This mini-bag matches the heart symbols and buttons on Maynard’s dress.
Style analysis: Maynard demonstrates how to remain inspired by fashion, with the ability to transform every day. She did not don a hoodie and jeans to go shopping, but instead a head-to-toe conceptual look that nods to the title character in Alice in Wonderland. Her look is informed by the theatricality of the Harajuku neighborhood in Tokyo, but it does not verge into cosplay. The striped leggings and Lolita-like dress with black headband and blonde bangs make this look a rare treat at a mall.
Always wear your best fashion, Denver…even to the mall.
