We asked: Are Humor Tees In or Out?
You said: Humor Tees, despite their celeb sightings, are Out. 57% voted them out, and another 26% think they’re on the way out. However, a sizeable minority (23%) are still rocking this trend.
Omiru’s take:
Sure, these tees may be amusing on Lindsay or Paris, but they’re not for everyone. If you’re looking for attention, you might want to try a bold color or a unique accessory instead. However, we don’t want to throw out the baby with the bathwater–humor tees aren’t necessarily unstylish. Our rule of thumb? If in 10 years you would be embarassed to see a picture of yourself in the tee, leave the tee on the shelf.
Next Question: You told us that The Color White is In. Our last few shopping trips, however, have turned up shades of purple and lilac. Tell us, is The Color Purple In, or is it Out? Cast your vote on

If you want to try something funky, buy yourself a hot one-piece jumpsuit. Sure, it’s a bit off-the-wall, but getting dressed will feel so much more effortless (just ask Jessica Simpson; she wore a striped jumpsuit to TRL). Instead of kicking back with flip-flops this summer, try a pair of high heels with your funky jumpsuit that will instantaneously take you from simple to sizzling. The best part about this getup? Instead of having to match a top and a bottom, the one-piece jumpsuit does the coordinating for you. If only everything in life were this simple.
