I love the rose gold and the chevron/leafy/Roman headpiece feel it …
begin with an unflattering skirt preferably in a jersey knit * I don’t doubt these skirts will come back in style, and while it does hit at the right point of my knee to flatter my leg, there’s too much going on around the waist, which is supposed to sit on the hips = unflattering. …
