On the left, we have our NYC contender Nyeaka (48.9% Perfection!/24.1% So close/11% I feel strangely ambivalent about it/16% Who did this to you?) whose entire outfit (save her bag, which is from a thrift store) is Zara.
On the right, we have our LA contender Alex (30.9% Perfection!/33.3% So close/22.2% I feel strangely ambivalent about it/13.6% Who did this to you?) wearing a jumper from a vintage store in Austin, TX; a hat from American Vintage; and shoes from a garage sale.
