On the left, we have our LA contender Bea (50.1% Perfection!/ 20.4% So close/ 14.3% I feel strangely ambivalent about it/ 14.3% Who did this to you?) wearing a tank that's part of her uniform for Nespresso, an American Apparel skirt, and flats from Payless. Her earrings are from South Africa, she bought her sunglasses at TJ Maxx, and her bag is from Guatemala.

On the right, we have our NYC contender Sarah (62.5% Perfection!/ 24.9% So close/ 6.3% I feel strangely ambivalent about it/ 6.3% Who did this to you?) wearing a dress she made from a vintage skirt, a bag from Iro, shoes from vintage store No. 6, and a Fenton bracelet.
