Making Friday with Jenna
I don’t know Jenna McArthur in the least, but I had lots of fun with her picture in my studio last Making Friday, after cutting away her dress to see what she’d look like dressed in Skinny laMinx prints. And the verdict is: She looks great in everything! Which is your fave?
