    Love love love the way it just drapes over your body. And your hair is literally perfect. Are the right arm and body sleeves the pant legs?
    And great shoe choice. The itty bit of toe poking out balances out the skin.

I’m guessing you probably have more flats, maybe do a post on them so we can see!? I wear mostly flats unfortunately so I’d love to see how you pull them off!

    Hi there. I just want to tell you that I absolutely adore your blog and your exquisite fashion sense. Of the many fashion blogs I have perused, this one is the best. It’s mad inspiring, as I’ve finally gotten around to going through my closet to experiment with the copious amount of previously unworn clothing. And I just want to say that the outfit that you wore in a recent post (the Y-3 skirt, beaded vest, and blazer look) was gorgeous, and I was able to come up with a similar concoction myself.
    Oh, and it’s hard to believe you’re so young, as you seem mature beyond your years.
