( RR-Embrace Secondhand ). Anything high waisted is one of my favorite looks for this year. Fortunately, most of you probably have a lady in your life who owns a pair of "Mom" Jeans.

Hello Fans of Fashion!    As spring nears its end and the weekend approaches, I am eager to post this week's 2WBT1 item. Using your creativity with basic items is an excellent way to expand the possibilities for your inner fashionista.  Two weeks ago, I featured a fabulous navy, mini skirt.    The most fabulous thing about this mini skirt is that it isn't really a skirt at all.
