There is a new silhouette in town, the tulip. In both New York and L.A. Fashion Week tulip skirts were walking down the runways. If you aren't familiar with the cut, it's a skirt that, well, looks like a tulip -- fitted at the waist, puffy in the middle, and tight at the bottom.

On the runway these skirts look adorable, after all you have stick thin models wearing them. For us real girls out there you have to be careful with a cut like this. I mean who wants to make their hips look bigger than they actually are. To wear this look without looking like a marshmallow, make sure you wear something fitted on top. It also helps to wear dark hosiery to streamline the look.

I for one won't be sporting this look and I am sick to death of seeing "volume" being in vogue. What do you think about tulips skirts ... style 'do' or style 'don't'?

AHH!!!!!! This has got to be one of the most horribly shaped pieces of clothing I've ever seen. I mean, I could starve myslef to weigh 90 lbs and my hips would STILL be the widest part of my body. NO THANKS!!!!
