Karis, 26

“I’m wearing a top with beadings, and a dress that titled itself as Tiffany Blue from High River on Taobao. The boots are No. 2201 Jolie Snaps by Paloma Wool. Stockings are The Emotional Fracture of Insects by Toetoe from China. The bag is a 2007 Christian Dior Polochon from Tokyo, just big enough for an iPad Pro. Necklaces are a. vintage Nina Ricci and a jade my mom gave me as an amulet. This morning I thought of that photo of Nicole Kidman full of joy as she leaves her attorney’s office. Maybe that’s the energy I’m going for subconsciously. Mostly, I dress for the weather, for fun, and whether I’ll get paint on me.”
