ombre.


skirt.f21.shirt.aa.flats.gap
the dip-dying of the ombre print is always re-surfacing.
reminiscent of matthew williamson spring 08 ?
oh f21.
It allows for color-blocking, but in a more subtle way. Just how I like it!
I have to resort to minimal clothes as the temperatures are scorching HOT, but fear not I will be back in the northern hemisphere next week, so will have to succumb to some Michelin man styling.
oh- a few people asked my whereabouts in Canada. I am from Edmonton, Alberta (well just outside of it...). so it is cold.
like -25...-30.
FREEZING.

    that top is perfect for showing off your tight tummy and the shape of your skirt (and might i add, what a fabulous f21 find!). this look is so well proportioned and simply pretty. xo

    I just tried on a dress at Topshop in the exact same print and colors. Methinks it is DIY-worthy. You look great in the crop top, not something everyone can pull off but you do it well. x

    Hello again!

    To answer your question, no, I'm not from SA but that's where I spent most of my life.

    Have fun when you get to Canada! The weather is really weird in NYC. From freezing, to mildly cold with hints of sunlight and to rain as well.

    Cheers
