I didn’t think pastels would be my thing, but the lilac hue of this Push Button dress is beautiful, and flattering on everyone! It treads a fine line, appearing very feminine but with the ability to be layered over jeans, it gives it an unexpected twist. I fell in love with it the second it hit the runway at Seoul Fashion Week.
