Duck said...

Ummm your labels are all mixed up! For example, you have marker the Gareth Pugh dress as Eley Kishimoto! Many of the others are wrong too! (although the most obvious is PPQ...)

Also, do we still believe in trends? Aren't these just invented by magazines so that we'll buy more copies?

So funny that you did this post bc I was thinking the other day about how I wanted a striped shirt to wear under blazers. I can't look at vertical stripes though; they make me dizzy. Thanks for the inspiration pics!
