Nasty Gal isn't so nasty anymore, in their clothing repertoire that is. This, believe it or not, romper, (who knew), brings a sort of new, fresh, Celine/ american apperal inspired look to the youth of America today. It looks a bit spandex infused, but, with careful pairing (which must look effortless) one could be able to pull this outfit off rather nicley.
