And now that I've said the nice things, I HAVE NOTES: I hate the shoes (the runway look had MUCH more intriguing shoes). It might need SOMETHING at the waist? I wish the skirt, perhaps, were more of a real color and not this color that hovers between our world and the afterlife. I wish I knew what color lipstick that was. I wish I were a little bit taller. I wish I were a baller.
