skygiantsIn last week's Hotel del Luna costume polls, this extremely relatable look claimed the lead among a relatively narrow field of competition:
However, having successfully rested and recovered, Jang Man Wol is back in form this week with a full pallette of exquisitely coordinated looks, accompanied by an exciting variety of mix-and-match accessories!
1.
Starting off very strong with some potentially scandalous black lace - for a business meeting, no less! Can't wear suits to the office every day.
I think what we've actually got here is a nude/pink layer under the world's most gothic sailor dress? It is undoubtedly a Look and the stiletto boots are a fantastic addition.
2.
On the one hand, this more professional look is definitely a little boring by comparison and I don't love the silhouette.
On the other hand, I am genuinely very impressed that she managed to perfectly coordinate her dress and her florist - the pink rose match is terrifyingly exact.
3.
Before we get to the front view here, I just need you all to admire with me the careful arrangement of her incredible ponytail over the back of the chair for Absolute Maximum Drama.
OKAY, LET'S BRING IT IN. The dress! The heels! The sunglasses! The double necklace! The incredible sass! (Her poor manager does, in fact, claim Harvard as his alma mater, and every single joke on this brings balm to my Boston-located soul.) I would ... probably skip the white tights, personally, if I were going for a sunbathing picnic, but I appreciate that this is her Outfit and she is not going to alter it for mere concerns like 'practicality'...
...especially when the tights are required to pull the outfit together with the gloves, the truly ridiculous pearl ring, and the OPERA GLASSES.
4.
Okay, playtime's over; we're back for some customer service face with what I personally consider to be the best of the professional looks for this episode.
The pink suit and the lace are great in and of themselves, but what truly makes this are a.) the waistcoat and b.) the CRAVAT. If you'd described a look to me as 'halfway between a Regency dandy and an eighties flight attendant' I probably would have been a little dubious, but I genuinely think she's pulling this off.
Better with the suit jacket for the full flight attendant effect, or without so her fabulous floofy sleeves can fly free? I don't know, pals, you tell me.
5.
Have no concerns, however, that Jang Man Wol is all work and no play -- for this shopping spree, we're switching straight into a direct Breakfast at Tiffany's homage.
I sincerely urge you to take every single piece of jewelry into account when voting. ([insert Partizan joke here for the three of you who will appreciate it])

She wears this dressing gown for all of two seconds, mostly while holding other dresses up in front of it, but it's perfectly nice and I include it for completionism.
7.
Okay, here's the thing: I truly do love this color red on her and the sleeves are amazing, and normally this would be a strong contender! But compared to some of the other outfits in this episode? I just don't know.
I mean, the other thing is, she's attending a wedding, so I kind of expected she'd be pulling out all the stops. On the other hand, I guess it is polite to make an effort not to outshine the bride.
Also, under most circumstances, I'd be all about the black jacket with the red dress ... but the gauzy sleeves are absolutely the outfit's best feature and the jacket completely obscures them ... ah well.
8.
Has it really been a full episode without a black widow outfit? With five minutes left, we better remedy that quick!
The black suit in and of itself? Fine, good. The black suit crowned with a mourning chauffeur's cap? INCREDIBLE.
(Technically this episode contained one additional look not picture here, but at this point I'm using my future knowledge to reserve it, since it's a flashback outfit that I know will recur later in better lighting and with more possibility for full-body screencaps, and I want it to have its day in the sun. >.>)
