    Your outfit looks spectacular. Except you know you can’t see the shirt is gingham right? It totally looks like a solid color of white actually. So weird. I am visualizing the pink gingham thouh and it is very cute.
    Love the sash tied into a bow. The clutch is very cool looking. You have the best jeans here.

    I’m in awe about how you could literally wear what the inspiration told you – beat-up boyfriend jeans and a plaid shirt – and make it look so refined, so ladylike. Wow. That’s what I call “inspiration”, as the outfit has a totally different feel with the exact pieces. Amazingly done!

    OMG!!! That clutch is absolutely adorable. And it’s sooo cool that she not only named it after you but sent you one of your very own. I could never be that lucky. Cute outfit too. So soft and feminine!
