FDPC day 17. Asymmetrical

FASHION DAILY Photo Challenge
Day 17. asymmetrical

Asymmetrical lines are everywhere in fashion.  They first started to creep into cardigans and jackets, where the back was short and the front was long.  Then it started moving into tops, skirts and dresses.  It is very popular to see these items where the fabric is short in the front and loooong in the back.  I think it is a very fun style to play with.  Its screams playful and sexy.  It gives you a little peep in the front and then a tad more elegance in the back.  It also creates an great opportunity to play around with layers, which I LOVE!!!  This top/dress that I am wearing I picked up at a flea market in Japan last year.  I was not quite sure what it was at first and it took a little help from a friend to understand that it was a wrap.  It is designed so that the bottom part of the dress wraps around my waist where there is a button to hold it in place on side and tie on the other.  Its adorable all wrapped up, but a friend of mine gave me the idea to just wear it open.  Which I thought was brilliant.  Thank you Tracy Shibata!!!
For this outfit I took the part of the fabric that was placed to tie the skirt together and wrapped it around the front of my waist and pinned it to my left side to act as a belt!  Quick little changes to make a wrap dress into a funky asymmetrical shirt/skirt/thing.  : )
