So, when I started going to parties in college (okay, so I was a late bloomer), I thought my plain tank tops could serve double duty as daytime summer shirts and nighttime party tops...and they can, but I naively thought that tank tops were really my only option.
And then I went to my first party, and there I was, surrounded by girls in satin, sparkles, lace, corsets, and halters. Needless to say, I felt pretty plain. I had yet to discover the "going out top." The next day, I hit the mall and came back to my dorm room with no less than 10 new going out tops.
Throughout college,...
