Girl Crush: Beth Ditto

Beth Ditto's my girl. Her band, Gossip, is amazing (check them out), her voice kicks ass, she's outspoken, ballsy, and full of confidence. Her clothes may be too outrageous for most of us to rock on a daily basis, but her style reminds us all that you don't have to be conventional or rail-thin to be beautiful and sexy.

Here are some items that remind me of Beth's offbeat style. Remember that one eccentric piece, paired with more low-key items, can really make a statement.

Beth Ditto - The Coolest Person in Rock?

For those of you who have never heard of Beth Ditto, she is the frontwoman of the Gossip, a pretty awesome indie band. She was named the coolest person in rock by NME Magazine for her non-conformity; she is an outspoken gay rights advocate, weighs around 230 pounds and is also in a relationship with a transgendered personwho was born a woman but identifies as a man.

But enough about Beth's life, what about her outfit? I love her retro mod dress with the cutesy white flats. Beth shows us that you can be plus-sized, sexy and sassy all at the same time.


Here's my version of Beth's rock and roller outfit. I think I may have found the exact dress she's wearing!
