Now who'd have thought this could be a good combination? Not me. When I got this shirt initially, I always thought I'd pair it with a pair of leggings. But I tried and tried, and I never found a pairing good enough to show off the amazingness of the pieces. I blame my legs. I have a rather typical Chinese body figure: narrow shoulders and relatively short limbs, just not the type favoured by major fashion aesthetic trend at the moment(or ever). So my vision of the shirt going with a pair of leather-effect leggings(maybe) and some sleek & minimal ankle boots seemed not to suit myself all that much. The shirt sat and sat in my closet for almost a month, and then I finally decided to ditch my old thoughts and go the other way completely, and that's how this post happened!

And here are the items I actually wore(as I held myself up to face the ugly truth):
Shirt // Trousers // Leather jacket(similar) // Bag // Shoes(although you can't see) // lips
