New Faux or Vintage Recycle
Are you experimenting with some new faux fur trim this season? Or do you have something vintage that has been hibernating in the back of your (or someone else’s) closet?
I do not normally have a strong opinion about tube dresses with the smocked bodice but I absolutely love this Striped chiffon maxi dress from Lane Bryant.
