And we do mean “box.”

In every sense of the word.

It starts off well. It’s a little boxy up top, but the colors and the embellishments are pleasing and suit her well. But once you get to the crotch box, we’re afraid we’ve reached “fashion disaster” levels of problematic. It’s not just the box on her box, it’s the fact that it’s all so shapeless and clown-like when you get to the bottom. As we said the other day about her style choices, they never quite hit the mark or gel the way they should. She takes risks and she seems to have an understanding of the styles and colors that work for her, but somehow, by the time we get to the results, it’s all fallen apart somehow. TER in a red jumpsuit with metallic blocking sounds like a great idea. This? Not so much. Not at all, in fact.
