She took the words right out of my mouth, er, fingertips! I love this look--I remember noting it when I first saw it on the blog. It's daring, unexpected, sophisticated, knowing, self-confident...To my eye, the lightness of the flats are balanced out by her skin showing through the lacy sleeves. Her chic haircut is the cherry on top! She is a style leader, not a follower, IMHO. Wherever she was going (party, art gallery, out to dinner, etc.), how many young women there were wearing a short tight skirt or dress and really high heels, do you think? Probably the vast majority, I'd wager. Her look stands out.
Yes, Angie, I could totally see you rocking this look! You already sort of do, with your dressy midi dresses and flats that you sport, and your pixie cut :).
