Something old is new again…. On this first week of December I decided to post an outfit I typically would wear during this time of year. I love to wear rich bold color during September through November, but for some reason, when December hits, I want to wear pastels! Here I am wearing a basic […]
November Vintage Photo Challenge…. It’s time again for our “Vintage Photo Challenge.” This time we were inspired by an editorial photo from 1971. The model is wearing fashion by Rodier Paris.
