Off the Shoulders

Off the shoulders.

Off the Shoulders. I feel like I’m straight out of a Disney Princess movie when I rock the off the shoulders look.

I’m using this season to test out a few different styles and colors, THEN I’ll spend the moola on ones I figure out go best with my style. The green neon is my first love within this experiment, I’ve been wearing them in every OOTD shoot. Most recently, I shot them back in Chicago with another grey top. *Another grey top … *
