apart from the hats, the metallic necklace and the bags i mostly like this, thanks scott

 

[MulletProof]

i like the prints.

 

[Scott]

You're welome everybody.

I do have to concur...the belts are simply divine! I do,like Mullet,like the printing though.

Actually,if I can,I will get some close-ups of that Tess collection. Those ribbons and belts in that are beautiful!

Thanks for the pictures, Scott
hmmm, overall I have mixed feelings.
I don't like the patterns. They seem too clunky and the colors are also clunky.

I like the belts, but not really the army belt...none of the designs leave enough of an impression on me and mostly they look like anyone could have made them.

Would love to see those closeups

the prints are pretty nice, love the tshirts!

 

[lostinemotion]

I like the prints, but looks like American Apparel Tee shirts. Even if they aren't, they would be so much more special if the lines of the tops were exaggerated. Just my opinion.

Thought I'd add some more current images... Best wishes to all.
