We realize we could’ve prepared you for the scrolldown, but we feel like it might have lessened the impact here. If we were talking about some sort of formal red carpet situation, you can bet we would probably have some critiques to make here, but as a bit of high-impact street style, we’ve gotta say, we kinda love it. That skirt is insane, and if we didn’t find it so amusing we might even suggest it’s a little ugly. But it’s fun and she’s clearly using those pockets in a practical way. We might want to suppress the urge to suggest that the orange is a bit much or that there were graphic tees that might have coordinated with it a bit better, but that would be missing the point, we think. There’s an insane amount of personality and self-expression in this look. It feels 100 percent her. Given the surroundings, we think she’s right on point.
