Maine-ly Me
If you don’t know by now, I am all about breaking a fashion rule especially when it is just stupid. And “no white after Labor Day” is just stupid. There is actually nothing I love more than a great winter white moment. I don’t know why but I find that winter white is almost easier [...]
