I love tiered skirts! So cute and girly. And I like how this one can be combined with the dress from last week, I’m a huge fan of mix-and-match outfits where a few pieces can create lots of looks.
Hey Neon!
Mix and match outfits are so fun to play with.
There are a lot pieces that allow you to mix and match in this book.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!
