“No man, stop it! How cute is she? The protagonist of a teen movie definitely wore this after one of them makeover montages. Blue eye shadow en alles.”

The years of the midriff. 🐭
“Willing to bet money that this style of top was worn at a movie premiere in like 2004. With low rise bootlegs, a skinny scarf, a shoulder bag, and kitten heels. Can you see it?”

Turn it around or upside down? 🪐

About to risk it all for her. 🦋

It’s giving strong independent. 🦑
“She looks like she has some painful boning or lacing to give her this gothic appearance, but really it’s just structured and strategic stitching down the torso. Very good, very impressed, very sad it doesn’t fit.”

Oar noar. 🐭
“Fully sent me to H2O: Just Add Water and those TikToks re-enacting them with the horrible accents. The straps thread through the top seam to allow adjusting and ruching and general loveliness. Love how this style is coming back!”

“You’d be so lucky. Bought it for myself but it was just not doing anything for the girls so I had to let her go. Sheer lace with layering under the front b**b panels to hide nip nops.”
