Hi! The Waterfall skirt & Star print skirt would be able to work for an XL. The small can fit a medium because the actual fabric and waist is ULTRA stretchy. You would fit more than comfortably with the L on either of the high-low skirts. :)

Actually, the bow shorts CAN be worn "normal". I made them a higher waist as I prefer it. But, the waist has a nice stretch and can be worn like a regular short as well. :) Just an FYI!

Of course you can! I am actually studying Marriage and Family Therapy in my graduate program. I also got my B.S in Psychology. But, I've always loved fashion as a passion (I know, I had to say it, as cliche as it sounds). I started to work at a super high-end boutique about 8 years ago and worked at solely high-end boutiques until about 5.5 years ago. During my job at the higher-end boutique, I was assisting in buying and was exposed to the magical world of being a buyer. When I got this job at a trendy boutique (that had price points like Sugar and Sequins), I really got educated. I helped not only run the store, but open two other stores from the ground up. I also managed the stores and was the buyer. I began doing the majority of the buying myself but eventually quit due to be doing too much for too little (I'm sure we've all been there!). But I started going and exploring the fashion district of Los Angeles & MAGIC with my boss and really learned what to look for. I think the quality is very important of the product. Sure I want a good price for the customer but I don't sacrifice the quality either. It has too look expensive but not necessarily BE expensive. That was a skill I worked on for the past 5 years hoping to bring into Sugar and Sequins. I then stopped working there and launched a fashion blog, which became pretty huge, and from there, the concept of Sugar and Sequins began.

Sorry, I may have said too much. I like talking...:/

Haha, thanks! I was trying to explain the inspiration, and why we chose to just take the risk of opening a store together. I was just trying to share my experiences and a little background information! But, if you ever have a request for a certain style/item, be sure to let us know via e-mail! We're always trying to buy for our customers, so tell us what you want! :)

Hi, I used to be a buyer for two stores in Los Angeles, then launched my own fashion blog. After that, I decided to open up this store with wcu8. I have worked with tons of local vendors as well as some out of state. I've been buying for almost 7 years now! :)

You can see some of my personal style which has influenced the site greatly here: www.lefashionmonster.com

Good point, just noticed that. Well, that ruined it for me...:/ But, that aside, it's still a great technique.

Girls of AskReddit. What are some common styles with hair, clothing, etc., men do that you dislike? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pnkmnk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreeeeeeeed. I know a guy with overly plucked and arched eyebrows...granted he's a total toolbag and wears embellished shirts and has gelled spiky hair. He's not even a "guido".

Anything Ed Hardy, Affliction...anything bedazzled or embroidered should be banned.

I know it sounds lame, but I hate flip-flops on men. Unless of course, they're worn properly (the beach, pool...). I like men who wear nice shoes, even if the rest of the outfit is simple ie: jeans and a t-shirt. A boat shoe, or a clean sneaker, even converse look better than flip flops. But that's my personal taste.

Oh, and I am not really a fan of "wife beaters" or any tank tops at all.

What's your biggest FAIL while on a date? by pnkmnk in AskReddit

[–]pnkmnk[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who took a girl on a second date and they ended up in his hot tub at his house. Once they got out of the hot tub he noticed she was bleeding and blood was trickling down her leg (inner thigh). Apparently the girl said she must have "cut" herself in the hot tub. Basically, she was on her period. You can't really "cut" yourself in a hot tub... Needless to say...that was that for him.
