Because I frequently “suffer” from the Asian condition of being told I look younger than I actually am, I have, until now, been a little hesitant to wear graphic shirts in spite of being a fan of the look. However, this Doberman tee I came across recently was just a little too good to pass up. Paired with polished separates that have a hint of edge, the shirt feels like a fun element in the look without appearing juvenile. Wearing: […]

Pairing the piece with lighter wash jeans and brightening it up with a white blouse and a fun statement necklace immediately made it feel Spring-ready. p.s. I just […]
