If I was a Boy Part 2: Hoodies
San Francisco weather almost requires hoodies for guys and girls. You can get away with wearing them over shirts, over dresses, from the most casual to the casually elegant outfit. But the thing about hoodies on girls - I guess I should qualify that by saying: Girls who have bigger bust measurement - is that they don’t quite look right.
Check out Jay-Z in his visit to Africa. I got this photo from http://holamun2.com/. Jay-Z looks great. Shades of yellow, brown, white, screen of a map of the world across the chest - hood falls nicely. But imagine a woman with boobs wearing this hoodie. No good. Just looks like she’s trying to hide herself away.
The issue is, I love hoodies. Embrodiered, printed, plain, knit, insulated - I love the look. Not that they don’t make hoodies for women, but it isn’t the same.
I suppose I’ll just have to admire from afar.

So what about hoodies on girls with no boobs?
As for this photo,it’s kinda ironic that you’re noting his outfit in a photo taken on his down-time in Africa instead of his usual, staged, bling-ified I’m a bad-ass with too many honeys photos where his wardrobe is picked for him by professionals. I LIKE IT.
By the way I love your blog design. Very clean and easy to use. Nice big fonts.
