Fashion Friday: Episode 62

One of my favorite recent clothing purchases is this blue ribbed cropped open jacket. It's so comfortable and just thick enough to keep me warm during nice but windy spring and summer days.

It's also detailed with tiny silver bead trim on the edges of all the ruffles! Read more...
