Yes the cross is supposed to be up down!
Looks pretty good for hand painted if I do say so myself!

I also felt sad because I hadn’t done an outfit post for a while but I did manage to get a picture the other day when we went for a Starbucks mission so I thought I’d post it for u. You can see the shoes that I talked about above too. I did try to find a before picture but looks like they are sold out online, BOOOO!!
