She Is Dark But Lovely : Statement Style

Statement jewelry has become a huge phenomena in the fashion culture today. Instead of coming up with the most exuberant of outfits for each day of the week, we have now laid the burden of creativity and style on a single piece of jewelry. The right necklace can turn a simple black dress into a dark, Gothic movement or into a classic and blossoming fairy tale. However, I am now learning that a statement t-shirt can be just as powerful.

"Thou Shall Not Be Ratchet." It was a shirt that captured my personality completely. I have often been accused by friends of overusing the word 'ratchet', but in my defense it was with great need. And, to top it off, I am highly familiar with William Shakespeare, seeing as though he was crammed down my English majoring throat. This shirt was love at first sight, and it definitely makes a great statement.

I just recently received this in the mail after ordering it from www.shop1964threads.com. They have a variety of T-shirts that mainly capture the bold statements of the 1960's. This shirt was calling my name.

Here are some of the styles that I was able to put together after receiving my shirt. Some might have remained dull had they only been paired with a simple black or white top. But I think old Will is giving me some street cred, and maybe even a few curious looks.
