Caroline Shadood was a pleasure to talk to about her 'practical over flattering' style--and her rejection of the entire concept of 'flattering'. Her blog Broadist has gotten a lot of attention for it's refreshing take on style/politics/'lady troubles' and body positivity.
She doesn't buy new clothes, prefers to swap/thrift and never pays full price for anything; refers to growing out her hair to acihieve the Kathleen Hanna trademark -- the 'bitchy high ponytail'; and talked about armpit exposure as a measure of a fancy vs casual event. In short she was an utter delight!
\thanks for listening!
