omg I looove week-long outfit experiments like this, and i also know they take a lot to film and put together so props for that!! this was so fun to watch
This might sound really stupid but I feel like I have anxiety about so many things, so when picking what I wear, it's the one place where I can actually stay firmly in my comfort zone. I know what I like and what makes me feel at least a little confident and I don't want to change it. I envy how brave you are to change your style and try new things.
Those brown coveralls are FANTASTIC... I LOVE them! You can always wear a long sleeve top or sweater underneath, and you can then put a vest on top. Try a chunky belt too... there are so many ways to change them up. I have a couple pairs, and they can be so versatile. Let your imagination run free... just have fun with them! They look great on you by the way! 🤩❤
I love them too! I always like wearing my hair up messy with some strands down, and chunky gold earrings when I wear mine. Also I think with these brown ones I’d probably role up the sleeves once or twice. Maybe a chunky boot?! 🙌🏻
The barrel Jean outfit looked awesome on you, and I loathe barrel jeans. I’ll never wear them, but you changed my mind that they don’t suck for everyone
Alexa you NEED to get a poncho like that one. It's genuinely one of my favorite outfits I've seen you in, it just suits you so well especially that tone of yellow! I've never wanted to reach through the screen and have an outfit more
The jumpsuit is so nice on you! I'd recommend adding in some colour, maybe a colourful sock and a bandana around your neck in a contrasting colour to brown like pink, yellow or green. Maybe also sizing smaller if you prefer the fit to be closer to your waist.
The poncho outfit was soooo cute and so 70s!! I love that style on you!! I know it isnt your favorite, but I do think it suits you so well, especially with your hair too 😍
The cargo pants were so cute! I think it would’ve looked nice with something like that cropped black graphic tee, something a little bit more grungy than frilly.
You are the only person I've seen that has styled the barrel jeans in a way that I actually found cute and made me not hate them 😂, they actually look really good on your frame
I love the barrel jeans with the striped tee. And it would look lovely with kitten heels. And the poncho is chef's kiss. I see it more like boho style, not cowboy. I'm glad you didn't change your boots.
Yes Alexa come join us in the coveralls / boiler club! 😂 but seriously, I almost spit my drink out when I saw you pull that out. I am wearing a long sleeve purple one right now. I love jumpsuits in general so much. They stand on their own but I am maximalist so I accessorize with additional collars, scarves, skinny scarves, giant pendant necklaces, arm warmers / gloves, overskirts and or belts and ruffle leg warms to stick out under them and over my docs.
Barrel leg jeans, camo, cargo pants, jerseys, athletic style clothes in general, ponchos, capris... we seem to dislike wearing the exact same things! I'd feel super uncomfortable in those, because they're so not my style. I also agree on knowing what you dislike being good for your style
Being a german in fall, where workwear and funcion wear is suuuper duper popular in general, I am waiting for coveralls to come into style as well(and differnet torso lenghts...). So useful for gardening and physical work. Also the high waisted cargo pants from workwear brands with with little inbuilt cincers, so much more comfy than belts...
I think people tend to compliment things that are out of the ordinary as a way to say, "I approve of your unusual choices". Most of these items were unusual in some way so I'm not too surprised you get a lot of compliments!
25:33 LOVE the poncho outfit on you with the jean skirt & brown boots. I would totally wear that. And I thought it was perfect for you, color & tone-wise.
The heat is definitely a big part of the problem with the coveralls. The color is good with your complexion and the cut fits your body really well. I live where it's much cooler and I see people wear them with a jacket, a scarf and a bag as a comfy running-errands-all-day outfit, but at 85 degrees that'd be just asking for heat stroke. Also I laughed when you said you're not going to move your cat because you're not the Devil. My dad is the same way with his cat. He once stood there working at his desk for an hour because he refused to move the cat off of his office chair. There's just something about the sight of a comfy kitty that makes people's brains go, "well, that's their spot now, not mine."
I donated a few jerseys I had from walking some 5Ks with my company. Since I am retired now for a few years, I figured probably never wear them again. I did keep a couple though. I just received a “wide cuffed jean pants with just a bit of distressing” on the front pockets and intend to wear them today. When I tried them on I wasn’t sure if it was “me” but will wear them out of the house and see if I like them more. Just last night I was looking at jean skirts, as I bought some brown knee high boots and that it was a good time to get one for this weather. Most have a long slit in the front, so I’m skipping those. Yours is really cute on you, but for my age, 66, I don’t want it to look like “little house on the prairie.” I’ll keep looking. Maybe I’ll find one at a thrift store and if I decide I don’t like the look after all, donate it.
I have a big butt and big thighs and i loooove barrell jeans since its so hard for me to find jeans that are actually lose on my thighs and more fitted around my waist! Plus they are so comfy!
I think you just need to find the right coveralls for your body. I have really bad luck with everything jumpsuit/overall/coveralls type do to my measures, but I was lucky enough to find one denim coveralls that are loose feating but have an ajustable elastic waistband so maybe you just need to find the right ones for you.
Great idea! I really enjoyed watching this. I liked the coveralls and think you could do more with them if it had been cooler. I really don't like the look of barrel jeans on anyone. I don't like the camo cargos either - too loose or something. I like capris, but I always wear them with sandals. And I love that you won't move the cat!
I love ponchos, I have a few vintage ones my mom and aunts made in the 70s. I think vintage ponchos just kind of have wild colors bc that was in in the 60s/70s. Also I'm such a fan of barrel jeans they make me feel like a classy clown
Lol... "The Big Bad Wolf Poncho" 😂. . And that Music when u were at the car wash reminded me of a Charlie's Angels Episode! Great Video u can tell u were out of yer comfort zone but shows yer willing to try different things 👏. Big Cheers for Alexa !!
i was gagged when u pulled out the barrel jeans bc i have the same pair that i wear almost every day 😭 they r soooi comfy and after awhile they look like a normal proportional !!
I think the reason pieces trend is because they are an easy way to look stylish if you don’t really know how to style things. They usually are an interesting piece that can really only go with basics but appear to be very thought out. I hope that makes sense
Love this style of video! :) I've got some barrel jeans but they aren't as baggy as the ones that are trending right now and they are my favourite jeans! I struggle with find Mom jeans and my barrel jeans are an alternative to the mom fit
One thing with coveralls for me, I need something that gives shape, so sinched in waist but flared bottoms. The belts do help then too as it makes an almost 70s silhouette 😊 Also what are the brand of camo trousers as I love them 😂
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience wearing these unfamiliar items! This was definitely a good reminder to always consider the functionality of an item and the way it will interact with clothes you’d wear it with, and to go into a store to try on a new silhouettes (or borrow from friends/family). One thought I had about the camo pants is that I could see it making more sense with your style if the color combination was more subdued (e.g. dark monochrome and/or muted) and the silhouette was more fitted (similar to your black/yellow plaid pants) or grunge (like a wide-leg trouser). I think the fabric, bold color combo, and cinched ankles made them look like a costume and really threw them into the “parachute pant” category lol 😅
Alexa you absolutely slayed in this video, you were able to take items that were out of your comfort zone and make them work for you!! 👏💓 But not just that, to be complimented by others that’s how you know you did a good job! I gotta ask tho for day 3, I noticed your star necklace and I really like it! Where did you get it from? 🌟
I thought you looked great in everything. The only one I would have changed was the sports jersey, which I think would have looked better with jeans. I love your cow shirt. My daughter loves cows and now I need to find her one. ❤ It looked perfect with the capris!
I LOVE the coveralls on you! You look great! And I say yes to the belt ❤ I also really liked the poncho outfit and the capris with the white shirt, but I understand that you don't feel like yourself in them
I got 2 piercings while on my period and they actually didn't hurt at all. So hopefully that helps with your tattoo pain too! Something about our pain tolerances being higher bc of cramps and such. I felt like I had a superpower.
Great video, I think you've pulled off every outfit! (except for the capris, I think the whole world should close the door on capris 🤣) My favorite fit was the barrel jeans!!
I love that you are going to thrift in the Netherlands. I ADORED thrifting in another country. It was so fun/ interesting to see what other people donate. Edit to add: LOOOVE the poncho outfit.
Looooved this type of video! I’ve been experimenting wish fashion lately and have gone out in some outfits that I ended up feeling really uncomfortable in, but it helped me realize my preferences moving forward! Thanks for putting all this effort in to the vid!🤗
Wow, the barrel jeans outfit was so quirky and cool! Once they were styled, I was loving the look on you. What a great way to try trends without feeling regret if you don't love it.
Omg so interesting that you're going to the Netherlands! I'm from the Netherlands and I wouldn't think many people would find it an interesting place to go. (But it is very different to many other countries so I guess it makes sense for people to want to visit for all the unique cities and things).
I think it's because one of her parents or grandparents grew up in the Netherlands! So she's not Dutch but I think she still somewhat identifies with it from hearing stories about the Netherlands
Capris like that make me instantly think of Grease, so I always picture the button up top and little sneakers way to style them? And like, they just look like Summer, you know? Anyway, you looked so cute in the coveralls and somehow So Tall in the poncho outfit? Rip the jersey, but everything else looked really good!
First of all, you are not annoying! Second, this was a very interesting video and I enjoyed the vlog style :) Third, I think that the camo pants looked really good with the baby tee you started with :D
You don't have to wear the coveralls buttoned all the way up just unbutton it a bit and put a cute baby tee under it. A lot of these trends have variations so if you like it just find the version that works for you.
😎Living in LA, I would definitely buy a lighter weight cotton boiler suit〰️as opposed to a thicker fabric that leans closer to the denim family🥵. Personally prefer ¹slouchy & relaxed (vs fitted &/or supersized); ²to avoid fixed elastic at the waist & instead belt it for the best fit; & lastly, ³add a body-con ribbed razorback tank. That way you can leave several buttons open on top for interest. 😬Plus, I would not want to be left in only my bra when using the 🚽facilities. 😉If I wore a white tank, I would cuff the legs & wear naked socks w/white leather sneakers. If I wore a black tank, I would probably leave them straight w/my black combat boots. 🪖Loved the dark camo cargo pants in my favorite color palette. Since the pants had more volume, I would probably match it w/a body conturing black ribbed razorback tank that was fully tucked in, & a sheer black button up shirt open over it as a light shacket. Wear black ballet flats in the heat, or black socks & combat boots if it is cool out. The gray barrel jeans were quite cute. 🤩Loved Alexa's feminine grunge look, but as an hourglass⏳️figure I would 💯% skip this silhouette. Don't like to wear anything that highlights my width↔️. (That's also why I skip skinny jeans.) Relaxed leg w/a straight cut is more flattering on my frame. The ▪️b&w▫️ checkered retro clam diggers were quite 🆒️〰️esp. w/the cropped black tee. Alexa has such a slim, straight little figure. She totally rocked that slim-on-slim outfit proportion. FYI RE Capri pants: They are 🇮🇹Italian from the Amalfi Coast🏖. They are a lightweight, loose, soft straight trouser that's cropped✂️ between the bottom of your calf to top of your ankle. They were purposely designed for comfort in ☀️hot temps & to show off the custom leather sandals that the area is known for. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
You could jazz the coveralls with some pins/badges on the pockets, maybe a chain style belt? I feel like "styling" usually involves more accessories...lol, but not everyone is into a lot of accessories. I think you gave them all a good try, but sometimes something just isn't your style, and that's ok! ETA: I think the biker jacket actually looks rad with the jersey and skirt combo! xD
I have seen people style coveralls or boilers suits as I think they are called in the UK. Is to wear a graphic T under them and leave the top open but not all the way down if that makes sense
Thanks for the video! The coveralls were really cute and i appreciate your effort in trying uncomfortable things, i believe it can help with understanding what actually makes sense for you ❤ Sorry about the strugle tho haha Edit: i also want to say that while appreciated, you don't need to force yourself just to satisfy viewers or anything like that, your content is great because its sincere - just a lil reminder
I have some rust coloured coveralls and I have the exact same issues! I haven't been able to layer, putting a jacket over them feels impossible, plus mine also have that elastic in the middle that sits on my hips rather than my waist! This video has inspired me though, as I've literally never worn them because they're so awkward, so today I either wear them or sell them 😂
I really like the cargo pants outfit!! I love the juxtaposition of the more masculine pants with the hyper-feminine top!! I love wearing stuff like that
You looked so sunny 70s in the poncho outfit! And, I see the direction you were thinking of going with the capris, which could have been a rockabilly cool look (totally get why you had to abort the original styling, though-- the logistics of being a woman are rough sometimes!).
The weather is dropping into the 50s and 40s here, so I think it's time I plow through my thrifted wardrobe and weed out the summer clothes from the winter clothes. I had a really good score this week at finding some sweaters!
I have a black drop waisted dress... I wear it with a hoodie (a blue one with a pink "Oxford" written on it) and blue sneakers (adidas spezial) :) Damn, you're amazing in every outfit you tried ! The Netherlands are soooo close to my location... but to far to meet you by any chance ^^
I think the coveralls could have used a couple of turn ups of the sleeves to match the rolling on the pants. Also, not surprised you got a lot of compliments on the poncho. That was *chefs kiss*
I think to make it more you with the jersey and skirt, pair it with your Docs boots or Doc Mary Jane not sneakers. Don’t lean on the sporty but need to toughen it up with some boots.
Omg I love these little peeks into your daily life! (Only five mins in and already commenting) and yeah I noticed it too the coveralls fit should be a bit different and I think this is my problem with them too… like they only fit one body type, that even if I wear the right size it doesn’t fall on my body the right way because my proportions are different :/
Roll up the sleeves of the coveralls! I think the fit was a bit too long for your arms (which is usually the case for me) It changes how it fits/looks so much!!
okay, the barrel jeans would have worked with your cow sleep shirt great! But loved how you styled it. The sports T I would have combined with a blue jean maybe. Please hit me up if you are planning your Netherlands trip. I would love to help you out (I am Dutch) and have you avoid all tourist traps
Lmao the cargo pants were definitely different to see on you because it doesn’t exactly go with your style. BUT you totally made them your style and came out so cute even in the try on part they are sooooo cute on you!!
I actually thought the cow shirt with the capris was the cutest version of the outfits you tried on for them, compared to the more fitted shirts. a lot of what you learned about your style actually seems based more on comfort, which is totally valid, but it was interesting to see that the item you came around most on - the barrel pants - was mostly about silhouette! and because they were comfortable, the barrier to get over your hesitation and play around was much lower. :)
I think barrel jeans were not the correct fit for your height, body figure etc. In my understanding of the “it” fit they should be definitely longer, narrower, closer to hips and then balloon out from lower point on the leg. So, this might not be the overall item personal appeal problem but difficulty in finding the correct model of the item. Interesting if a different fit of the same item would make a difference. Great video idea and exercise. Provokes a lot of thinking how one thing can throw you completely off even if you like the concept or the other way around. Totally relate to the comfort zone aspect of clothes.
I love the Poncho.. It's so beautiful😍 However I love a good poncho I have 1 I've worn it multiple times over dresses with jeans et cetera it is very much a fall accessory for me though I don't like to wear it in the summer and when winter. Denim jean skirt Yeah. I've the capris especially with that black low back tee shirt! I'd throw on your Mary Jane docs. 🤔

I totally agree. Sometimes it's fun to change oneself creatively, but there's nothing wrong with sticking to what you know and like.
Agreed! It’s a great video concept, but probably not something I’d do in real life.
Tnat doesn't sound stupid at all! ❤
Sameeee😢
Plot twist, everyone else in the cafe wearing cargo pants was also dressing out of their comfort zone and thought they were cute for your style
The poncho fit is 10/10!!! Love the 70s look!!!
Those brown coveralls are FANTASTIC... I LOVE them! You can always wear a long sleeve top or sweater underneath, and you can then put a vest on top. Try a chunky belt too... there are so many ways to change them up. I have a couple pairs, and they can be so versatile. Let your imagination run free... just have fun with them!

They would look better without the elastic in the waist.
I love them too! I always like wearing my hair up messy with some strands down, and chunky gold earrings when I wear mine.
Also I think with these brown ones I’d probably role up the sleeves once or twice. Maybe a chunky boot?! 🙌🏻
If you layer on top its even more of a hassle to go to the loo.
I also love my coveralls!
The barrel Jean outfit looked awesome on you, and I loathe barrel jeans. I’ll never wear them, but you changed my mind that they don’t suck for everyone
Alexa you NEED to get a poncho like that one. It's genuinely one of my favorite outfits I've seen you in, it just suits you so well especially that tone of yellow! I've never wanted to reach through the screen and have an outfit more
Also I feel like you would enjoy mid calf denim capris more than patterned ones. They look so good with platform sandals and riding boots
Same girl, same!!!!!! And if you could reach through the screen and grab it, I would then grab it out of your hands lol
The jumpsuit is so nice on you! I'd recommend adding in some colour, maybe a colourful sock and a bandana around your neck in a contrasting colour to brown like pink, yellow or green. Maybe also sizing smaller if you prefer the fit to be closer to your waist.
The poncho outfit was soooo cute and so 70s!! I love that style on you!! I know it isnt your favorite, but I do think it suits you so well, especially with your hair too 😍
The jumpsuit looks so good with the belt!! What are you even thinking haha, you looked beautiful in it ❤

I think we can all agree that the best outfit of this entire video was the giant Twilight tshirt/Halloween pj pants/purple croc combo 👌🏻
Yes Alexa come join us in the coveralls / boiler club! 😂 but seriously, I almost spit my drink out when I saw you pull that out. I am wearing a long sleeve purple one right now. I love jumpsuits in general so much. They stand on their own but I am maximalist so I accessorize with additional collars, scarves, skinny scarves, giant pendant necklaces, arm warmers / gloves, overskirts and or belts and ruffle leg warms to stick out under them and over my docs.
Barrel leg jeans, camo, cargo pants, jerseys, athletic style clothes in general, ponchos, capris... we seem to dislike wearing the exact same things! I'd feel super uncomfortable in those, because they're so not my style.
I also agree on knowing what you dislike being good for your style

MY FAV VIDEO OF YOURS! LOVE
Your personality is like a ray of sunshine plus your such a natural at it. ❤
I LOVE the coveralls on you! You look great! And I say yes to the belt ❤ I also really liked the poncho outfit and the capris with the white shirt, but I understand that you don't feel like yourself in them
I think it definitely opened me up to possibly thrifting a poncho in the future, maybe if it was in a different shade!
I got 2 piercings while on my period and they actually didn't hurt at all. So hopefully that helps with your tattoo pain too! Something about our pain tolerances being higher bc of cramps and such. I felt like I had a superpower.

I loved the blue skirt with the poncho! 💛
This video is so, so, so good!!
I Love the outfit with the poncho!

🪖Loved the dark camo cargo pants in my favorite color palette. Since the pants had more volume, I would probably match it w/a body conturing black ribbed razorback tank that was fully tucked in, & a sheer black button up shirt open over it as a light shacket. Wear black ballet flats in the heat, or black socks & combat boots if it is cool out.
The gray barrel jeans were quite cute. 🤩Loved Alexa's feminine grunge look, but as an hourglass⏳️figure I would 💯% skip this silhouette. Don't like to wear anything that highlights my width↔️. (That's also why I skip skinny jeans.) Relaxed leg w/a straight cut is more flattering on my frame.
The ▪️b&w▫️ checkered retro clam diggers were quite 🆒️〰️esp. w/the cropped black tee. Alexa has such a slim, straight little figure. She totally rocked that slim-on-slim outfit proportion.
FYI RE Capri pants: They are 🇮🇹Italian from the Amalfi Coast🏖. They are a lightweight, loose, soft straight trouser that's cropped✂️ between the bottom of your calf to top of your ankle. They were purposely designed for comfort in ☀️hot temps & to show off the custom leather sandals that the area is known for.

You could jazz the coveralls with some pins/badges on the pockets, maybe a chain style belt? I feel like "styling" usually involves more accessories...lol, but not everyone is into a lot of accessories. I think you gave them all a good try, but sometimes something just isn't your style, and that's ok! ETA: I think the biker jacket actually looks rad with the jersey and skirt combo! xD
I have seen people style coveralls or boilers suits as I think they are called in the UK. Is to wear a graphic T under them and leave the top open but not all the way down if that makes sense
Thanks for the video!
The coveralls were really cute and i appreciate your effort in trying uncomfortable things, i believe it can help with understanding what actually makes sense for you ❤
Sorry about the strugle tho haha
Edit: i also want to say that while appreciated, you don't need to force yourself just to satisfy viewers or anything like that, your content is great because its sincere - just a lil reminder
The capris look so good on you!!!
I absolutely adore coveralls and jumpsuits in general but I’ve until recently been very uncomfortable in overalls!
The coveralls were sooooo cute on you!
I have some rust coloured coveralls and I have the exact same issues! I haven't been able to layer, putting a jacket over them feels impossible, plus mine also have that elastic in the middle that sits on my hips rather than my waist! This video has inspired me though, as I've literally never worn them because they're so awkward, so today I either wear them or sell them 😂
I really like the cargo pants outfit!! I love the juxtaposition of the more masculine pants with the hyper-feminine top!! I love wearing stuff like that
I want that poncho! 💙
I loveee the poncho so much!! This video was so fun. Also what lipstick are you wearing?
Haha I struggle with my boiler suit too and I really have no idea what to do w it. I wish I bought a pink one rather than neutral
You looked so sunny 70s in the poncho outfit! And, I see the direction you were thinking of going with the capris, which could have been a rockabilly cool look (totally get why you had to abort the original styling, though-- the logistics of being a woman are rough sometimes!).
Loved the poncho!
Omg that poncho is to die for 😍
The weather is dropping into the 50s and 40s here, so I think it's time I plow through my thrifted wardrobe and weed out the summer clothes from the winter clothes. I had a really good score this week at finding some sweaters!
I have a black drop waisted dress... I wear it with a hoodie (a blue one with a pink "Oxford" written on it) and blue sneakers (adidas spezial) :)
Damn, you're amazing in every outfit you tried !
The Netherlands are soooo close to my location... but to far to meet you by any chance ^^
I think the coveralls could have used a couple of turn ups of the sleeves to match the rolling on the pants. Also, not surprised you got a lot of compliments on the poncho. That was *chefs kiss*
The poncho and the coveralls are so so good Alexa!
The coveralls didn't look bad. You might try a long sleeve coverall. Those particular capris hit at a weird length.
Autumn is so cute :3
I think to make it more you with the jersey and skirt, pair it with your Docs boots or Doc Mary Jane not sneakers. Don’t lean on the sporty but need to toughen it up with some boots.
Omg I love these little peeks into your daily life! (Only five mins in and already commenting) and yeah I noticed it too the coveralls fit should be a bit different and I think this is my problem with them too… like they only fit one body type, that even if I wear the right size it doesn’t fall on my body the right way because my proportions are different :/
the coveralls would look lovely with cute pointe ballet flats (no socks) and a statement necklace
Roll up the sleeves of the coveralls! I think the fit was a bit too long for your arms (which is usually the case for me) It changes how it fits/looks so much!!
okay, the barrel jeans would have worked with your cow sleep shirt great! But loved how you styled it.
The sports T I would have combined with a blue jean maybe.
Please hit me up if you are planning your Netherlands trip. I would love to help you out (I am Dutch) and have you avoid all tourist traps
Lmao the cargo pants were definitely different to see on you because it doesn’t exactly go with your style. BUT you totally made them your style and came out so cute even in the try on part they are sooooo cute on you!!
I think a basic coverall color like black or cream would be so cute you could tie a scarf on the beltloop for the hotter seasons !!
I actually thought the cow shirt with the capris was the cutest version of the outfits you tried on for them, compared to the more fitted shirts. a lot of what you learned about your style actually seems based more on comfort, which is totally valid, but it was interesting to see that the item you came around most on - the barrel pants - was mostly about silhouette! and because they were comfortable, the barrier to get over your hesitation and play around was much lower. :)
I think barrel jeans were not the correct fit for your height, body figure etc. In my understanding of the “it” fit they should be definitely longer, narrower, closer to hips and then balloon out from lower point on the leg. So, this might not be the overall item personal appeal problem but difficulty in finding the correct model of the item. Interesting if a different fit of the same item would make a difference. Great video idea and exercise. Provokes a lot of thinking how one thing can throw you completely off even if you like the concept or the other way around. Totally relate to the comfort zone aspect of clothes.
I NEED THE LIP COLOR FROM THE COVERALLS DAY🔥🔥
i feel like rolling up the sleeves on the coveralls might also help them look cuter
You look great in EVERYTHING because you know how to style!!! I love watching you do your thing! 🤩🤩
I love the Poncho.. It's so beautiful😍 However I love a good poncho I have 1 I've worn it multiple times over dresses with jeans et cetera it is very much a fall accessory for me though I don't like to wear it in the summer and when winter. Denim jean skirt Yeah.
I've the capris especially with that black low back tee shirt! I'd throw on your Mary Jane docs. 🤔
The poncho was really pretty on you
The poncho outfit was soooo good! 😍
