    The high-low is subtle, it's not too bad. The design flows together with the ruffle sleeves. It's a very nice max studio dress! Love it! Very elegant.

    I started watching your videos for your unboxing ones ,I've never really enjoyed watching vlog type videos before but one of them started playing after an unboxing I was watching at the beginning of last year and I found you so welcoming i found myself hooked. I've watched pretty much every video you've released ever since. It's been so emotional seeing you go through this huge journey but you genuinely look so much more happier and healthier than last year.I believe some things no matter how hard happen for a greater reason ,this no matter how painful has lead you to a better path for you. I'm sure one day you'll look back and be thankful for the changes you had to make . I'm looking forward to seeing where life takes you next.

      @@MichelJanse Idk how much of a sewer you are but there's so many ideas online for what they call upcycling garments...like adding lace panels towards the bottom of the dress/skirt or in just the shorter part of the dress/skirt. Many times they can be removed whenever you want to go back to the original way it was made. Personally I think the dress with the high low cut is so pretty and kinda flirty 😁.

    I think the yellow dress looks, genuinely, fantastic. There’s similar dresses on Anthropologie with the high-low (ie. search up “Gold Hutch Geo Wrap Maxi Dress”) so it doesn’t look dated, imo. Just that vintage-y, boho, feminine look. Nice intrigue with the beautiful bigger sleeves but cinched waist. It looks easy and light. Really nice find!

    You have a beautiful aesthetic, in your home, for yourself and the way you combine textures, flows and materials, how you create outfits by way of artistic flare, and even for food (because we all know beautiful food tastes better!). I don't know if you see, realize and acknowledge the "you" that is coming forward like the butterfly from the cacoon. Watching your vlogs evolve thru this period of healing, growth, even thru pain and ultimately forgiveness (in this, I mean forgiving yourself for accepting less than your worth), it is something to see. Just look at the power you have regained for yourself and how that displays in so many areas of your life. Really beautiful💗

    The hi low is super cute, maybe outdated but you could pull it off!! The tank dress is a big yes from me!! So cute. The sweater vest need some thing else under it. Leather jacket is a yes. Good job. It is easier to be hard sometimes, working on leaving your heart open is harder, but is so much more of a blessing in the long run. I am proud of you for feeling your emotions as they come along instead of stuffing them.
