I do tend to fall back on styles that I really like to wear a lot. Right now I am working from home, so comfort is key! I am trying to be better about not looking like a total slob, but sometimes the effort is tough. It is easy when I have comfortable pieces to […]
Here are the deets on this outfit. I was going for a gypsy/forest witch kind of look to them. The fabric is from the Fashion Week line at Fabric Anthropology.
