I was looking at one of my swapovers from 7 years ago, and I had a lot less clothes then! <br /><br />It is hard to let go of "good" clothes, but I find that knowing they are going to my friends or coworkers helps - I know they will go to a good home, where they will be loved and appreciated. <br /><br />Happy Autumn to you, my dear!

I like how you paired this one with the vest. The blazer you wore as outwear is fabulous as well. Your heels and accessories are very cute too. <br /><br />91 pairs of shoes.

More shoes means they last longer! Spread the wear around. Wear your printed ones anyway - they are things and are meant to be used.<br /><br />Thanks!
