I think my mom had a blouse like this in the 80s. My entirely thrifted outfit: blouse is Marina Rinaldi, skirt is St. John, loafers are very 80s Gucci (with a whole lot of disinfection, of course).

I'm trying to be "good" and not eat cookies this year.
Which is why I'm buying some to donate to the local cookie share program; hopefully these can brighten the day of someone on the ground. 💜
