-------------------
The art of dressing well is not complicated. Whatever your budget, just invest in the best you can afford. It does however take a little time, and a few well chosen pieces, so that you always have the right things in your wardrobe.
I'm always excited at the start of a new season, and sometimes there is something so, fresh and new that it literally makes me swoon, I have that (can't live without moment) and will throw it lovingly into the mix.
Something tells me that may just happen........But, I guess that's allowed, isn't it?
