Shoulder Sass:

Off-the-shoulder tops and dresses are a fashion phenomenon unlike any seen before. Sure, off-the-shoulder tops aren’t exactly new, but since its debut, the style has evolved to take the form of a variety of new silhouettes that you absolutely must know about. This shoulder sass makes a statement when worn with simple trousers, or a bold, eye-catching dress just in time for Derby. If you’re looking to reveal a good foot of clavicle, this is your go-to.
