Mixed Bag, Part 1: "The Best of Black & White" |
Okay, so what am I doing NOW? I'm plowin' straight through all seasons, from Spring 2000 to Spring 2007, and putting together the outfits I find the best. You may have noticed that I tend to include mostly colorful outfits...but THIS week, I go all out with the black and white! and gray! aaand combinations thereof. :-| ...SO, as you'd expect, there is plenty of Chanel.... And Please NOTE!~ Because pictures from older seasons are much smaller at my source websites, I have had to enlarge them, which would explain why some of them are a little "bitmapped up," so to speak. |
