And I don't even dress up every day, more like 2-3 times a week (typically). I love the old-fashioned way of dressing up for breakfast, then a new outfit for lunch, and yet another one for dinner. But then, of course, how long would take to wash/iron everything?<br /><br />Lots of love, and do get well soon! <3Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833738977646898455.post-87269175844935050842017-08-23T14:05:40.664+02:002017-08-23T14:05:40.664+02:00mwahah, I understand that urge to wear all your su...mwahah, I understand that urge to wear all your summer clothes as many times as possible, even under a cardi!.
