I've learned many tips in the past couple days on how to be my most fabulous self, thanks to the book, "Fierce Style" by Christian Siriano (props for the b-day gift K.H.!). As this tank strikes me as both "fierce" and stylish, I thought it would be the perfect addition to my list of loved items! Where do I start? From this vibrantly contagious "gorg" floral print, designer Jack by BB Dakota has created a flawlessly feminine, figure-enhancing tank that I personally think would compliment any body type! If you're skinny, it will give you curves. If you're curvy, it will enhance your shape! From a buxom black bodice piping that runs along the seam of its sweeheart neckline, sharply down the center front, hugging the exposed metal zipper, to black licorice adjustable straps, this tank qualifies as nothing short of "flawless!" Right along the natural waistline runs a slim cinching elasticized band, camouflaged in its pink garden of perfection pattern. To channel my inner "Ferocia Coutura," I will arm this tank with a long, layered fringe necklace to play up its subtle rocker vibe, a batwing cardigan, stacked on top of a pair of breezy knit harem pants, and an architectural heel to make a sunny day even brighter! My thoughts are that Christian would deem this look "extrafabulous!" -Julie, Fashion Writer
