I find that "at this age" it is disturbingly easy to put something out of whack without doing anything particularly strenuous, and it takes so much longer for it to heal. <br />Lots of good secondhand finds, especially the Derek Lam dress (which doesn't look like so much on the hanger, but man does it look great on you)Forest City Fashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428940427287921203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-19675051789379493872018-07-27T14:12:40.086-07:002018-07-27T14:12:40.086-07:00Ooh, a $5.00 Dries blazer!

You know I came across a long silk blazer made by them last Saturday, I tried it on but it was not quite me.
