Burnt Toast by Virginia Sole-Smith The Tyranny of the Millennial Camisole
Welcome to Indulgence Gospel After Dark! It's time for your December Extra Butter!
Today, we’re talking about bellies—and how we’ve been taught to dress them. You need this conversation if you have feelings about:
Spanx
Horizontal stripes
The Millennial structured camisole era + long, flowy tops
Always tucking in your shirt/never tucking in your shirt
And so much more.
