    I do like the one-sleeve look.
    There is something very feminine about it.

    I love one sleeved wonders. But, isn't it funny to think that they are exactly that -- only one sleeved. It's a silly concept. I wonder who ever came up with that idea. "Let's make a shirt -- with one sleeve!"

    Great pictures as always. I've always loved the sexiness of a one-shouldered top, it's just so unexpected, almost as if your top could fall off at any moment haha. That 2nd dress (is it Michael Kors?) is so hot!
