But she had never bought them herself. The clothes indeed looked great, but the brand’s markup was steep. After a month of hard work, she couldn’t afford a single piece.
Originally, Larissa said they would shop for herself but picked out clothes for Leanne instead. Whenever she saw anything she thought would suit her, she’d ask the store attendant to bring it over for Leanne to try on.
Not to dampen her spirit, Leanne obediently tried on everything like a diligent model, wearing whatever Larissa handed her.
Her proportions were impeccable, making it hard to find fault in anything she tried on. Each piece she wore elicited the same praise like, “You look stunning. It’s the perfect fit as if it were made just for you. This one’s straight off the runway. You look even better
