19 Dressing Tips Every Broad-Shouldered Girl Needs To Know

If you were gifted with broad shoulders but want to play them down a bit every now and then, these tips and tricks will help you out.

Emphasize your waist while balancing out your figure.

Think peplum, it cinches your waist but the flaring on the bottom balances out your shoulders.

Avoid tops with detailing at the shoulders, or balance them out with volume on your lower half.

If you have a beautiful top with detail on the shoulder, pair it like this blogger with a flowy skirt that balances out your shoulders and lower body.

Embrace the skater skirt, she's your friend.

Skater skirts flare out to balance your lower body with your upper body, so even with a detailed top, proportions are balanced.

Say yes to scoop and v-necks.

Wearing lower cut tops keeps the attention away from your shoulders, leading the eye down instead of from left to right.

"If you can't get immediate medical assistance, cut duct tape into strips and apply along the length of the laceration for DIY butterfly stitches," Willow Haven Outdoor owner and Fat Guys In The Woods host Creek Stewart told BuzzFeed Life.

Turn your watch into a compass.

If you're lost, hold a watch with 12 o'clock at the left and the hour hand pointing at the sun, according to WIRED. The spot that's halfway between the hour hand and the 12 is south. Keep in mind that if you practice daylight saving time, you should subtract one hour from the hour hand.

Michel Houellebecq Halts Book Promotion Following Paris Attacks

Houellebecq, as well as his new book Submission, were featured on the cover of the latest issue of Charlie Bebdo. The book does not yet have a US release date.

Author Michel Houellebecq, whose writing has won him both numerous accolades and numerous critics, was featured on the cover of the last issue of Charlie Hebdo before this week's attacks.

"The predictions of the Great Houellebecq: 'In 2015, I will lose my teeth... In 2022, I will celebrate Ramadan!'" the translation reads.

Charlie Hebdo / Via charliehebdo.fr

Houellebecq, a friend of economist Bernard Maris, who was among the 12 people shot dead on Wednesday, was 'deeply affected' and had decided to leave Paris for an unspecified rural retreat, his agent said on Thursday.

Via theguardian.com

Submission (Soumission, in French) is currently a number one bestseller on Amazon.fr.

The book, which Houellebecq described as "political fiction" in The Paris Review , imagines France electing a Muslim president in 2022, sparking Islamic reform throughout the country.

Via ecx.images-amazon.com

When reached for comment Jeff Seroy, senior vice president of marketing and publicity at Farrar, Straus and Giroux (the US publisher of Submission) told BuzzFeed:

"[Michel Houellebecq] is an important writer and we're delighted to be his American publisher. Our arrangement to publish is quite recent so with no translation yet commissioned, we wouldn't even tentatively schedule publication."
