I think this is one of the funniest outfit shoots I've done; there I was in this sweet demure traditional dress, and you see the sweet flower wreath, the little cute "jacket", the voluminous skirt (there's a crinoline underneath FYI), and suddenly it's like wait, what the — a…

Black Ruffles Denim Top & Favourite Androgynous Pinstriped Pants To The Rescue
