That’s why I’m doing BSML. It’s a way for me to play around with the looks that inspire me and tweak them to fit me, while keeping the overall vibe of the garment intact. There’s so many different styles, genres, and icons I can’t wait to try my hand at re-imagining, but the one that started this whole ball a’rollin was this look worn by everyone’s favorite teenage witch, Sabrina Spellman:
