Hollywood Fashion Tape

Despite not having any red carpet events to attend, it’s a good thing I had the foresight to purchase a box of this double sided tape a few months ago at the kitschy store, Kitson. I finally had the opportunity to use it when I wore this Rachel Pally two tone top for the first time yesterday.

As I was rushing out the door (late again!), I realized that the top has a deep decolletage that needed to be covered. Aha! Double sided tape to the rescue!

It really is easy to use. I got a strip from the box and, finding the 3-inch strip too long, I cut it in half with my nails (no scissors needed!), removed the strip backing, applied it to my clothing, removed the other backing and stuck it to my skin. It really is “peel, stick and go!” Voila! It stays put all day. No worries about any wardrobe malfunction. And the clear adhesive is easy to remove. If you’ve seen the adhesive that comes with your new credit card in the mail, that’s what it basically looks like (although I wouldn’t recommend using them instead, haha!).

I wonder how this is going to hold up in hot summer temperatures because it will surely be handy with barely there summer clothes.
