Okay, I might have exaggerated -- the "good" part might only be "not so bad." And as my dad used to say, "Nothing is so bad as something that is not so bad," meaning that oftentimes a big splash of a failure is better than bland mediocrity. But in Monse's case, it means, "Doesn't give me a migraine." I actually don't wholly dislike the blouse. Am I nuts? It's not my FAVORITE, and the longer I look at it the more I noticed that it's a little sloppy-looking in parts, but it's trying for that Monse aesthetic without actually trying to turn pants into shirts.

Speaking of pants, though, these are not right. The waist of these is TERRIBLE -- I think, even with her fist balled up in her pocket, that much is still evident -- and they lace up the front, which.... I'm not a huge fan of using things that go on shoes to make trousers.

However, her lobes deserve major credit for withstanding these.
