not a pretty picture. the run on the legging and the sloppy shoes just don't compute. the leather side next to the skin will feel sticky after a while. shearling is meant to trap air and warmth inside, between the skin and leather.
I am simply in love your with your blog. I wish you even step foot in LA. There's still fashion people here! lol As I always say you wear the clothes, do not let the clothes wear you.
Individually, I do not think any of these garments are appealing. Together however, they tell a story and that is what fashion should be all about. Also, how old is she?!
I was scrolling down, and just looking at her face I could have sworn this was going to be a picture of a 5 year old… a bit unnerving to be honest. Love the boots though.
I know Billie! I worked with her in London, and she has the best sense of style–anything goes. Her personality is exactly the same, never a dull moment.
I love the shoes and suitcase. It's funny because it makes me realize how young I look. I cannot tell how old this girl is (although she does look young to me) but I feel like I look about the same age as her and I am 21.

I do not wish to sit next to this gamine on the bus just after a warmish downpour. That is a seriously impractical garment, that coat.
While this look intrigues me, and the elements work pretty well together, for reasons I cannot explain, no.

i completely did not think i liked this ensemble at first glance, until i sincerely looked back at it and realized that it's a rather unique look.
her shoes, her shirt print, and her expression are a great combo.

why did you cut the photo's? Is it because you thought the tights and ripped top were to much?

Har har har,
you'd think, with that awesome train case, that she'd be able to afford clothes that fit.
It looks like she raided a combination of her lil sister's and homeless grandpa's closet.
But kudos for creativity though. She probably has better fashion sense on a more regular basis than I ever will.
