Fifteen minutes later , she settled for a formal red skirt , white blouse with a white fitted jacket, her white blouse was tight around her breast , which she had successfully managed to hide with her jacket. She wore it with matching blue heels. She removed her hair band and allowed her curly hair to lay loosely on her shoulder.
