I appreciate that the jacket may have been a concession to weather, but it really makes this outfit heavy and so very boxy. The flare at the bottom really needed to be the main feature, I think.

I guess she's drawn to stuff that changes shape halfway down her leg. I like this better than the first one -- bless her for leaning into her curls with both, though -- but parts of it do still look like a toilet-paper craft.

This is fine; it's hard to tell what's going on under the coat, and I'm sure it'll go off the rails there. I am NOT a fan of the shoes -- the backless heels are not my jam anyway, but the cut of the peep toe here has the illusory effect of making her big toe look huge?!? I get distracted by odd things, I admit.

I also don't understand the wisdom of belting your blazer just... to DO it. That doesn't scream out for cinching, particularly. Maybe a button broke? Maybe it did look REALLY too big? Generally, it's a flourish that draws attention to itself in a way that makes you suspect it's a hasty solution to a problem.

At least she still gets to be Simone Ashley.
