  • Sometimes it’s the little details that make the outfit. The flutter sleeve. The ombre earring. A super tall pair of shoes. And my little four year old daughter capturing it all on film.

  3. I JUST saw this at Target and almost bought it…but couldn’t figure out how to wear it since it was sheer! Now wish I’d snagged it and followed your lead…
