(Topshop blazer - Dress c/o Romwe - Report Signature platform sandals - Alexander Wang rocco)

This blazer is way oversized for me, but rather than trying to fight it by rolling up the sleeves etc., I found that accentuating the effect by draping it over the shoulders is actually much more flattering. It's a new habit for me so the movement restriction is a bit of a downer... but I think I can stand to improve my skills in the 'robotic shoulder' department.

Fashion Westie wrote:: Robotic shoulder sounds like an ACTUAL thing! Are we talking the slip off factor? Reach for a door handle - jacket falls. Go to pull hair out of eyes - jacket falls. I recommend a sneaky safety pin holding either lapel to the garment beneath.

Looks good yo!; 1/26/2012 1:17 PM

Theonlyfashionprincess wrote:: Stunning look and pictures. I still like the sandals. I remember you once wrote you didn't like the fact that you're posting summer-looks when most of the blogosphere is posting winter-looks. But I think it's great! I'm so looking forward to spring/summer and I love seeing the new S/S collections, so I really like seeing you wearing summer clothes. You're the best source of summer-inspiration in the whole blogosphere! :D

I love the jewelry in the last post- did you know that is Kim Kardashian's line? Who would've thought, right?

Oh, congrats on winning the Joie Girl Contest!! I'm so excited for you and can't wait to see the outcome!! :)
