You know how I roll - the gazey effect on live photos, every time.Blouse was absolutely lovely live; I enjoyed it thoroughly. I only snapped a handful of photos (I was busy! Plus, they didn't move around too much. Not that they needed to. But, you get it ... You do get it, right?) and you can find them below.
