Black Tights

After School Suspension

November 21, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I received this suspender skirt from OASAP and instantly fell in love. The caging under the bust gives it an especially edgy twist while the circle skirt and short length keep it fun and flirty. It’s a simple, easy way to add visual interest to an average top. Sorry to make another school-themed post but…Read More

by Celina[zilla_likes]

I picked this dress up on a trip to Nijmegan, and I absolutely love it. It’s comfortable and easy to wear but the black side panels, zipper front, and rounded neck add visual interest. I paired it with black tights and a red lip on a day I was feeling particularly fierce. Dress: Purchased in…Read More
