The Rack At The Back!

The Rack At The Back!

For a few brief moments….cool breezes are blowing in San Antonio.  I cannot really call 55 degrees cold…but cool, for sure.  Since our time of cold is a very short window, it is difficult to justify spending big bucks on cold weather clothes…especially cashmere…even as wonderful as it is.

Loving Leopard….because it is really always in style!  No matter the season or the year!  I read so many articles salivating over animal prints as if we have never seen them before, but thank goodness, we have!  Animal print garments and accessories are worth holding on to…they just do not go away!

At the end of summer, I purchased a Grace Elements ponte knit jacket at Stein Mart for about $28.  I love it and have found so many ways to wear it!  That is when I know a garment works for me…is when I actually have too many ways to use it! I should never spend…
