A@CGS — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:07:02 +0000

At first this young lady flatly REFUSED to let me take her picture, but I was like, "Come on sis, think of all the times I reasoned with mom on your behalf!"

There are several points of interest in this look, however, I think my favorite part is how nicely her top and her hairstyle complement each other.
