acne cure

Leather jacket: Juicy Couture (gifted). Dress: H&M. Lace bra: American Apparel. Shoes: Chuck Taylors (DIY studded). Bag: Thrift (DIY studded). Beaded bracelet: Necklace from LF. Silver beaded bracelets: Fashionology (gifted). Crucifix: Fashionology. Coral Ring: YSL.
Chances of me scoring this long lusted after ACNE dress are long gone, so I grabbed this version instead to satisfy the crave.
I remember mentioning this cropped jacket here, but to switch it up, I'll probably wear this dress as well with a long cardigan, scarf, boots and hat once it cools down.
God. It's August already... summer's going too fast.
