Every item gave me this giddy feeling when I purchased it and I just can't bring myself to get rid of the pieces I don't wear as frequently. There's one top from college that I bought my sophomore year (2002!) that I just started to wear again. You just never know.

Actually, I've been there but I was, like, 2 years old so I think I can be forgiven for not remembering anything but feeding ducks? (Actually, I don't remember that - I've just seen that picture a million times!) Haha. Hope you had a great time! <br /><br />Oh, and I love Phoenix!

Or a very short, straight skirt over leggings? I agree that these looser tops look better over tighter fitting tops.<br />I don't know if you sew, but you could always cut them into skirts, depending on the length?<br />I will do the same (pull out stuff I haven't worn in a while) once I get done with August!Radhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01946279879863336523noreply@blogger.com
