It is sad to see how poorly made most modern clothing is, especially when compare with pieces like the marvelous horse-print dress and the Geoffrey Beene suit. I've come across a couple of bags very similar to the cream Whiting and Davis one in vintage stores. I like them, but I need a hands-free bag that holds lots of stuff, so I always leave them for other Forest City Fashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428940427287921203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-37096422783903736382020-03-14T14:15:36.725-07:002020-03-14T14:15:36.725-07:00Thank you!
