imperfect

Beaded sheer dress: Zara (clearance). Boots: YSL Men. Necklace: African shop. Stone rings: Street vendors. Claw ring: Fashionology

These boots are my fave animal print item. Ever. You probably remember the shots of them taken here.
As for the dress, I found it with beads falling and the neck ripped open.
Imperfections. I love em.
