I love one sleeved wonders. But, isn't it funny to think that they are exactly that -- only one sleeved. It's a silly concept. I wonder who ever came up with that idea. "Let's make a shirt -- with one sleeve!"

leeselooks said...

demure but sexy too.

oh i am loving your FW picks!

I am loving the whole asymmetrical sleeved look - they are so beautiful and add something to any outfit :) They show just enough skin too and are sexy without being slutty.
Gorgeous selections, CC!

MizzJ said...

Great pictures as always. I've always loved the sexiness of a one-shouldered top, it's just so unexpected, almost as if your top could fall off at any moment haha. That 2nd dress (is it Michael Kors?) is so hot!

Frankie said...

Great selection! It's such a great look x

Olga's Rodarte dress and Raquel's Oscar De La Renta dress are screaming for me to steal them from right off the runway. <3
