For us the one shouldered style bring up brings up <a href="http://www.express.com">Express</a> tank tops bursting at the seems with sorority girl bosom, beer pong, and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiXbRBS5Z58&feature=related">this tragic song. </a> But our community just insists on keeping an open mind. <a href="http://www.coutureinthecity.com/2008/08/06/hot-celebrity-trend-how-to-wear-one-shoulder-dresses/">Couture in the City</a> has tips on <a href="http://www.coutureinthecity.com/2008/08/06/hot-celebrity-trend-how-to-wear-one-shoulder-dresses/">how to wear the one shouldered style</a> (even if her initial examples of the trend make us yawn since umm celebrities) and <a href="http://fashionpad.blogspot.com/">Fashion Pad</a> has <a href="http://fashionpad.blogspot.com/2008/08/off-shoulder-madness.html">off the shoulder madness</a>. <span class="inline right" style="float: right"></a></span> Now we associate this style with warm weather, possibly because of the bare skin, possibly because it can have a bit of a silly spring break vibe to it. But given the finds from <a href="http://www.coutureinthecity.com">Couture In The City</a> and <a href="http://fashionpad.blogspot.com">Fashion Pad</a>, In fact, there seems to be a number of sophisticated fall styles that show off your shoulders. The Versace dress pictured above is clearly one of Fall 2008's best dresses. Maybe this is simply a brilliant merchandising designer gambit designed to keep shoulders free for Fall's ubiquitous shoulder bags. Why make money off the dress when you can make even more money off the bag?
