, curvy gals in Chicago have another reason to celebrate! Torrid has moved in to a storefront right in the middle of State Street!
