I’ve never heard of Marie Saint Pierre, but I adore those look. That white coat is amazing. The red dress is very cute too. I am going to go look her up now.
I love to the designs, they would work for most body types. Glad to see some neutral colours, I just can’t get into the crazy blinding bright colours that I am seeing as teh “must haves” for the season
