When they were very little, we hung tissue paper angels from the stairwell, made little scenes on the shelves... <br /><br />I tried on the JC bouclé topcoat today. Funny experience - first, the fabric isn't a bouclé. It has dropped shoulders and a very boxy cut. And when I put it on I loved it! Went home without the coat, v. puzzled - just figured it out. It felt like wearing your date's jacket on a chilly night. I just may treat myself.wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-13761307696017721492014-12-09T22:25:59.320-04:002014-12-09T22:25:59.320-04:00wendy....i am waiting oon your review of the j cre...wendy....i am waiting oon your review of the j crew gold pants....did you like/love or dislike them........CUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748716793401919727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-23798512683295030892014-12-09T21:53:53.604-04:002014-12-09T21:53:53.604-04:00I laughed out loud at this one!
