So anyways, these are the two shirts I got. The one on the left is my "Bully Mammoth" tee, which has a woolly mammoth and the word STRONGER written across the front in blue. The shirt on the right is a lace tank top with a simple solid ivory tank attached underneath as to not be too terribly scandalous.
The mammoth tee is actually really awesome and I love it quite a lot. It's a good shade of ivory for me, and I just can't get over how much I love the mammoth on the front. Not really sure what the connection between the mammoth and "stronger" is, though (maybe that woolly mammoths are strong? I don't know....).
The downside of the tee, though, is how freakishly long it it. I'm 6 feet tall and have a long torso, so if this shirt is long even for me, I don't want to imagine how a shorter person would look in it.
Lucky for me I'm not afraid to tuck my shirts in! I solved the length issue by simply tucking the tee into my skirt and adding a belt to help transition from the shirt to the skirt. I've been using belts a lot lately, so get used to seeing them here on my blog!

The lace tank was a bit trickier, and I was actually considering returning it (ModCloth does free returns so it's not like I'd lose any money), but I ended up deciding to keep it and now I'm really glad I did.
The main problem was just the style of the tank. When I ordered it, I didn't realize how much extra lace material there was on the sides, so when I first put it on I was horrified at how dumpy it made me look. Some people have the right shape to pull that look off, but in my opinion, I am not one of them.
I solved this one the exact same way I solved the other: tuck it in and belt it!
