A recent article in The Sunday Times, Style magazine by Julie Burchill, called The Hot Shoulder, made me chuckle.
” Beauty-wise, shoulders are the last thing to go. You may have varicose veins and middle-age spread, housemaids’s knee and tennis elbow, crow’s feet, turkey neck, duck’s arse and those nasty little lines around your mouth that cause your once-luscious lips to resemble a cat’s bum – but unless you’re unlucky your shoulder’s will always be beautiful.”
Vulgar but funny. I totally agree with her message though, shoulders are soft sexy, not in your face, trying too hard…so below are some styles to bare just a little.
Sheer sleeves on this blouse by Karen Millen add to the softly sexy styling – easily wear with jeans or black midi skirt.

Julie ends with… ” after years of the focus being on things that look best in the first flush of youth – legs and abs on the catwalk, tits and ass on the red carpet – it makes a change for the body part of choice to be one that you don’t need to starve, sit up or self-mutilate through surgery to display.”

Love the vintage jumpsuit, it could easily be in stores today.
