Looking at this just makes me itchy.

Long sleeves stuffed into a leather dress, paired with hot lights and camera flashes, is what I think of as the birthplace of sweat stains. [This is from the Marc Jacobs collection with all the giant furry hats and Wicked Witch of the West shoes](https://nymag.com/fashion/fashionshows/2012/fall/main/newyork/womenrunway/marcjacobs/index1.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io#slide27&ss1), and it *was* shown with a blouse underneath, albeit a floral one. Swapping in a white one is cleaner, and she did leave out the buckled hooves, so that's something. But now imagine this outfit without *any* blouse under it. Might work, right? Might be funky and sexy and have a little attitude. Might be a great example of how to pull pieces from *Mary Pimpins* and have them make sense in the world. I'm not sure how the neckline would work, still, but I would've liked a chance to see it. *With* the blouse, she looks like she's trying to be the librarian of Pleathertown.

Then again, I'm also a little devastated she didn't go full Pimpateer and wear it exactly as Marc originally conceived it. Perhaps with the addition of a rapier. Anna Wintour's face would have been epic.
