No, I will probably keep it out - it's very light, actually - but as we get closer to fall (and I run out of room for new things in my closet) it will probably be set aside for the cooler months. <br /><br />Ah, that sounds Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735339885677950350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-14428157695556180422017-04-30T16:26:02.088-07:002017-04-30T16:26:02.088-07:00I know, right?

All of the detail on the beaded top is a complete winner for me and I can understand your respect for the vintage skirt.
