Perfect Outfit: Lolita Meets Def Leppard in This Girly Rock Look We're Dying To Cop

While rocker-chick and babydoll -sweet seem to inhabit two sides of the style spectrum, the ubiquitous leather-jacket-and-floral-dress-combo has proved that combining the two doesn't have to be like mixing oil and water. But with the temperature still too high to rock some leather, here's another alternative to looking sweet and spicy without sweating through your jacket. With one foot in the concert arena and the other foot in a daytime tea party, Gala Gonzalez is giving us a serious case of wardrobe envy with her wrangler-appropriate cowboy belt and YSL Tribs that have any bit of stodginess knocked out of them with the addition of a Refinery-approved sock. A tough cross pendant and high (high!) heels are totally Aerosmith-approved, but the full skirt (and did we mention the socks?) helps temper all the brawn. Copy the look yourself with our finds across the web!
