Someone somewhere said that the way one dresses says a lot about a person ... and that was well before every contemporary designer decided to add graphic phrases to once acceptably plain tops. While these phrases can be a fantastic way to take your average tank to the next level, not all phrase tops are created equal. Think before you buy.
Don't buy it if you don't understand it.

Don't over share.
As amusing as the mall cart "I pooped today" shirt is, you would never buy it. While I'm sure you'd be ecstatic that your bowels are properly functioning, if you're the classy human that I've imagined you to be, you wouldn't feel compelled to share these intimate life details with friends, family, or innocent passerby. A similar approach must be taken with love phrase tees. A woman wouldn't go around telling everyone she passes the intimate details of her love life, so she shouldn't wear a shirt that does the talking for her. Also wearing love related statement tops can potentially make a woman come off as dramatic or pathetic. If it's personal, keep it personal.
Don't forget, a picture is worth a thousand words.
For reasons I cannot understand, it has been a trend for a little over a year now to wear tops and dresses with the main focus on boobs... and I'm not talking subtly accentuating a woman's natural curves, here. I mean mesh dresses with two opaque hand cutouts over your upper-most private parts or a plain tank top with two seashells that denote the exact location of your breast. If you wear something like this, just know that you have a sign across your chest that says, "Come hither perverts. My boobs are right here. Cat calls welcome."
