Shopping in "Stockings and Stilettos"

(for the record, I wasn't in stockings or stilettos)

Last Thursday, the rain and cold did not stop me from going into the city to stomp the grounds of Appel and Frank's annual Stocking and Stilettos.


Shoppers go wild for "Stocking and Stilettos" at the Regency Center in SF

There were some familiar faces and some new faces, but either way I enjoyed seeing what the Bay Area's craft denizens and fashionistas had to offer:



I think Kelley DeSerpa and Christine Meeks (both of them were so enthusiastic and unbelievably friendly) may have solved the muffin top epidemic. They are the creators of the Hip T, an accessory that is simply the bottom half of a t-shirt. Sounds too plain? Well, it isn't it is meant to cover a woman's "assets" when needed. In other words, it prevents your thong from showing when you bend over in jeans. It's a second cover up. This way, you don't have to be worry if your showing more than you need to when you are wearing a pair of low rise jeans.

I can say that it is easier for girls just to buy a perfectly fitted pair of jeans or a shirt that doesn't rise up all the time - but it's just not that easy. This is definitely a more simple solution.
