That's a lot of stuff there in Post #1312, stannerslove! Let me weigh in.
* Historically, I've hated gladiator sandals. I've eased up on them slowly. Someone's going to likely say those are fantastic, but hear me out... I'm going to Moderate Yay! those. I don't want to sound like too much of a meanie, but those are... alright. I'd probably prefer them in a more vivid color than gray. But, your call.
* The racer vest coverup thingie gets a slight Yay! from me. Not exactly in love with it.
* Always nay any denim that is bleached or acid-washed. These shorts, however... I'm going to say moderate Nay! to those. The polka dot designs make me feel uneasy. And I'm not usually as excited about denim short shorts. They are cute, though. I'd like them more if they didn't have those polka dots.
* I'm a fan of ruffles, as long as they are done right. So for the ruffle hem skirt, I'm going to go Yay! on this skirt. It looks lovely to me. I'm thinking some high-heel pumps or ankle boots with those. This is a nice skirt to me.
Moderate yay gladiator sandals, slight yay racerback vest, moderate nay bleached short-shorts, and yay ruffled skirt. Dress and shop with confidence!
