Dainty Me Darling

Feminine vulgar with a touch of roughness. Who ever said a girl couldn't play tough? Tough with fashion that is, and great at it as well. A fine line of feminine daintiness with a whole lot of " so you looking at me" mixture compliments a style of individualistic calm. Stepping outside of the rigid box can be difficult for some but for those with edge there is no bothersome in mixing a little girly with edge. Nice colors of feminine pigments with a tough textured piece can leave a complete style. Indulge in more below:
